Who Will Be Our Next Coach?

I would prefer a young upcoming assistant, who can prepare the next iteration of the Dees. We cant just copy other teams strategy, need to be inventive.

    I would suspect the next candidate has likely been identified, though of course there will be due diligence. I suspect the timing of this is to make an immediate move and get the new coach in ASAP in order to assist with delisting's, trade, free agency and the like. It will be telling if McVee's signature is announced in light of this.

    Hayden Skipworth is highly regarded at the Pies?

    Voss !

    Kenny - no real success

    Simmo - the reason why WCE are uncompetitive

    Horse - won a GF with COLA, smashed in subsequent GF's with Academy Players

    Voss - probably should have offered to swap coaches for 2026 and see what happens

    I'd look at something along the lines of Cam Bruce with Simmo or Horse as Football Manager.

    I think we will go for a proven coach over a new one.

    Why do you think that?

    It's not like re-cycled coaches are particularly successful. If my history is correct the last re-cycled coach who didn't coach a premiership team who subsequently did at his second try was Malcolm Blight at Adelaide. Re-cycling premiership winning coaches hasn't been a complete failure (Malthouse, Matthews), but plenty fail second time around.

    Exactly. Bruce’s history includes Hawthorn under Clarkson and Lions under Fagan as well as Blues under Bolton so he has seen both sides of the role.

    Enright I don’t know much about beyond pñaying history but he knows strong culture.

    I would prefer a younger coach. People pushing Buckley and Simpson chills me.

    I'd love Bruce back at the club, even as an assistant

    Not just because of the Melbourne connection, but he's genuinely built a very impressive coaching CV. He was a senior assistant at Hawthorn during their three-peat and has been Brisbane's midfield coach for the last 4-5 seasons.

    If people don’t think Horse or Simmo are a good option then they are kidding themselves.

    Horse has taken himself to the knackery.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
