FWIW . . . I have no idea if Cameron can coach or not. I do know this first hand though. There's been deep discontent within the playing group about the money some players are being paid relevant to their footy output. Or said another way, their highest paid players are not necessarily pulling their weight nor rowing in the same direction. There have been many peculiar management decisions at GWS. And as far as I know,  the most dysfunctional decisions didn't have Cameron's blessing. The organisation escapes deep scrutiny in Victoria because they are off-broadway. 

If true it smacks of bigger issues.  They need better list management for a start.

A super coach can't fix those issues. But AFL will go with a big name for pure marketing reasons .

My fear is that after reading the list of possible candidates in todays Age, and excluding Clarkson who ruled himself out last night (IMO) unless he speaks with forked tounge, that Adem Yze would be best choice from that list , huge CV with us, years under Clarkson, etc.

He must stay with us.  If not good luck to him though. he deserves a spot as a senior coach.

Oh man, I love this!!

I love how the model is about social impact, rather than profit.
 

It's outstanding, and astounding.

You just know Sheeds will be in their ear to give the Golden Boy another chance. It's right up his sentimental avenue for HIrd to be rehabilitated. Plus, with GWS being a fairly small fish, the decision could fly under the radar to a much greater extent than if it happened in an AFL state.

That said, while he would be attracted to the sentimentality, most of the football world would be repulsed, shocked or angered (and rightfully so).

Is it just a coincidence that in the very year Hird goes to GWS, the team seriously underperforms and the coach resigns mid season?

No source EO . . . just hypothesising. Let's say Oooooz lands the Greater Waste of Resources job, we need a replacement. I'd certainly be ringing Cameron.

No thanks. Doesn't suit our culture IMO. Too much old school ra ra ra and anger. That's no small part why he's done at GWS.

Wouldn't mind Nathan Buckley getting a phone call IF Yze gets a senior gig, just listening to his speak i reckon he'd be a great asset in Yze's role

Have to wash my mouth out, but he's won me over a fair bit since becoming a full time media commentator.

If anyone watched the Amazon Series "making their mark" Leon Cameron came out of that looking like a fairly man manager to be honest.  I'm not surprised the giants haven't done better.

Could we get his head through the door.  Bucks might struggle not being head banana.

Remember Barass and Jordan both trying to coach from the bench?

Doesn't look like Bucks will be anywhere next year (although never say never of course).

Well someone’s got to, because the non-Essendon public think the guy still stinks of drugs, medical ambivalence and denial.

Yeah Hird as Coach with Bomber Thompson as his assistant. Dean Thompson to be performance Coach and last but not least - Stephen Dank as their Sports scientist .

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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.
