At this rate no one else will apply. Then Bucks will probably pull out. Will have a search committee with no candidates.

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.

    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.

    60% say Nathan Buckley is the best choice to coach the Dees in 2026

    Let’s see if the Dees powerbroker panel agree?

    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.

    Jobe Watson is a trained barista so makes sense as a lot of caffeine will be needed during the process

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
