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.

  • 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

    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.
