    Reposting this as it's relevant again.

    Here are the forward coaches at every club. Spot the "actual" forwards.

    Adelaide - Scott Burns
    Brisbane - Murray Davis
    Carlton - Jordan Russell
    Collingwood - Justin Leppitsch
    Essendon - Dale Tapping
    Fremantle - Jaymie Graham
    Geelong - James Rahilly
    Gold Coast - Brad Miller
    GWS - Jeremy Laidler
    Hawthorn - Adrian Hickmott
    North Melbourne - Xavier Clarke
    Port Adelaide - Chad Cornes
    Richmond - Kane Lambert
    St Kilda - Robert Harvey
    Sydney - Jarrad McVeigh
    West Coast - Matthew Knights
    Western Bulldogs - Matt Spangher 

    Greg Stafford did have some forward line ability. He did kick 141 goals in 205 games.

    He's 716th most goals in the history of the game. It's a nonsense argument that he can't be a good forwards coach.

    It's highly unlikely whoever we get to replace him would've kicked more goals and there's not going to be anyone who has played as a tall forward, a medium forward, a small goal kicker and a high half forward flanker. Playing experience is largely irrelevant.

    TOM HAWKINS would be a great start!

    I’d prefer they lure Brad Green across from wherever he is currently employed (Pies?).

    It's impossible to measure the impact of assistant coaches. But I feel that Goodwin needs some fresh ideas around him.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was a club decision to part with Stafford, but gave him a dignified exit by saying it was his decision to leave.

    i wonder who else we could get in.. all for getting ex-demons back into the fold. so long as they are keen to be progressive and have gained experience from other clubs in the AFL system.

    Thanks for all your efforts over the years Staf, through the good times and the bad you left an almighty imprint on the club and culture.

    To be a fly around that camp fire at your joint at the start of 21 would have been an unreal experience, creating long lasting bonds that would cement our 13th🏆 premiership.

    Safe travels to your next destination.

    Thankyou for your comments, as a supporter, I hate seeing all these other negative comments in this thread. Heck the man gave exceptional service at a time when it was needed back in 2014

    Huh? Brad Green is the managing director of a fire safety company and is on the MFC board.

    Yeah I'm with you.

    Personal opinions can be kept aside for a minute, the guy obviously gave us great effort and had very good rapport with the guys.

    Ok, I got it wrong (I obviously haven’t done my research)… glad you get a kick out of ridiculing me for it. Give yourself a pat on the back.

    I'm sad that we won't have his ruck knowledge anymore, but as a forward line coach he was a total failure.  Hopefully now we'll get someone who understands leading patterns and creating space for each other.

    as a forward coach he cobbled together a premiership forward 6 from the backline and the scrap heap

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
