Wow.

Head-hunted.

Decapitated.

Jeepers! Would his brother have fired him? 

Stayed tuned for next week's game of thrones episode at Arden Street...

Bring him home. The line coaches need a good shake up after what they dished out the past couple of years. Especially with B1 and B2 at the helm. 

 

Age article states : Sources indicated the decision on Jade was part of a sweeping decision from the club board to radically overhaul the entirety of the football program from this year at all levels. Furthermore 

The AFL has ruled that any redundancy payments made by clubs this year to reduce staff in line with a reduced soft cap on footy spending next year – a consequence of the league's austerity measures as a COVID response – will not be included in the soft cap for 2021.

That has led to the farcical situation at some clubs where staff will be paid out their contracts for all of next year despite not working at the club. These are clubs that are financial enough to keep the staff on and would rather see them remain and work, but the AFL is insistent they get employees off the books.

Maybe he can come back and all you Goodwin haters don't get ideas

Yep but u watch next season they will go past us. 

No. It will take a few years to put this broken mess together. They didn’t listen to Brad Scott and are now paying a very heavy price

If that is right perhaps there is hope to get rid of Goodwin

 

Can’t see any team getting near North and the wooden spoon next year. 
bizarre off season already and it’s barely started!

We need fresh eyes. Pass from me.


Get him back in the coaching team.

He can take over as care taker when we sack Goodwin mid year.

Yet he very nearly got the Freo job because their board were so impressed with him.

Sorry he wasn't close to getting the Freo job.  Longmuir, Carr and Solomon were the 3 in the running.

I don't actually mind Jade as a coach

Interesting. I heard Yze was close. Do you know if he interviewed for the Freo job?

don't think so, wasn't he talked up strongly for Adelaide position last season.

Interesting, because a Freo supporter who spoke to Adem told me that one. It didn't entirely add up, so perhaps it was wrong.

Well according to Jade’s manager Liam Pickering he just missed out on the Fremantle coaching job. Seems odd that you would say that on radio if it wasn’t the case. 
 

Anyway I think Jade will be one of the lucky assistant coaches and find another job.

Surely we’re chatting to him. He was one of our really good coaches, he’s proven, and he enjoys a good relationship with the players.

I also hope we’re in Dean Solomon’s ear.

Do nth have to pay out the remainder of his 2 years. Gee that's a bit awkward moving your brother on. 

Nth seem to be a rabble. They want to trade there forward, I mean who will kick there goals next year?

Higgins may move on which to me is a mistake because he has been great for them and provides experience. 

On another note I see essendon have put sheedy on there board. Isn't time essendon moved on and started new without him. I mean they sacked him as coach years ago and he is still there in the background. I know he was obviously at gws but surely at some stage you have to cut the apron strings.


The money will be spent on Paul Roos as Rhys' right hand man

"Yeah, unfortunately Jade wasn't up to it ... Freo didn't think much of him ... but we're hopeful of landing him a coaching gig at another club in spite of that."

 

Not saying that's what really happened, but if Pickering said it was night time you'd look outside to make sure.

I think what's going to happen league-wide is that the AFL will help pay out a strategic amount of excess FD soft cap at each club. Given they're imposing austerity measures, they need to be sure that club's can structure their FDs in a competitive way, otherwise it'll just mean the AFL has to pump more money into certain clubs down the line.

In such a volatile time, the AFL has to make sure all 18 clubs offer their memberships something in the near future, otherwise we could see 2 or more clubs fold. This means smaller broadcast deals and the potentiality of having to up the number of yearly fixtures to cover the shortfall in the smaller broadcast deal. At a point that becomes unsustainable too. The 38 games in the English Premiere League season are not comparable with 38 games of AFL football.

I'm telling you from someone at Freo he wasn't close.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
