Surely the club could have named someone by now. They would have known ooze would depart when hardware resigned.

Unless we are being discrete because we are aiming to bring in someone from one of the Grand Final teams.

Obviously Leppitsch from Collingwood would be a premium (premier?) acquisition.

Cameron Bruce, midfield and stoppages at Brisbane, would also seem likely to be on the radar.

 

Separately, there might be a case to target Collingwood's head of performance, Jarrod Wade. Not only has he got the team playing out games superbly, but with NINE players aged 30 or over, he's had almost all of them play the full season.

Sidebottom hurt a knee medial, Howe broke an arm, and Mason Cox had a recto-cranial impaction.

So of nine players over 30, only Sidebottom's injury could even be partially considered conditioning related, and they've all been playing good, mobile football.

Yes but the Tigers passed on him as their future head coach so he might have his limitations

And there are quite a few head coaches that are on the boundary now so we may be looking at all the chief assistants that are upstairs

So how many head coaches are boundary-side now? 

How many roles did Yze miss out on prior to this?

Don't know but Robert Harvey might have set the record for interviews

In terms of walking into the cushiest coaching job, Chris Scott would have to be in front of the rest

Craig McRae inherited a good list too.  And Roos set things up in a reasonably good way for Goodwin

Going right back, Big Nick taking over from Barassi?

I reckon Dimma at the Suns will be fruitful

and don't forget percy jones 😵


Mason Cox had a recto-cranial impaction.

I thought he had his head up his rectum!

Sanderson- Strategy

McQualter - head assistant

What about McQualter as head assistant and Cotchin as midfields coach ?

 

I would promote either Chaplin or Williams as the senior assistant and bring in a junior coach along with another development coach.If not Bassett or Blakey would do me fine.


Not a like for like but geez I’d love to have nev Jetta back at the club 

Not enough love here for our own Mick Stinnear. He definitely deserves a shot as an assistant with the boys. Incredible what he's done with the girls team

After Saturdays win I would throw the kitchen sink at Leppitch he was responsible for the set ups Saturday as stated by McRae and add  the promise he would become our next Senior coach  it seems the Richmond style is successful look at GWS and Collingwood also lure Neville Jetta back

Leppitch is definitely someone who I think would be a heap better in his second shot at head coaching. 

Either one of McQualter or Stinnear would be a great appointment.

Well, McQualter has just left Richmond to go to another club…


James Harmes at the TAB Spring Fling says new Tigers coach Adem Yze is all about offence, taking the ball through the corridor. Says Simon Goodwin even had to hold him back at times.
 

Yze needed to push this more !! Dees went too wide and too slow during most games. Hopefully the replacement can convince Goodwin how to best attack into forward 50 !!!

Interesting if true

We did this a lot during pre-season. After about 6 or 7 rounds we went back to our old ways with Goodwin (presumably) not happy with how we can defend a turnover in the corridor.

We became tired old melbourne, kick to the left, down the line, force a stoppage, kick a point.

CHanges are needed. And its not just the Assistant by the sounds of things.

 

Goodwin still thinks it's 2017 and that we can't defend.

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
