Goody dropped the bomb, Casey, who would be insane enough to drive there, wherever it is.

That immediately takes out everybody but a few struggling assistant coaches.

A man like Bucks is not going to start his motor up every day and traverse to that place.

Think we’re going to end up at Waverley

It does make me laugh when anyone earning ludicrous amounts of money complains about commuting to Casey. I stand still on the Monash for a lot less than that. Will happily swap.

I’ve got 3 young kids - I’d be happy to commute to Phillip island for the peace and quiet

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.

Now for someone who tries to base my thoughts on something... I have really nothing to back this hunch other than it's a hunch.

End of 25 ...a bit of turmoil and grief counselling after the status quo ..goes down down , deeper and down...

A new dawn.. New ppl...some new faces come on board. Some old faces go. Some surprises.

Trade/Draft..... gung ho preseason..

26... bit of an up and down year... lots of new stuff to get jiggy with. Eos 26 ... faces out, faces in.. bigger preseason gets under way.

27... those extra couple of preseasons and gametime paying off for some kids..

Melbourne re-emerges as a serious and capable team. Finals.

For no other reason than it's entirely possible because it could be ..entirely possible.

That is to say... you flip a tail.... the next toss is still fifty fifty.

Get a few things right, and then do it again.

Right atm.... I'm optimistic

The bridge will pisss you off no end.... just saying...

Goodwin and Buckley have fairly similar coaching records

Goody has the better finals record and obviously Bucks took over a premiership team Vs Goodwin a young up and coming team

Bucks missed finals for 4 years with a very good list.

I'm far from convinced

Bucks for mine. Has the profile we actually need. We are a small club we need someone like Bucks. He might get us back on the map. His effort to make the 2018 GF was phenomenal. 2019 lost a prelim as massive favourites. 2020 smashed in a semi. After that pies were done and he was gone in 2021.

Longmire cagey as he doesn’t want to commit and not get the job.

Bucks $1.05. Yes please

What about not finishing higher than 11th for four years straight with a premiership list?

He made finals in his first 2 years when he took over a ‘premiership list’.

How long does a coach still have a ‘premiership list’ for?

If he coaches the Dees next year is he still coaching a ‘premiership list’?

For those saying Longmire isn't interested, here's a clip from "on the couch" in July 2013 where Jackson is being interviewed and at the time Roos had said he wasn't ready to coach again. A lot can change

I would say with 15 premiership players in the 22 then yes.

In Collingwoods case they were young and highly touted as the dynasty - more than most. He underperformed supremely and if not a pies legend would have been sacked years earlier

Yep, let’s go there.

Pies 2012 list was stacked and Bucks rebuilt it under the guise of poor culture

You mean the rebuild that led to a GF and Prelim? Yes he never won a flag but got bloody close, coached in more finals appearances and never finished lower than 12th. We played in a Prelim and then finishing 17th. And backed up a flag with four straight losses at the MCG (never been done before) and two likely 14th placed finishes.

On the flip side you have Goodwin who says we have a great culture and close to a flag in what would be a contract year. He was delusional.

Surely Longmire has to be the one. Sydney’s culture has been the envy of the comp for 20 years and he comes from the Paul Roos mould. Longmire will definitely bring some Sydney coaches/ex players into the fold, which has to be a benefit to us. We need a very experienced coach, especially with our CEO having not much footy experience .

Does the mental fragility displayed by his playing group in not one, but four, grand finals concern you?

Somewhat damming the McRae took the same Collingwood side to a prelim and a GF…

Thanks mate.

Do feel we have narrowed our candidates to just the experience coaches out there or will we look at untried coach as well.

I have no idea who we will appoint, but I think given the changes off field and the changes needed on field and with an aging list, we will go at this time for an experienced Coach.

If forced to guess, I think it could be Buckley, given his language and that of Longmire and Simpson on the issue.

Buckley is a savvy media person now and has basically said we are a club that is a compelling choice for him to Coach and I just feel he wouldn’t use that language, unless he knew something, as otherwise he could look like a rejected applicant, which wouldn’t help future chances.

His language could have been very different, but he chose to publicly put himself up for the position.

So my guess is Buckley, who should have the respect of the list if he gets the job.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
