Pity warmongering mass murderers like Churchill kept repeating history.

Sore loser?

Dieter I do hope you take that as very tongue in cheek.

Glad to see Hawthorn embrace The Curse of Alistair Clarkson, but less glad to know that he will go to Carlton or Collingwood.

It'll be interesting to see which Carlton side turns up on the park tonight given this development.

Didn't want to start a new thread, but geez as bad as the Hawks are; at least they didn't sack their coach of 13 years halfway through someone else's press conference like Port Melbourne just did...

Far out.

I have a great deal of respect for Caro and have been for many years regardless of what people think of her.

There is a reason why she has good well connected sources within clubs. 

Yep its a disgusting industry to see how she was treated. It wasnt the first time either. The media need to take a long hard look at themselves because substitute Caro with Eddie, Whately, Robbo, Hutchy etc....no one would have come down that hard on any of the boys.

I wondered about this. It's not as young as it might first seem. Clarkson was 37 when he started; Hardwick was 38. Going back a bit further, Sheedy was 34, Matthews 34 and Barassi (as playing coach) was 29. 

Edit: Clarkson is now only 53. Clearly young enough to take on another senior coaching job if he wants.

Interesting. Clarko was out of the game for 8 years and Hardwick 6 though. I thought clubs had pivoted away from taking on young coaches fresh out of the game like Mitchell 4 years back, and wanted extensive 5-10+ year apprenticeships, given what we've seen with Voss.

Blues v Saints seems like an audition for who Clarko might want to coach.
Two decent lists crying out for a quality coach, having had poor seasons

where was this respect when they got smashed by Freo in Tassie or beaten by the crows at Marvel in the last 3 weeks?

zero excuses, a shameful performance by us to draw that game.  

Two years in a row we've ruined our chances. 

I'd be very surprised if we have any success in September.

Clarkson would be fantastic for us. I reckon we've got the best list in the league. But yeah nah it's not going to happen.

Watching the pre game fox footy show tonight and a quote from Gary Lyon in reference to the events today:

”I love the Hawthorn footy club. No I seriously do”

Interesting thing to say from Mr Melbourne himself.

The next 2 months will provide an indication on whether Goodwin is an ordinary to good coach or a fantastic coach that is on the brink of achieving greatness for this club. 
 

If it’s looking like the former over the next 4 game, then we’ve got a bit of work to do and there’s someone fantastic available to steer a talented list to the promise land.

Honestly forgot that his Dad played for the Hawks.

Just assumed he was a casual Hawks fan growing up like the Ox was.

Still raised an eyebrow for someone who is so publicly a Melbourne man.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
