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 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?

Yes the word discarded is not a good start

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 Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
