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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
