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. 

Captain-coach? Old school. ?

    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.

    We are hopeless. I could have sworn we did this 6 years ago.

    If everyone is happy with someone who would be better than Goodwin then I suggest we get a possum with developmental issues.

    It would cost us nothing and whilst its decisions may sometimes confuse us, I believe it would be a step forward.

    I have to continually remind myself that Troy Chaplin is part of our coaching staff.

    Alan Richardson  with a second stint at coaching could be a nice fit for us. He won't take any crap. He is well respected  and will bring in a new game plan and pick up some skillful players along the way that can kick.

    Maybe a straight swap Clarkson to Melbourne Goodwin to Hawthorn. There was an example years ago when Walls and Parkin swapped clubs.

    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.

    Listen Mr  know it all the God won't help you. do you know him ?    Explain yourself, What do you mean with  your remark?

    Don't you like  Richo?    Did l  remark about your opinion?    DERRRRR!

    Clarkson is the dream, but realistically I think Ross would be a very smart choice. Twice he has gone to underachieving clubs and immediately shot them up to premiership contenders. Our young midfield will be around for some time, but the likes of Gawn and May don't have forever. We can't hire a new coach and wait multiple years to become contenders. We need someone who can maximise this current group now.

    Ross would be better than Goodwin is a fact. He has football coaching intelligence and can get the most out of a group of players. We have talent but no cohesion, system or standards required

    (Reasonably realistic) wish list...

    Head Coach (3-4 years) - Ross Lyon
    Forward Coach/Successor - Adem Yze
    Midfield Coach - Dean Solomon
    Backline Coach - Luke Hodge
    Ruck/Stoppages - Ben Mathews
    Part Time Goal Kicking Coach - Brad Green
    Head Of Development - Mark Williams
    Development Coach - Jordan Lewis
    Director Of Football - Alan Richardson

    Why Lyon? He walked out on St Kilda, whose culture was questionable at the time, went to Freo without St Kilda knowing, and had some issues of a personal nature at Freo as well, I recall. He is somewhat tainted. Too much baggage.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
