    Nice one Chappy! No idea how they assess input of assistant coaches for an award like this but he's obviously done something right.

    Wasn't a fan of his in the early days but clearly he's developed into an excellent line coach.

    Will probably be in the frame for a senior coach in the coming years.

    It's voted on by all the AFL coaches (head coach & assistants).

    I think they might be a little more diligent than when the players vote their awards.

    2nd year in a row least scored against.

    Also our defensive structure and full ground ‘web’ has been 4 years in the making according to Gawn (interview last year) and driven by Chaplin.

    Worthy winner. I wonder if we should shuffle people around.

    I don’t believe that just because he is a former defender that he can’t take over the forward line. The new coach of GWS, a former back pocket, coached Riewoldt at St K and Nick is adamant he was the best forwards coach he ever had.

    Well at least it isn’t the umpires - “can’t find the possession numbers - what do we do now”?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
