Voss and Hird didn't do an apprenticeship, Neeld didn't even play AFL did he? Back to the thread, so you would appoint Jade when if Goodwin get the chop? Don't think so

    Yep many of their supporters can be right pains in the [censored] and carry on whenever they happen to be going along alright as if they're the next AFL messiah.  Mind you they aren't alone here.  There's a few other Vic club supporters with similar traits.

    The fact they owned us for quite some time with a mediocre side was an even bigger pain!   Great to see them holding up the right end of the ladder instead of balancing it in the middle rungs and out performing their list.

    No I wouldn't, and nowhere did I say that. You didn't say anything about apprenticeships, you said Rawlings won't make a good senior coach because he doesn't have "mongrel". Just gave you 3 'mongrels' who were failures as senior coaches.

    Take your point, although I'm not sure that a good senior coach at VFL level is going to be a good coach at AFL level. Often the better coaches are types that played with mongrel or extreme levels of competitiveness and can keep players on edge and their teams tend to play a similar style ... 

    This is so far from the truth.

    As you would appreciate a good coach needs lots of attributes.

    Strangely after the back and forth, you actually agree he isn't a senior coach. Why dont you think he would make a good coach?

    I never said he wouldn't make a good coach. My opinion is he needs a bit more experience, that's pretty much it.

    If you ask the Casey boys, they all loved him as their head coach, and the MFC players all speak highly of him as well.

    I think he'll be a senior AFL coach at some stage, just not quite yet.

    He has been in the system long enough and coached this own sides at afl and vfl. His time had passed

    He played 74 games at Geelong and Richmond.  A footy fan would probably be aware of this.

    l said often. If l look at the premiership winning senior coaches of recent times over half had mongrel or were ultra competitive types as players. They clearly need to have other attributes but the former helps

    Either the bros fell out of love or GM Football (or someone on high) overruled the coach on who is on his team...

     

    As an aside, one has to wonder who is pulling the strings at North - plenty of ex-players putting their bib in.  In a world of hurt...

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
