Primarily because I don't want a "boy's club" but instead a variety of different influences.

Montgomery has been under some pretty handy coaches, whilst Sumich is super highly rated in the west, and the other two have been involved in one of the most successful eras of all time.

I know Egan has big wraps but I just worry about too many of the same influences coming to reinforce the same messaging as opposed to look at different avenues.

Whilst I would welcome Egan, as from all reports he is a coach on the rise, again I ask, we have a full complement of coaches, where does he fit, do we need an additional coach, having not heard any talk from the club saying we will replace Goodwin on the line, only Stinear once he finishes his coaching with the girls will be integrated into the development side headed up by McCartney

We don't have a full complement of coaches.

Roos left. Goody took his job. Stinear will be another development coach, and has not taken Goody's role. There is another position open

I think he did a bit more than just hang around and wait...

Yes, clearly, but all in the view that it would be work that he would continue when he became senior coach, or stuff Roos (or other assistants) would be doing if Goodwin wasn't there. I took it as a role with a high degree of redundancy; I accept that I am just assuming though.

Who was our senior assistant in year 1 of Roos' tenure, before Goodwin was hired?

Yes that is what I was asking as well, is once Goodwin vacated, the position would cease to exist, no chat whatsoever from the club about hiring another coach, but who knows?

Goodwin's role was coach in waiting, is that a vacancy that would generally be filled?

Goodwin was also the forwards coach this year as they moved the previous guy - McPherson in to a ball movement/oversight with Casey role. 

They could hire a new forwards coach or McPherson could resume the forwards job and then they could add or not add someone in to the role he took this year. 

I would say we are well placed but probably not overflowing with coaches. There could be room for 1 more. We've got a large Roosy salary coming off the books!

Lot of clubs have been offering huge celery to Stewart Dew,which was rejected.

He would be the largest signing for us in years.

Could teach our players to go for the Krill.

This is happening.

That is fabulous news. 

I heard Chocco Williams recently say how little Rance understood of the 'defenders' craft before Leppitsch @ Richmond.  Leppitsch taught Rance stuff like - when to run off the man, where to position himself, when to mark/when to hit the ball away, running his man under the ball etc etc.  I think we need someone to teach Oscar, Tom and Sam the same things.  No offence to Rawlings but I think Matty Egan is the guy we need.

Covered in peanut butter no doubt.

Not to be lost in there: "McCartney will now move into a newly created role of player/coach performance manager."

 

 

Ive got no idea what that translates into  ( not a sleight at yo Stu

just what is that as a job ?  And I thought Macca was the ultimate player-whisperer ?

I've got to admit I've got no idea how these people fill their days at work anyway. All I know is that it matters that our players are properly developed and we've added a highly rated younger resource; since Macca is still on board I'll just assume the new structure is an improvement on what we had and be happy.

The impression I got is that it means Macca will be less player development and more like that director of coaching or "senior" assistant we see a lot these days with new coaches.

Gives Goody a bit more support I think,

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
