    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.

    • TRAINING: Friday 14th November 2025

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.
