We’ve got a few vacancies - let’s get both of them.

Hodge is absolutely locked in at Brisbane for next year and probably the short/medium term but it's worth working on him now for if/when he comes back to Victoria.

Yep, Fagan was saying this morning that Hodge will be a part time coach for them next year as well as doing some media and corporate work while he decides what he wants to do in the long term.

Scotty Burns is now red hot favourite to replace Pyke.  scott-burns-favourite-to-be-next-crows-coach

Burns is another from the Clarkson coaching school.

Having just lost Darren Glass (assistant coach) to WCE as List Manager, does Burns' departure mean there is less chance of prizing Yze from Hawks...

For me, the lack of noise and action on this now suggests its not going to happen.. and you would have to assume our sights are set on coaches that are still in the final 4, because we have at least 2 spots to fill?

Macca - Richo

Jennings - ??

Rawlings - ??

Personally, I would very much like:

Macca - Richo

Jennings - Yze

Rawlings - Plapp (Casey)

Plapp - Andy Collins

That's a good list and i like the Collins name thrown into the mix..  Im  a fan of Giansiracusa, but cant see him leaving the dogs. Of the 4 sides  left in it: Scarlett would be great from Cats - but cant see that either. No one at GWS apart from a Lenny Hayes but has recently re-signed, at the Pies i like them all, Harvey, Hocking and Longmuir, plus Matt Boyd and the Tigers have Kingsley who is very well regarded.

Yes, and that’s probably who Garry Lyon was referring to in that interview that got this thread in a bit of a lather (myself included). Makes me think he’s not actually going anywhere.

Burns is a South Australian too so this isn't surprising.

It possibly does somewhat unfortunately. May come down to what role the Hawks want Yze for in 2020 as opposed to the role we want him for. He's still contracted to the Hawks, but clubs generally let assistants go if it's for a promotion. If Burns leaves it does hurt our chances a little IMO.

Burns’ name comes up whenever there’s a senior vacancy, the fact he’s from SA has probably added fuel to the fire. Even if he does take the Adelaide job, I still think Yze will leave. I’m lead to believe and I’m of the understanding that Yze leaving has been planned for quite some time.

Are you inferring that ETthetradebreaker©️™️ makes things up as he goes? 

(For real heard the plan was for him to move on elsewhere).

Still no nooze on ooze?  

In fact no news on anyone. i mean Nth Melbourne have manged to replace assistant coaches, Essendon have done the same, so have Carlton and Hawthorn, we lose 3 major coaching cogs, replace 1, dont announce what his role is and dont hear a single thing regarding likely replacements.. except speculation on here on who might be good.

And yes i know.. be patient and all that and we dont leak and just because its not in the news blah blah blah but it feels suspiciously quiet on this front to me.

 


I actually do wonder whether we have announced further appointments because the people we have appointment are currently contending in finals? Should we expect an announcement either this week or next?

Things have cooled somewhat, not sure if it's due to the Hawks waiting on Burns, but possible. Yze is contracted for next year, he's in the middle of a 2 year contract, but as mentioned earlier, teams let assistants leave for a promotion (which could be another factor).

Word is he thinks the list is in a good place and from the outside there's some obvious answers to our problems currently, so I think he's still very much considering the move in a positive way.

Fingers crossed.

Do you agree LN that its very quiet on our replacements for Assistant coaches though? i know we have speculated but i haven't heard anything in the press at all.

Yeah, but it seems relatively quiet in general on that front, at least from what I've seen in the media. I know they usually let them know in August, so maybe it's just still getting past all the obstacles of finals, post-season holidays and interviews etc.

Not happening now.

He was keen. Hawks upped the ante, convinced him that his future was with them and that they expect him to honour the second year of his contract. Would have been a perfect get for our current needs.

He's apparently pretty shattered he wasn't able to make it happen.

Will it be on the cards for next year then?

Don't know, but gut feel is no. Sounds like the Hawks really value him and the next time he leaves them (if he does) it will be to be a senior coach.

This is a bit of kick in the guts.. he was a great fit. 

Where to now?

Not sure. That was the only whisper I'd heard about incoming assistants at this stage.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
