Reckon there might be a spot opening up at Brisbane for next year. Can't see Kangas letting go of Clarko, unless its not their call. However Brisbane have less to lose if Fages steps down or is stood down. Depends upon the outcome of this Hawks investigation

Yze needs to be the next MFC Coach and a succession plan for him to take over in 2025 after Goodwin 8th season

Say it again?

Geez... a lot of posters on Land claiming scoops of late and getting them very wrong. All good for a bit of fun, can't be right all the time!

The only poster I’ve seen who’s gotten the scoops (almost) consistently correct is Goodwindees.

The way I see it Yze dodged a bullet.

@Chook in Perth was pretty good too.

Why would we do that? We have one of the best coaches in the game; proven to be able to win flags. He’s young. Probably the best players coach since Clarkson and we are going to just throw that away for an unproven Yze?

Unless Goodwin is done with it all, we will keep him till the end of the decade surely.

I think that really depends on how things go next year/next two years. Goodwin must review/change his methodology if he wants continued success, I think the over-structured gameplan can burn players out if its not refreshed every year or two.

No doubt but I also know that the game plan or at least the web and the defensive side of it is Chaplin’s. Goodwin is a players coach who will alter how the team plays as the assistants deem necessary. That’s why it’s perfectly fine him being on the bench; he is managing the players and their mindset, not the gameplan itself.

And it is with that I mind that I just think unless we miss finals 2 years in a row - with this kind of talent - Goodwin will continue to win enough to stay in the role for a long time. 

And for some to think that Yze should take over in the next 2/3 years - it’s just not based in reality.


I'm glad he said 'shattered' just to let them know messing around with someone's career isn't ok.

Ess never had any ethics.  Still don't!

Two of the best on here in my time.

I hope @Chook in Perth  is okay? Hasn't been logged on since November last year.

 

bonus prize for the first poster to find a bummers fan who actually approves of their new coach


Would be curious to know why Scott was picked ahead of Yze, clearly he is ready to step up to the role.

Not sure if serious? A lot of them (possibly bizarrely) seem rapt with him...

c'mon nev, don't be such a smartrrrs. you know it was tongue in cheek

i was inspired reading an essendon blog and the comments re the new coach. there was so much hate for the scott brothers going back to when they played against the bummers. many were saying they wouldn't renew their memberships etc. much worse than dazzle on game day threads.

Haha fair enough.

TBF looking for logic among Bombers fans can be a bit like being a FF for the Dees - Frustrating and confusing.

So much for being united!  How embarrassing for a Board member come out and say that especially now.

Oh well, looks like the undermining will continue.

They may not be so overjoyed for too long.

David King has highlighted that in the 10 years Scott was at North they did not finish in the top 4 in the H&S season.  They made the finals twice and reached the PF but lost both.

They got the most experienced coach available but doubt anyone can say he has a successful track record.

Yeah I love that the Brad Scott v David King rivalry is back and spicy as ever!

Lorraine at the bottom expects 16 wins plus 2 finals wins. Just for context Lorraine - 16 wins would have you top 2, so add the 2 finals wins and you’ll be in the grand final!

Oh Lorraine. May your heart be broken by May.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
