I wonder if the umpires would reduce the 2 million trees the pies get every time we play them if Bucks takes the job?

 
 

Surely coaching a win against the filth would give a reconsideration to Troy Chaplin. Automatic legend status if we win this

How could you not want to coach Harvey Langford! The kid is a superstar


Now we have a coaching panel selected, and the incoming CEO saying they’ll select 6-8 possible coaches that will sorted through for our eventual coach; is there a list of coaches we can come up with?

Buckley, Hinkley, Hird, Daly, Skipworth, Enright?

Any of those in or out or others being considered?

My guess would be

Buckley

hinkley

Skipworth

Enright

King

Daly

would be the 6 the panel will explore fully

Now hang on - I have been assured on here that it is a ‘Buckley accompli?’

So what are we ‘process’ing here?

Hmmm?

I thought Hinkley has already ruled himself out?

Regardless, there's absolutely no way we should be considering him.

In the meantime, any of the assistants need to be told 'yay or nay' by the end of August (according to the AFL)

So those deadlines makes it difficult for the new coach to pick his own team (FD)

Let's say it is Buckley ... wouldn't it be best if he brings his own crew with him? At least in part?

Unless the assistant to he appointed is not currently with an AFL club…. ….

So we are to presume that Eddie has spoken to Bucks and warned him not to go to Melbourne FC.

WHAT A CHEEK from an old hack.

He went on a Tassie Devils podcast and they specifically asked him if he'd make a good coach for them.

....if he was available....ergo


Nath move to Tassie away from his boys, that’s not going to happen.

Sturt (SANFL) Football Club has granted Melbourne (AFL) request to approach current Head Coach Martin Mattner about the recent vacancy for its Head Coaching Position.

Sturt currently Top of the Ladder in the SANFL and reigning Premiers are undefeated in 28 straight games”

Found this online. Interesting.

I spoke to a friend last night who is high up in the Lion’s camp management. Said he be very surprised if Daly left as he is very imbedded in their club.

That's long been the word on Daly. Apparently he turned down both MaCrae and Hardwick for fairly recent assistant roles. He'd be a huge get for us imo.

Uh, more a mission from hell, given we are Demons and all....

Because the club went backwards every year since 2021, has only won finals in two seasons since 2006, had/has massive cultural issues widely reported on, refused to make positional changes, structural changes or changes to our ball movement such that watching us play was/is like banging your head against the wall, because we had lost members in their droves etc

In a nutshell,100% correct!

Yeah maybe you're right.

  • 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

    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.
