No, that sounds more like mum

Nigel Lappin should be our next coach

Sure, our midfield needs all the help it can get.

If Jeffo comes good this year I'd vote for @picket fence as our coach - or at least as Chairman of Selectors.

Apparently Adrian Hickmott is highly rated as an assistant coach.

So he is another name put onto the potential list.

Brett Ratten anyone?

Unceremoniously dumpled by Carlton and Saints before he had a chance to deliver on what he was building. Sat in for Clarkson when he took LOA.

Currently Head of Coaching Performance & Development  at Hawthorn.

Certainly worth considering.

Would be an awesome midfield Coach as he was in 2004-05

I'm definitely interested in Bruce. Came to the Lions as a midfield coach after they'd bungled their third finals series in a row, said in an interview when he joined his major focus would be their running patterns. That year they make a prelim from 6th, the following year the make the Grand Final, then last year they win the flag. This year they are top of the ladder, undefeated after 5 games.

I remember watching the lions during 2023 thinking about how easily they seemd to be able to move the ball, always seemed to have players in space. Hope we interview him.

I personally thought the Lions should have won in 2023 if not for some dubious umpiring decisions.

I’d enjoy seeing Buckley. Unpopular opinion.

Goodwin and Tim Lamb have completely butchered our list management.

Fancy offering a cooked Viney a contract extension all because Norf bluffed us.

Completely disheartened with this footy club.

Agreed ever shouldn’t have given him another contract but what did North do?

It’s irrelevant what North did, we should have held the line. He was contracted anyway.

Doesn’t bode well for the players intelligence if this is the stuff they are not doing.

I just don’t know what they did and am curious.

Lmao, this “5 minute” logic your are applying is akin to those who spew and attack certain journalists about having not played the game at the highest level, so their opinion is instantly invalid? Ironically, those types of fans haven’t played either.

Just because you haven’t played the game at a high level does not mean you can’t form an opinion.

Same logic applies here. I am confused.. is this a forum run by the global World Economic Forum elites, or is this is an open, public fan forum? 

You were once a new user yourself, so in essence, you are also nothing in the grand scheme of things. 

Honestly ..I haven’t bothered coming on to the forum for awhile ( I become more depressed) & when you read posts like yours I have to seriously wonder if you actually support the club ? Don’t use language which you may think is clever ., we support a club .. not going well at the moment .. it’s not that hard. Football is not a reality tv show .. it’s just a game. I hate that we “turn on our own”. Bottom line ..we are all disappointed in different ways.

The "hot spot" is just basically the top of the goal square.

I think we were all taught to kick there if you couldn't find a player on the lead. At least I was taught that playing footy.

The top of the goal square or "hot spot" is almost always the best place to kick it, especially if you kick it in there quick.

Football is a very simple game.

I am impressed with John Longmire explaining it though. Would love to see him as the next coach of the Melbourne Football Club.

Listening to Longmire he’s a nonsense yes his got baggage of 5 gf loses but the way he spoke on the front bar about the number 1 thing in a club is Trust! He’s strong culture building at the swans, I think he will be ready to coach in 26.

Premiership coaches at a second or third club invariably fail. Can only think of Mathews being successful.

Often a successful coach will generate a lot of assistants coaches who then become good coaches - so with this in mind

Who's rhe assistants at Geelong and Brisbane?

Love Nathan Jones, but he doesn't look like the answer as midfield coach. At least not yet.

Seems so easy! And yet..

If we go away from Goody, I'd go with Cam Bruce and Justin Leppitsch as the senior assistant. But what would I know?
