Strange, wasn't Chaplin a defender? Anyway, welcome Troy.

Often defenders end up becoming offensive coaches as they have studied how to nulify offensive running patterns etc. Happens in various sports

    2 Jade Rawlings' are better than 1?

    Apparently a smart player who has worked hard in preparing for coaching. His boss at the Oakleigh Chargers is our women's/development coach so he'd know whether he is impressive or not.

    Job titles are overrated, although I do have concerns that we are hiring a player from one of the worst ball movement teams in the league to have a role in that.

    That said, Tiger fans say Chaplin was vital in the development of Rance who is a one man wrecking ball of a zone defender.

    Have heard nothing but good things about Chaplin as a coaching mind and mentor. Apparently a brilliant tactician and good communicator. Surprised me to be honest.

    Correct me if i am wrong but the current coaching group is now

    Simon Goodwin - Senior Coach

    Craig Jennings - Education coordinator

    Brendan McCartney- Player and coach performance coordinator 

    Mathew Egan - Head of development

    Jade Rawlings - Defensive coordinator 

    Dan Mcpherson - i thought he was offensive coordinator?

    Ben Mathews - Midfield & Stoppage coach

    Greg Stafford - Ruck coach 

    Troy Chaplin - Offensive coordinator

     

    Looks a very strong group to me, four coaches who have coached their own team.

    Yeah, I would assume that Dan McPherson might be show the door.

    Truth be told, some new ideas in our forward line would be most welcome.

    One day somebody will publish job descriptions for each of these positions and we will learn how they all fill in their day. We must be getting close to the point where each player has his own coach.

    Hmmmmm... not thrilled with this appointment tbh. He handled his departure from Port Adelaide very poorly. Hopefully he's matured significantly since then...

    Im hopefull that Chaplins relationship with Vickory is strong - send jake and anb over to the tiges for a genuine 200 cm foward / ruck . 

     

    Vickory has been held back from the ruck at the tiges - played his underage as a ruckman so why not as a second to gawn . Can box a bit too would make a few stand taller .

    I am not a fan of huge coaching groups, and hopefully we will see a day when there are only five: head coach, development coach, forward, mids, backs. I understand the need for an older mature head but I can't understand why that can't be the devlopment coach. From my limited insight gained only from reading various things, Chaplin is respected and has always been touted as a coach, I am just unconvinced we need to pay someone good coin to coordinate the forwards, alongside the forward coach.

    Maybe his role includes a new emphasais on sledging - so when our boys have a go at a galumphing dick like Brendon Goddard or Heath Shaw, it will be pre-organsied and really effective.

    Look forward to working with you Red, i've been appointed director of drinking and shenanigans, really keen to develop some really unhealthy habits within the club and hopefully set us up for a period of sustained memory loss and inebriation

    There are also the Casey coaches (and the Women's team), all of which are either on the MFCFD payroll or aligned/integrated with our coaches philosophy!

    Even if he hasn't a strong relationship with Vickory, let's hope that he has one with Ty Vickery!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
