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.

    The why is always a good starting point.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
