We need fresh eyes. If not the coach then others around should make way for new ideas. I do like Jade and wish him the best!

This is a bit disappointing.

Would much rather lose Plapp or Chaplin who had no AFL coaching experience before coming to the Dees, joining Goodwin who himself is a rookie in the role.  Sure we need some fresh eyes but we hav

Or did it? Maybe that’s what the French want us to think, they’re very protective of their sauces.

And product names

I know new recruits always have to give the usual positive spin, but found these couple of quotes interesting from Twig (or maybe I'm reading too much into it):

“It was quite clear where he sees the group are currently at, and where he believes they can get to. Rhyce’s understanding of where they’re at really impressed me."

“I was probably looking for a bit more meat on the bone in terms of the role, and Rhyce and North Melbourne were able to provide that. I’m genuinely excited about.” 

Rawlings looks to future

This has worked out well for both at the moment.

Who says it hasn't worked out well for Rawlings? Clearly wasn't happy at Melbourne with how they mucked around his role, seems to have a more settled role now. Weird bump.

Bloke will be a senior coach at some stage. Smart footy person, good communicator, not a 'yes man' like Goody wants. He was a loss for us.

Shaw very much strikes me as an interim coach. Another Brendan Bolton. Lose so many games that you can build from the draft and then get fired, only for a better coach to take over.

I know we often give it to Goodwin for being overly positive after a loss but Shaw sounds so negative regardless of the outcome. 

I can't see him lasting too long.

What does he have to be positive about? ?

Jade is likeable and a very good line coach but that's it. Doesn't have the presence of a senior coach or the advanced people smarts to get the best out of players.

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

I'd suggest he has missed out on a few senior gigs by now not just that one. There is a dearth of coaches capable ready to step up at the moment so Robert Harvey, Jade Rawlings and others keep presenting but never get the main gigs. Its like the girl you have know for ages and are great friends with but would never go out with them :)

Haha I like that friend zone analogy. Well played.

Demons, I don't entirely agree with that. I saw enough games at Casey to witness a coach with the capacity to completely hold player attention (certainly within a game day context)

I'd also suggest that many would have thought similar about Hardwick prior to success and Clarkson when he first started.

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 ...

Like Voss? Maybe Hird? How about Neeld? ;)

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
