Now with Eddie resigning from CEO, one G Lyon will lose some of his coverage, lets have two head coaches Lyon and Voss and get a past coach to be part time mentoring type role. Super star legend Ronald Dale comes to mind.

we re soft enough as it is without getting G Lyon involved!

    Love the Rev and if we are gonna give him the boot I do not want some jumped up ex player that that thinks cos they were brilliant on the field they can coach. If we are going to make the biggest mistake of our lives lets at least get someone with coaching experience and no not Blighty.

    We must not let the opportunity to have a bloke like Voss on our side pass. He is a completely different character from Tim Watson , so I don't think Tim's failure as a coach should preclude us from taking him on without assistant experience(besides, who else has had much success with the Saints since Jeans?).Did Roos or Laidley have much of a gap between playing and coaching? How long was it with Matthews?

    Remember the rush of senior coaching offers Balmey received when we sacked him? It'll be interesting to see how highly sought-after Neale will be if we let him go when his contract expires.

    Who wouldnt want him? Our ridicolous loss is the other 15 clubs gain

    Laidley was assistant at Collingwood for a few years. I would employ a director of Football to be a mentor to Voss as a coach, someone part time with past history of sucessful coaching, someone with experince but no passion to coach. Maybe Ron, the living legend can come back.

    Voss preparing for coaching

    Caroline Wilson | May 17, 2007

    Outstanding credentials - MFC lets move before he is snapped up.

    Has anyone got any idea if The great Norm Smith went from playing straight into coaching?

    I know the game has advanced plenty in 50 years but if the blue print has worked before?

    Vossy has just got that glow of success about him.

    Lets Roll the dice

    I'd consider Brett Ratten if he's available, and take on Voss as an assistant. More likely we'll probably end up with Mark Williams (not Chocko) the other one that coaches our two's.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
