Chaplin lost me last year when he was seen wearing his Richmond scarf, beanie, jumper and duffel coat to every Richmond final last year despite being a paid MFC employer.

Whether he can coach or not is another story. And it's questionable given he's the coach of our worst unit on the field.

I would have issues with this IF Melbourne FC was also playing finals.

CGAF otherwise.

    I don’t think he’s up to it, nor would he want it.

    I would prefer we got a bit more experience and not another novice like Mitchell.

    I had my eye on Richardson if the Saints went down in a heap...a great assistant coach but likely to stay on now.

    Highly regarded in SA...

    Unlikely in my opinion. More likely to go back to Geelong than anything.

    Why's that, mate?

    Is that right, i saw him on GF day hugging players, didnt know about him wearing a scarf.

    That is terrible would he do that if we had to play against Rich in finals the tool.

    I don’t see what the big deal is... dees weren’t playing and clearly he’ll still have good mates at the tigers. It wouldn’t impact his day job when he’s ‘clocked on’. Seems like a real nothing thing to care about. I’m professional at work but don’t spruik my workplace 24/7.

    Exactly. The MFC was in Bali...

    The players had already clocked off

    Yeah. I've done plenty of screaming and fist pumps when a non-melb team i'm rooting for scores a goal or wins a game. Dogs v Hawks in 2016 from memory also a Pavlich goal in 3rd qtr v Hawks in the GF. I don't think I've betrayed the Dees...

    [censored] not on in my book, hug players congratulate but you do not don the colours of another club, whilst your working for another [censored] him off.

    Ryan on the lookout.

     

    Ryan O'Keefe is on the lookout for a coaching role in the AFL.

    We could do much worse than look at him.

    I'm always interested in the why - aside from how he played, what do you know (i'm genuinely curious) about how he coaches?, why would we want to consider him?

    wouldn't be surprised if the Eagleshold him to their 3 year assistant coach contract. But base him in a Melbourne office...

     

    having said that. get him in now!

    A quality person and a great player Ex Sydney;,,,  who has been coaching with the Crows for the past 4 years or so.

     

    * He has the Swans ethics culture, built in... we can expect to meet the Swans in finals in coming seasons.

    * He knows the Crows players, and Styles/methods, which we will be playing in Finals against in coming seasons.

    * He knows footy inside out,  (especially forward/mids)  & he's looking for a coaching role in the AFL, currently.

    * He's a winner.

     

    Other than these thoughts, I can't say anymore than that,,,  other then he's always been one of my Favs as a player.

    We have a few players who try to play as Half forwards/Mids.... ROk's specialty.

    • 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.
