Eagles boost coaching group by luring Dees assistant - https://www.afl.com.au/news/1404006

Interesting.

Wonder if this opens the door for a senior midfield assistant to support Nathan Jones.

Cameron Bruce comes to mind.

    Kozzy butchers the footy by foot. He's brilliant around goal, but turns it over a lot further up the field.

    It's weird though - perhaps I'm misremerbering but it feels like his field kicking has gone backwards this season, in large because of those strangle little dinky kicks that look too cute by half that he does at least one or twice a game now.

    Perhaps it's just that he's playing way more time on the ball but those kicks seem like a new thing.

    There's no reason why he shouldn't be an excellent field kick - he has a good technique and evidenced by his goal kicking accuracy.

    Yeah, I think you've nailed it. It's those dinky little kicks that aren't on that he turns over.

    Are you suggesting the practice footies with the special stripes on them aren’t working??!

    Pickett and the dinky kick that goes 7 metres off the outside of the boot, when he could handball, are massive momentum killers. They always happen when we are on the run and lead to turnover goals. Something he is going to have to iron out. While the majority of our mids need to lower their eyes, sometimes he needs to lift his. He misses the targets 30 metres ahead, whilst trying to kick to a guy less than 10m away

    What does Kozzie’s kicking (which is the absolute least of our worries - it’s not even a worry) have to do with our next freakin coach?

    I don't think anyone has a clue who the next coach will be. Doubt if it will Buckley. Given the rolling administrative chaos I suspect he'll pull out before too long.

    Imagine sacking a premiership winning coach and having little to no (better) options for a replacement. I would have preferred to have fired the entire inept board. I’d also ban anyone who has held a ‘leadership’ position at a big firm from applying.

    Let's just say Nathan Buckley gets the gig for arguments sake.

    Would Nathan then put the question to Jordan Lewis to become involved at some level whether that be the newly formed position of head of strategy or some other role that's less time demanding.

    This might help Nathan adjust to the club overall with Jordan having spent time with the club.

    CHRIS FROM CAMBERWELL might finally get his wish of having Jordan involved at some level.

    Is Chris in Dland?

    We should also be looking for an assistant coach to coach the forwards preferably someone who played as a forward who knows and can teach forward craft.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
