I know we are suffering and have endured so much after the deplorable decisions of sacking Norm Smith, the most greatest coach.  Committees make mistakes that contnue today.  Why sign a coach before the season starts, for three more years, after such a disastrous loss.  If he knew his worth and was committed, he would have stayed.  If the circumstances were, we were on the verge of winning a flag,  do you think he would say I am the sole reason we are good?  Do you think he would leave us?  Think about it?  Is a coach going to leave a winning team?

    My eyes on the street tell me Alistair Clarkson has been spotted house shopping in North Coogee, a suburb not too far from Fremantle and Fremantle FC’s home base.

    If true, does that increase/decrease odds of Yze coming to Dees?

    My guess is that MFC will the be the last to follow the Director of Coaching model, when Roos was actually the first to propose it a few years ago.

    Heard the same on Monday from another Dockers fan, who is usually in the know.

    My thoughts are it's absolute not happening. Logic tells you Hawks and Dockers seasons are finished so nothing standing in the way of an announcement. Only thing in Freos favour would be the contempt Clarko has for Kennett.

    Pies season is still alive, Longmuir likely to be announced when that finishes

    This pure angst gold. You have out done yourself this time on the bag everything dees related scale TGR. Brilliant stuff.

    To parlay a barley formed rumour about Clarkson looking at properties in Perth into an opportunity to bag the dees is next level wrist slashing genius. I am seriously impressed.

    The other negative nellies on this site should bow before your angsty greatness.

    Where have I referred to Clarkson?  Never came into my thinking at all.  But if it suits your puppy-with-tongue-out shtick, keep going with it.

    • 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.
