Hasn't he been forward line coach ??

make sure he takes that of the resume before applying !!!

I was having a small joke. He is coaching the last three games

 

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

I'd interview him 😉 😆

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.

    Paul Roos told Bob Murphy this morning on ABC it should be John Longmire

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

    Yep.

    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.

    Reckon the AFL will have moved them to Hobart pretty soon

    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
