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!

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
