    If we get one of the washed up duds from Fox (Bucks, Horse or Simmo) i will spew.

    Head of footy maybe, but dont be fooled by their analysis on 360 or On the Couch being a resume for being a tactically astute AFL Coach

    I think we might need experienced senior replacement.

    With the state of our President/CEO & board to throw a untried coach could be disastrous !!!

    If i see Nathan Buckley given the job i will burn down the MCG

    Pretty sure Longmire is still firmly entrenched at Sydney, doubt he moves to Melbourne to start from scratch.

    I’d like someone fresh, give every player a clean slate and get some energy back into the place.

    I’m looking at the assistants mentioned over Simmo, Horse, Buckley etc

    Enright has apparently been earmarked to succeed Ross Lyon. If we can pry him away St Kilda, I’d take him. I’d also replace Alan Richardson with James Hird (ducks for cover).

    I’d definitely interview Hinkley and Longmire. Wouldn’t even bother with Buckley

    We’ll want to chat to Danny Daly.

    Scott Burns, Murray Davis, Hayden Skipworth, James Rahilly, Steven King, Brendon Lade, Matty Egan, Cam Bruce, Mark McVeigh, David Hale, Adrian Hickmott

    No way I want Hird at our club. In any role, not even as a spectator.

    Either Bruce, Enright or Montgomery with Longmire running the Football department would be great.

    I have a feeling we already have someone on the hook, and think an announcement may be imminent if we sacked Goodwin now.

    Adelaide head of coaching this year who was a long time Brisbane assistant before that.

    He’d be a very Fagan style appointment

    Fooled by the analysis on 360???? They are hugely successful Premiership coaches, they are not getting picked up because of 360 🤦

    Longmire, Danny Daly and Enright are the ones to chase. Would love Longmire as I think he has a good mix of ruthlessness and team first mentality.

    No idea what he actually does these days, or if he has any coaching experience or interest, but this club needs a person like Luke Hodge who would not accept an of the cr@p we've been served up by the players over the last few years.

    I would be happy with this, he is Brisbane's Fagan successor in waiting

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
