    Doubt he'd come - he'd be amazing, but a media career beckons, methinks....

    Got the "royal calling" did he?

    Has to come from within

    I dont think he's the answer. But he would help make us better for sure.

    Would be great but I think outside of a media gig he would do either of:

    1. Go to Gold coast as a coach in waiting 

    2. Stay at the hawks where his heart is

    Speaking of hawk assistant coaches i wonder whether the club have ever approached neita or yze about coming back? Particularly yze, as he's learned from the best in clarko, his heart is red and blue and he was an elite kick which is something our midfield is presently deficient on

    Not a bad thought DD82. having a club legend like Neita involved could only improve our coaching standards.

    What an odd post. Let's just get the best people for the job in all positions at the club, on and off field. Doesn't matter one iota whether they come from 'within' or not.

    Not a single member of our senior coaching staff has come from 'within'. Why would this make any success we have "an illusion"?

    Think our coaches are pretty  settled and of good quality. The improvement needs to come from the players not letting 5-10 mins slip a game which bones us.

    I would even put him on contract for a season, if that's what it took.

    Its a yes from me.

    Well I guess we shouldn't have PJ then, & Roosy was a mistake as well. 

    We have been fooling ourselves looking outside the Mfc box all this time, when we had all the skills within to fark it ourselves.

    Why?

    For skills that we needed in areas where we were lacking, such as a good CEO, or a good coach, yes, outsiders have come in and done well. Garlett, Vince, etc.

     

    But for the burning issue of mental strength, you can't buy it or recruit it.

    Has to come from within, meaning, the list we have has to solve it for themselves.

    It has alway irked me that they went over and have been hanging around all those yellow and brown scum.

    100% agree with you here.

    But wouldnt having hodge on the coaching staff help this to happen?

    Very very recent  rumour says we've just reappointed our 2017 coaches for 2018

    Reckon there's a cuppla toige's with photos and we've got no $s

    Lets just let Lewey transition into coaching first.

    Although based on Friday night  I'd bring Ooze back as the goal kicking coach !

    No, he's indicated he's not interested in coaching and looking for a media career.

    ...we need people 100% committed to coaching who are good at what they do. I think we already have them.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
