That’s what we need to find out as quick as possible. If it was Goodwin’s idea to bring him on board, fine. 

If not it could be Rocky, but all the assistants are walking...

Who is walking? McCartney and Jennings were pushed out, Rawlings has gone for another gig after 8 years. Hardly a mass exodus.

Damien Barrett reporting Jade Rawlings set to leave and join Shaw at the Roos.

We are going to have a lot of new faces around next year.

Bugger 

Bugger  bugger  bugger 

The only bloody bloke who actually  knew anything  imho

Was hoping hed stay...gut feeling he wouldn't. ..and why would you.

Good luck Twig

In reality i just think Jade needed fresh air and a clear path.....and to get as far away from the dysfunctional  heap of poo we are. 

He's  been around this club long enough to know what's  what and who's  bogus.

Don't  blame  him a bit....but it's  a huge loss for us...huge.

I wonder if we might have a look at Hirdy in a Senior Assistant role. We need the best people and Hirdy brings an aura and win at all cost mentality. Thoughts? 

Go stand under a cold shower until sense kicks in

We should never entertain that pos.. ever..EVER

I would be amazed that someone inside the inner circle at the club would provide that info to another person to allow them to blab it out over the internet.I say inner circle because they would be the only ones that would if this was the case.

This sort of stuff usually comes from people who put a bit of money in the club and like to feel that puts them on the inside, it can also be from disgruntled board members.

Players connections can also get in on the odd Chinese whisper.

It would be very unlikely to come from anyone in the FD...

I thought you said you asked direct questions, so you didn't get a direct answer, it was implied

Every season there is a turnover of assistant coaches at clubs,  we were pretty steady for a couple of years, we needed to be, now is the opportunity for change which is happening 

You seem to be the only one surprised

But there is not much talent out there looking for a change, so hopefully we won't go overboard

 

Melodrama central!

i know nothing, but if we don’t start with a ‘Sky is falling’ point of view, then maybe North, who need a new assistant, figured Jade to be the best available and made him an offer?  After 8 years at one club, it would also make sense to be exposed to other systems as you work toward your own senior gig.

I didn’t mind Rawlings and agree with others that he was likely our best assistant coach.

But, why is he getting rave reviews for turning our forward line around? We had a 2-8 record under Rawlings as our fwd line coach which was an even worse record than before the mid season changes.

I did ask direct questions. I am waiting for some answers before i would even think about Posting on here. 

What i posted last night, i stand by. Major Changes will be on going. Not just yearly reshuffles

So far, it seems so

Good to see the Board getting proactive

 

Gee, who'd have thunk there'd be major changes when a club goes from 4th to 17th in a year. What a bolt from the blue. Thank god for "our sources"!

So who is left in terms of assistant coaches?

Chaplin and Rooke? Great. Just [censored] great.

Who is this Major Changes fellow?  Does he run the military style pre-season camp?  Bravo I say, Major, off you go!

Not to mention a club undergoing a review.

Let me be the first to say I believe there will be major changes at the crows. Major.

I'm one of those, but wouldn't the pre-season we had go hand in hand with what is happening now?  Clearly we made some major errors over the 2019 pre-season and we are now making changes to rectify the situation, both on and off the field.  

These changes are no surprise to me, and are welcomed, based off many aspects, one of which was how poor that pre-season was.  It should never have happened that way.

I'm hearing that Richo and Goody are already at loggerheads and Richo is also on the brink of walking out.

He says Goodwin is too stubborn and has never seen a single Dees loss - he thinks they're all just bad days!

If only he'd taken a leaf out of Norm Smith's book - Norm watched endless replays of the '54 GF defeat over and over again, analysing where the Dogs picked us apart. Made the team bullet-proof for a decade.

Goodwin had the same opportunity to win 5 premierships in 6 years and completely blew it.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
