ah, that's some epic levels of mfcss - full hanrahan!

I don’t think it will happen but I’d also expect no other serious candidate will apply for the job whilst there’s this much Buckley smoke. Maybe a couple of young assistants who just want to experience the process.

If it is an open search we better start communicating that to candidates.

    she actively says that he should coach tasmania(n) devils, a team that DOES NOT EXIST, over the melbourne demons, the oldest team in the top tier competiton in the world and the founder of the game

    I noticed that too. What an outrageous opinon for a so call journalist to put into print.

    Vindictive, nasty & degrading at worst. Immeasurable ignorance at best.

    she's not really a journalist anymore; more an opinionist

    I used to respect Caro but now since joining Cornes on 7 she seems to have become a sour bitter old [censored] with a huge negative opinion on the smaller clubs in the competition

    Mate, thats all she has ever been. I got a small holiday on the day Roos signed as coach for saying that.

    I completely stopped respecting her years ago after she would write an opinion piece on a Tuesday and then quote her own opinions on the Thursday as "Facts".....

    It's not that Wilson necessarily has it in for Melbourne, she just loves old Benny Gale and desperately wants Buckley to coach the Devils due to the Benny love and Richmond connection.

    That's it in a nutshell.

    Just got an email from the Club re the coach panel.

    Happy there are a few reasonable externals on the panel, Jobe Watson and Director of football at Storm...

    Jobe Watson has a high footy IQ apparently. I’m not sure about that. Never heard of the other 2 externals.

    If this is just a front for optics purposes far better to just announce bucks and be done with it

    Jobe Watson? Isn't he the one whose career apex was under the disgraced coach James Hird who championed a supplement injection scandal? Is that what we're looking for in terms of "intimate knowledge of the day-to-day operations of a football department"?

    Frank ponissi gives me confidence. He's been craig Bellamy's right hand man for years & will definitely know what to look for in a successful coach.

    Jobe watson is random.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
