Who should our next coach be?

Goodwin is surely done barring total incompetence from our board  (which is possible).

Who do you want to coach us next?   I will go with Ross Lyon, we need someone experienced and he taken two teams to Grand Finals.  An untried coach is too much of a risk for us.

    Clarko. He is trying to get him self sacked from the dawks... 

    And he should be given a blank cheque book to bring in what ever assistant and line coaches he needs, because ours are absolutely [censored] house

    Who should our next board be?  These blokes have committed us to two more years, unnecessarily, of this rubbish.

    Don't blame Goodwin.  We need a new coach but the board must go as well.  Useless bunch of nuff nuffs.

    Someone who doesn't care about being liked.Or being nice.

    Someone who can deliver a spray.

    Ross the Boss seems the obvious choice.

    None of this new wave [censored].

    No way Goodwin will be sacked this year. 

    Can’t see another available coach doing a better job. the culture and the attitude sucks at our club. 
    Unless Clarko wants to leave

    Our board will give Goodwin an extension. That's how [censored] this club is.

    Al Clarkson and Adem Yze as senior Assistant.

    Clear out all the rubbish coaches we have in there.

    He's running the VFL now I think, looking at a management side of football rather than coaching.

    ...but wouldn't mind trying to get him to take over the FD and succession plan for Pert's job.

    He doesn't BS and can judge a list...North should have listened to him.

    How the hell did Alan Richardson get a gig? Whatever people think of Jade Rawlings, mind boggling that Richardson stays and Rawlings leaves. 

    And why do I feel like Collingwood were punching the sky when they got rid of Pert?

    wont matter, players that come to the MFC only come for the paycheque, they don't want to win games, play finals or win premierships.

    Goodwin is not going anywhere. Not saying I agree, it's just the reality.

    Also...Ross Lyon, Adem Yze, Jordan Lewis.

    It's all a deep state conspiracy - Pert is a Collingwood plant installed to ensure a ceiling is kept on a potential MFC rise and to see off any threat of a land grab around the Olympic Park precinct.

    Bring on the Yze.  He's highly rated, he's had a long apprenticeship under Clarkson and he was an exceptional kick.  Just what we need.

    It has to be Alistair Clarkson.

    Nobody else. He is a 4 time Premiership coach. We missed out on Kevin Sheedy in 2008. We cannot make the same mistake again.

    Alistair Clarkson's days at Hawthorn are numbered.

    We can't risk another young and untried coach.

    Get Alistair Clarkson with Adem Yze as his assistant. Have a clean sweep of the entire Football Department.

    Give Alistair Clarkson a 5 year contract with free reign to do what he needs to do at the club.

    We need to start from scratch and build back everything at the club from the ground up.

    I really like this thread. 
     

    My choice in order

    Clarkson 

    R Lyon

    M Williams 

    I would be happy with any of the above. Just not [censored] goody.

    No matter the money, Goodwin has shown he cannot cut it with some of the best young players in the league.  He is shown up by a coach of15 games when finals on the line.

    He has to go now, the club placed all their faith in him and dragged the supporters along.  
     

    to lose two games in a row when everything is at stake is an appalling failure. The playing group are not buying in, otherwise it would be different.

    I would go for the best tried and tested coach available.  Clear out Mahoney and Pert as well.

    the Club is the leagues worst performing team over 50 years and is toxic.  
     

    Roos and Jackson have us hope, Pert and Goodwin have ripped all hope away.  A total disaster after the Roos era.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
