    Hearing that Gawn is going to be captain, coach and CEO (he can’t start in that role for six months though)

    Hopefully we appoint a GM FD before committing to the coach.

    A coach would want to know who his boss will be and that their ideas on game plan, list etc are aligned.

    Lets not put the cart before the horse and get the coach first!

    Ideally the GM FD is onboard in time to finalise the coach.

    Caro seems to think that Adam Simpson is the favourite to take on that role.

    Think that role suits him perfectly well.

    I just want someone "anyone" who will make the players accountable on the field. No more learnings or Momentum etc.

    And someone who has contingency moves ready from selectionday and the gonads to make them the moment momentum changes.

    Bring back Roos and PJ to oversee FD recruitment process over the coming weeks and month's.

    I am betting on Cam Bruce..

    He and Brad Green would have a special relationship as they played together for many years.

    A Demon at heart..

    Well schooled at Hawthorn and Brisbane, fresh and new

    Get the longer odds before they tighten!!!

    West Coast traded and drafted their list in to oblivion so that would be a bold call.

    You’d think Adrian Hickmott would be the odds on favourite if Simmo took the GM job.

    Must give a ring to Cam Bruce and Corey Enright IMO

    Agreed and they will bring in their own people i hope.

    You would think the club does a deep cleanse of the Footy Dept, Richo, Chocco i.e assistance coaches, medical dept i.e Selwyn, list manager i.e Lamby etc.

    Fitness at the top of the tree along with ball movement, trading/attracting talent and coach with enough back bone that is strong enough to take back control of elite fitness programs.

    The talk here in the West is that Simmo who is moving back to Victoria is looking to extend his coaching career. The West Australian which has a close relationship with Simmo stated in a headline from a coupe of weeks ago that he is moving to “Melbourne” not “Victoria” is very suggestive. Why move back without a serious job offer if so? Where could it be, Norf, Carlton or us?

    At that point before the Saints disaster I reckon it would have been Carlton.

    Sadly I think the top trio will be replaced.

    In the future can we get someone who can improve the forward half's goal kicking skills.

    I really hope that we don't get Simpson. Given that West Coast are a far bigger and much more resourceful club than it us it says a lot that that they ended up becoming Melbourne 2013 levels of bad under his watch. They don't look like getting back on the up anytime soon either.

    The optics of this..?

    Whoever it is, they MUST have to come from a successful program ie; Geelong, Brisbane, Hawthorn etc, even a massively successful 2nd tier comp we still have both Alan Richardson and Mark Williams in the background. Steven King is a highly regarded person and coach from all reports.

    I dont like the idea of Buckley, Simmo or horse, their time has come and gone. A fresh voice and hunger to succeed.

    I'd love to see Brendan McCartney back at the club, great person, great with the young fellas and has a great no [censored] policy.

    • 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.

      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.
