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. 

 

Someone with a no holds barred attitude, supported by an experienced elder statesmen with both people and fitness skills.

Mark Neeld, and Neil Craig. Obviously.


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

Troy Chaplin ffs.

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.

oh my god.....

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.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

  • 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.
