I don’t get the Leppa one. Hasn’t he stated he is done with football and pursuing other interests. 

But that’s what I said. If, he stays in football, the Dees are a real chance.  He might not get the opportunities outside of football in this COVID stuffed world.  
 

Let’s not underestimate that the Dees are now the great and enticing challenge of the AFL.

    Heard the same, although I was told Leppitsch is a very good chance. Your intel seems even more feasible though given Leppitsch said he was walking away from footy.

    Yze will come on board as senior assistant, contract details being finalized, done in the next week or two. You couldn't pick better strengths from a coaching point of view for our needs.

    There's a feeling that Richardson may take over Mahoney's role, but a few things have to fall into place for that. I think it relies a bit on the review and then potentially also what Leppitsch decides, although that's all speculative at this point given the nature of this time of year.

    What exactly has Mahoney done wrong? Genuine question.

    Cannot understand the excitement here.

    Have a read of Older Demons excellent post which explains that this is mainly about cutting 3 odd million from the coaching and support staff budget.

    It could have the consequence of causing a bit of a merry go round which could bring Yze to us but that would not be its main aim.

    Really?  (Bolded part) Can't see in his cv what credentials/experience he has for the GM role. 

    I hope it isn't a case of:  'the GM position is vacant, Richo is surplus so lets put him in the job'!  I've seen it happen many times in organisations, it never ends well.

    I was told couple of weeks ago that the Club is in advanced discussions with Yze and are being listened to by Leppitsch. 
     

    My source said that Yze is very likely and if Leppitsch decides to continue in Footy, it will be with the Dees. 

    Thanks for sharing the info - this would be a great get, if it eventuates. 
     

    Ironically, I think it would be strengthened further if Goody took the third assistant coach role and someone like Roos came in at the top. I think Goodwin is a great line/assistant coach, especially given his rapport with the players. This is a different skill set to that of a head coach, but one which I (from the outside) think Goody is better suited for.

    This would be gorgeous.

    Yze as forward coach, Leppitsch as defensive coach and Michael Voss as midfield coach. I can dream.

    Dream on, Adam. 

    For me it is more of a nightmare:  3 failed first time coaches (Leppitsch, Richardson and Voss) working for a struggling, under pressure first time coach.  No thanks!

    I can understand the reticence towards Richardson and Voss, but Leppa has had plenty of success as an assistant coach after his time as a head coach.  He would be a very handy acquisition, although coaxing him out of this 'retirement' might be difficult.

    No problem with Voss or Leppa just not all 3 of them which is what AF was dreaming.

    We often see this....excellent assistant coaches who fail at the top job.  Justin Leppitsch is a classic example.

    I believe so.

     

    And, if they "promote" Richardson to Mahoney's job "The Peter Principle" phenomenon will again kick in.

    Hi, long time observer of your posts...

    Are there any redeeming qualities about this club you allegedly support?

    I am confident this deal will happen. Heard from a usually reliable source that Adem was super keen to join at the end of 2019 and we were chasing him hard. Hawthorn played hardball and refused to let him break the contract that was in place and there was an understanding that he’d join Melbourne at the end of 2020. It sounds like this is very close to happening now.

    Leppitsch would be a great get but I’m sure wouldn’t be cheap. Yze is highly rated and will have to be renumerated accordingly. Burgess would be on top dollar. Goodwin, Richo, Mahoney and the rest.

    Genuine question. How do we cut costs to fit under the cap and at the same time afford to pay all of the above?

    The cap is a soft cap so clubs can pay over they just have to pay a "penalty" tax

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
