It is barely 48 hours since the decision to replace SG was made. I seriously doubt there is even a group formed. It would have to contain the new CEO though what he knows about AFL coaches is debatable.

The group has indeed been formed. It includes Alan Richardson

    Has the 'Save Judd McVee' committee been formed?

    John Sitton

    John Longmire very cagey on 360.

    Didn't exactly shut the door, but definitely left it open..

    That's my take anyhow.

    How did he sound compared to Bucks this morning?

    Bucks definitely have me the impression he’d be strongly interested in the position, albeit that he’d have to weigh coaching against his cushy media gig

     

    John Longmire gets the job if he wants it.

    But, Nathan Buckley is probably 2nd or 3rd choice.

    Will be interesting what Adam Simpson says too....

    Three early options being discussed

    1. Nathan Buckley as head coach,

    Jimmy Bartel as GM of football.

    2. Corey Enright head coach,

    Ken Hinkley as GM of football.

    3. Cameron Bruce as head coach,

    Adam Simpson as GM of football.

    What we need is a new younger coach with 2025 experience who believes he can take us back into the top 4 in the next couple of years.

    I don't think top four in two years is realistic. We have a lot of problems and it's unlikely they can be fixed that quickly particularly considering players like Gawn, May and Melksham are close to the end.

    The only benefit of Buckley expressing some interest is that other coaches will know there is some competition and can't fluff us around and over price themselves.

    Otherwise he is still too robotic and doesn't have it in his DNA to build natural connections with players.

    Simpson or Longmire for mine

    I'm not so sure he is that keen, all I got from his comments was that he was loving getting paid ****eloads for doing g not much in the media atm. Of course he would take the call but who wouldn't.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
