I wonder if that is a promotion or demotion?

I think it's a promotion for one and a demotion for the other but not sure which.

I would think Rawlings has been told he will not get the GC job and is trying to improve his CV by coaching a team outright.

yep agreed. Sounds the most plausible explanation...he'll hopefully also be super aligned with main team and Goodwin which is even better. 

Its hard to see Rawlings ever being a senior coach. Bit like Sumich he seems to have a stigma attached to him.

 

Sounds like he has asked to do this with his goal of being a senior coach in mind


Would love to know Goodwin's thoughts on this. 

Rawlings has the paper to say he can be a senior coach, now wants a team to try it out on

Plapp has taken a team that constantly changes personnel from the bottom to ginals in 2 years, next step

That's kind of my thinking.  It's a bit of a win-win for them.  One needs to show he can manage a team, the other needs top-level experience.

It improve both men's CV, it has became highly rated for coaches to have coached their own team, before getting an AFL head coach role, with beverage and Bolton, also if plapp wants to coach an AFL team then you have to be in the AFL system. 

I think it is smart in all directions.  Seeing Plapp in the huddles on the telly suggests he has clear, strong messaging skills, has worked with most of the guys in the backline (if he gets that gig) and has shown a real emphasis on defensive pressure and getting to the contest.  I remember watching when Casey beat Willi, and he really looked the goods as coach with his simple reminders of what needed to be done and clear directions to the team.

A good move for Jade’s CV, and we keep the strong connection in game style and approach across the alignment.

good fortune to both gentlemen in 2018!


Something had to happen. Good luck to all but better luck to MELBOURNE.

Go Dees

Honestly, who knows really, but it does sound like a mutually beneficial role swap of sorts. Plapp to me has always come across as a coach invested in his players so will bring that to the MFC coaches box, and Rawlings gets the opportunity to enhance his CV by coaching his own team as old dee points out above.

Best of luck to both!

Coaching an aligned VFL team must be a nightmare.

As I understand it the AFL listed players train in town while the Casey listed players train at Casey and it is only at finals time that the team might train together.

With no Development League next year training at Casey could be a lonely exercise given the reduced number of players.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
