    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.

    Must give a ring to Cam Bruce and Corey Enright IMO

    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.

    What about Bucks if he wanted to coach?

    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.

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

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
