We have apparently spoken to McQ. I assume they have also reached out to Dew.

I reckon either would be good

    I reckon McQualter had quite a bit to do with Richmonds success and would be an asset.

    I didn't realise McQaulter had spent 10 years at Richmond..

    I'm sold.

    There's the odd outlier, I know, but I presume most of us want Goodwin, Williams and Richardson, at least, to stay 'happy in the service'.

    So, which of the names put forward so far in this thread do you think would provide the best chemistry (while of course also providing the best input)?

    For mine, I suspect it would be someone 'coming through', not an ego.

    What did Yze do? Was he the strategist as well as the ingame "coach". If so we need more than a midfield coach.

    Chris Newman is moving from Hawthorn to Richmond as Assistant Coach, that probably confirms McQualter is on the move.

    Any news on Stafford on the move? Been with us for 10 years and it’s probably time we have fresh eyes.

    I don't know this space very well but Caracella was supposed to have good wraps on him. Has spent time at Geelong, Richmond and now Essendon.

    The only time our backs looked flakey is when our mids allowed the opposition to just waltz it through the HB and midfield into our defence.

    Our backline is the least of our concerns

    A little surprised. As I thought Brett Ratten was cooked.

    I guess Sam Mitchell convinced him to return back to Hawthorn in a different role.

    Apparently Gavin Brown and John Blakey have departed North Melbourne. Would the Demons be interested in either of those two?

    Out of the (playing) game for too long?  Would prefer someone who finished up in the last 10-15 years max.

    Goes against everything i have said for ten years, but i would look hard at Hird.

    McVeigh as well should be a contender.

    It's an interesting suggestion for a couple of reasons:

    1. Goodwin was an assistant when Hird was senior coach. Could they work together with the roles reversed?
    2. As a player, Hird had a skill few players have had of knowing what he was going to do with the ball before he even got it. And then he executed perfectly most of the time. But just because a player has this skill can they coach it into others?

    Hird is a full time Fund Manager now....

    This suggests to me that Goody is aware of his tactical match day short comings ...

    There are any number of reasons why Goodwin (like an increasing number of AFL coaches) would prefer to be down at ground level/with the players.

    I rate Blakey highly, spent a lot of time and as a senior assistant at the Swans. Would be a great option.

    .... and help us bring in the Lizard!!! (for Grundy! haha) :D

    What about TMac and BB taking on a combined coaching role as they transition out of playing. BB is perhaps coaching the AFLW forwards already?

    Blakey has a good reputation and did great work as an assistant at the Swans for years. Could be a good option.

    I think Nick Blakey would be an incredibly fantastic trade for Brodie Grundy and an excellent replacement for Michael Hibberd. However, I cannot see the Swans letting him go though! More likely to hopefully snaffle the Swan's first draft pick this year in number #11!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
