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.

    That'd actually be a good question for SirSwamp...

    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

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
