    Not much to the article just stating that it’s finals or bust for the off field team. All football department positions are under review including Richardson/Mahoney. No comment on if Goodwin is under review but you would assume so. Click bait on the Brayshaw/Viney comment

    Just to clarify, the article said coaching and fitness and named several people but Mahoney wasn't one of them.  That isn't to say his position isn't being reviewed.

    I thought it was good to get some insight into likely players to be contracted.

    The review probably explains why Burgess hasn't been recontracted yet - my guess he would take up a sizeable portion of the soft cap.

    Any idea if it's an internal or external review? And which players were mentioned?

    It didn't say.

    Simeon Thomas-Wilson (don't know who that is) did a complete list analysis.  Too long to repeat but if there is anyone that interests you I can pick that out.

    Edit: thought it easier to pm to you - it should be in your inbox.

    You’re right it did say that they are “assessing all senior positions including the coaching staff and fitness department.” Would have thought Mahoney fell under that umbrella.

    Tehnically Mahoney doesn't fall in one of those departments as he is the boss of coaching and fitness (and other departments)

    Will be bitterly disappointed if Mahoney's position isn't reviewed.

    If anyone needs the article sent just get in touch via PM and i'll copy it across for you.

    As for the article itself, this comes as no surprise and is a welcome development to kick off our off-season.  You would expect a few of those guys not to be with the club when our pre-season kicks off later in the year.

    nothing concrete in that story at all

    the general vibe around the trips seems to be mahoney, plapp, and probably matthews go, with richardson moving into mahoney's role

    i've not heard anything re chaplin and, quite frankly, our defence was strong this year so i'd be hesitant to shake things up enormously back there

    no idea re who they're looking at replacements in the coaching ranks

    Well nothing can be concrete at this stage until the review is done.

    The one positive is that the review is taking place, as it should.

    Hopefully that means a complete review of every individual with no free passes. Hope  Pert has someone more qualified helping him. He doesn’t have the background to access decision making of a lot of those positions. 
    I wouldn’t have thought it had started now but is in the final stages. Not having 1on1s with the players would be a wasted process.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
