Do we get him in as an assistant coach in 2025?

Depends, will it help or hinder a potential pursuit of Harley Reid in two years?

    “OMG! He’s done it again!” “How does he know so much?” “Who’s his contact, I wonder…” “Handsome and amazing” “He really is the #tradewhisperer”

    Ok ok.. calm down. Not one to blow my own trumpet, peoples.

    After his weekend presser I'm not surprised. My guess would be Don Pyke is next in line.

    open season on meth coke players now, or does this actually make it less likely that they'll leave?

    middle aged blokes i'd be keen to have a chat with:

    • tom barrass
    • jake waterman
    • liam ryan
    • jack petruccelle (vic lad)
    • alex witherden  (vic lad)

    young'ns:

    • harley reid (vic lad)
    • rueben ginbey
    • campbell chesser
    • jack williams

    a lot of their players are wa born-and-bred - given our sheer number of wa lads, they might feel right at home with us, weather aside

    he's the ceo, so he's going to be appointing the next coach, not taking the job

    Time to start putting some respect on Simon “Oppo coach career-ender” Goodwin

    I'm all for getting ex-head coached as assistant coaches.

    Dew, Sanderson, Simpson would all be good people to have in the coaching staff.

    Suspect Simpson will be a head coach elsewhere though.

    Isn't he CEO? I'd think Dean Cox

    Before the meat market begins, I'd just like to pay tribute to Simmo.

    10 years coaching in the west with a flag to his name. Like Goodwin, a philosophy based coach who doesn't like to swing the magnets around on gameday but believed in his system. I don't know what the overall feeling was among the fan base but the few WC members I know very well were right behind him until the very end.

    He was up for the rebuild and seemed to do the best he could and up until recently it looked they believed in him. Don't know what happened behind the scenes but a good coach has lost his job and that's never nice. All the best Simmo.

    Lets not forget he coached the Eagles to a flag against the pies by under goal. Glorious day. We all should love him a bit

    depends on who was sending texts to whom...

    Most of my dodgy messages seem to come from Linkt or Medicare offices. They seem to originate somewhere near Bangalore. So I think WC should start their search there.

    Nah. He just goes around kicking them in the leg. Just as bad as Darcy Moore.

    Unless he’s headhunted by the AFL for a certain area they have been having trouble getting to grips with? 
    I think the kids are pretty well grown up so he should be able to re-locate.
    Might have to leave his dozen Hungry Jack’s franchises with a management trust for awhile.

    Rich clubs like the Eagles can afford the million dollar soft cap hit.

    I think Port would like their time again but I'm not sure they have the money to pay Hinkley out.

    Questions could be asked at the end of 2025 if Dimma doesn't get the Suns a finals berth.

    Beveridge.... who knows

    Quite an unsettling time in coaching land

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
