    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 & DevelopmentĀ  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.

    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 shouldnā€™t have given him another contract but what did North do?

    Itā€™s irrelevant what North did, we should have held the line. He was contracted anyway.

    Exactly.

    Doesnā€™t bode well for the players intelligence if this is the stuff they are not doing.

    I just donā€™t know what they did and am curious.

    Lmao, this ā€œ5 minuteā€ 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 havenā€™t played either.

    Just because you havenā€™t played the game at a high level does not mean you canā€™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?Ā 

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

    Honestly ..I havenā€™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 ? Donā€™t use language which you may think is clever ., we support a club .. not going well at the moment .. itā€™s not that hard. Football is not a reality tv show .. itā€™s just a game. I hate that we ā€œturn on our ownā€. 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 heā€™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! Heā€™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.

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

    • 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 Deearmyā€™s inclusive bannerā€”"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 Collingwoodā€™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.Ā

    • 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 forecastā€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze ā€” 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 Kateā€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodā€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
