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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
