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.

    http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-03/clubs-show-interest-in-discarded-crows-assistant0

     

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
