Agreed, Mick has a long commitment to our AFLW team, from day one.  He lives in the country but loves our AFLW team so much that he regularly commutes 2 or so hours each way.  Since our whole AFLW has remained intact, I doubt he'd suddenly go to our AFLM team (even though his expertise would be very welcome).

I get why people are saying this but it would be a disservice to our women!

I agree about the disservice robbing the women's team to straighten out the men.
I love the way our Women's team is going, they are playing wonderful connected, attacking fluid footy.

He could potentially straddle both teams in some capacity. Maybe I'm being naive but in reality, he can still coach the women's team through to a flag this year and then flip to assist the men's team to some extent for next. Team Culture? Game Day strategy and selection?

Ben Brown seems to be much loved and involved with the women's team, he could help with the load more if he's retiring from AFL.

Mick seems to be so good at swinging the changes quicky and responsively during games. I watched Ellie Blackburn dominate for the dogs last week and after trying Heath with a tag, he had Paxman on to her and they managed to nullify her in the second half to run away with it.
The week before, once we had the game in the bag against the giants, he had Tahlia Gillard in the forward line for most of the last quarter just to mix it up and try things out.

I think our boys would be really flat after the finals, their confidence shaken.
If you watch that brilliant little 15 minute doco from last years AFLW flag, they all realised from previous years, they'd actually been trying too hard!
I can see that in the men's team in some ways. I think if you're pushing too hard, you start to play more selfishly rather than with freedom and trust in your team mates. Our men admitted that that was the difference in 2021, playing for each other and trust in each other.
The drama / improv classes was a great idea by Mick too. 

After losing Daisy, I'd hate to see Mick walk away for a bigger better challenge at another club. Maybe he's up for working with both teams?
We're one club and we should be leveraging techniques, resources, intitiatives across all 3 teams as much as we can. 

I think we're mad if we don't use Stinnear more across the club.

Adem Yze has been appointed HC of RFC, been nice having OOZE back in the fold.. as matchday coach it’s gonna be interesting as to whom we get in to replace him! Nathan Buckley sitting in on interview is an interesting sidenote. Meant to reply to current thread  or start new one but I’m sure that’ll get sorted.

Ooze will definitely be missed, but we obviously already had contingencies — Chaplin to matchday role is most likely. 


Dew would be my pick.. plus I love the irony of it — some interesting names being bandied about that’s for sure but Chaplin seems like the guy, big hole to fill either way, Could be a good thing to get some new blood but what is everyone else thinking?

I’m still numb TBH, but here’s hoping a left field acquisition into fwd line or coaching ranks can bring us back from the depths of despair!!!

Great career move for him.  Well done Ooze and good luck at the Tiges, except against us!

Thanks for helping to crack our first silverware for some time!

And we could use a shake up in our coaching department especially in the midfield

Best of luck to Yze! He’ll always be a demon.
Been trying for years to take the next step and now he’s senior coach of one of the biggest clubs in the land. Now we’ll need a new midfield coach. Timing is right for both him and us.

I'm happy for Ooze but not emotionally ready for this picture 😂😭

Agree but at least it's not an Essendon one.

Well done to Adem. He's certainly done his apprenticeship

Great news for him and well deserved. He’s served a long apprenticeship under some great coaches and has been involved in multiple flags. Wishing him all the very best!

    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.

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.
