I could say Ron Barassi but I won't.What interests me is that some of the most astute and successful coaches haven't been great players. Clarkson was a thug and a battler, Tom Hafey was a battler, Luke Beveridge ditto. Sheedy was a full time thug, Malthouse was an honest toiler. Timmy Watson, James Hird, Voss, Schimilbusch, Hart, Primus, Buckley, (hey, thanks Eddie, baby,) Knights,Bourke, Bartlett etc were great footballers, lousy coaches...

Then there were the greats like Barassi, Smith, Matthews (THUG), Blight, Alves and a few others who could do both.

The name that rings my bells is Nathan Bassett,a dud at Melbourne, a star in hometown Adelaide.

Paul Roos was a pretty handy player......

What a complete and utter load of rubbish.

Everyone knows we should be bring back Mark Neeld.  In addition, replacing Jason Taylor with Barry Prendergast wouldn't go astray either and what's Tom Gilles doing these days?

I actually think that we buy a new whiteboard to replace the one that was thrown in the skip behind AAMI Park and start a brilliant You Tube series outlining our vision for the club. I like to call it our 'red and blueprint'.

Goody is highly respected by anyone who has anything to do with the Adelaide footy club, i'm sure there will be a few blokes keen to work with him

Chris Connolly, he took the fall unjustly after the stool pigeon Mclean dobbed him in.

Would bring a lot of experience and his fondness for the club remains unquestioned.

You've got to be kidding.

Ready, aim, fire:

Childhood Dees supporter Chris "I'm Baaack!" Judd (ref FC tonight).

Maybe not Goodwin's chair, but one of the footstools?

Brad Green? Although I don't think he is senior enough or experienced enough to replace Goodwin. Brett Ratten I reckon to take Goodwin's place - hard done by at Carlton, great education at Hawthorn, and knows the Dee's well: would be ideal I would have thought.

Brett Ratten for midfield. 

Adem Yze for kicking.

They don't really have a coach for the midfield these days. It'd be stoppages if you like or ball movement/transition etc. At least, that's how our FD is currently set up. Would snap Ratten up as one of those though. Of course has history at Melbourne too.

I wonder how many assistants will move on after Roos leaves. You usually see a bit of a turnover. Might be influenced by what Roos ends up doing next year after his time out o/s. I noticed on the weekend his younger son was playing for Carltons affiliate against Casey.

What about Woewodin? Currently coaching the Lions NEAFL team and was the Lions midfield coach for a few years after coaching in the WAFL. Even though the lions haven't been high achievers in his time there the midfield has always been their strongest area.

Didn't Neitz join Hawthorn this year? Nice one to get back. Good mentor for Jesse and the Weed.

Generally speaking, there are a huge number of players that played under Balme and Daniher now involved in coaching.

Just waiting for the Wizard's entry into coaching!

Brendan McCartney will be the Senior Assistant this was announced when they announced Simon Goodwin will be coach. Brendan McCartney was going to develop the young players for 2015 & 2016 after that he was going mentor Simon Goodwin.

Please stay away from Green.. Loved him as a player but he got the ass from Carlton when they were a horrid. Goes to North Melbourne as a defence coach and now their biggest problem is their poor defence that leak way too many goals.

Forget about romance and focus on getting the best people possible.

I reckon Brett would hardly know a soul at the club these days. In the 10 (?) years since he was there the place has changed beyond recognition.

I could see McCartney moving into the role and then trying to poach another highly rated coach from another club to fill McCartney's position. I would love us to try to get Ratten back at the club, I really rated his work at Melbourne and even felt he was doing a good job at Carlton under the circumstances. I believe he's still at Hawthorn and I know everyone loves working there given the success, perhaps the carrot of being part of future success at Melbourne could lure him over.

Can we just pay McCartney more and give him a fancier title to continue doing what he's doing? Formula seems to be working. Also, are we at risk of poaching here? 

I think that's pretty much exactly what will happen except he'll take on more overseeing of the other coaches and we'll need someone to step into his current role.

And btw Alistair Lynch has been at a couple of training sessions doing part time work with our forwards and defenders.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
