See the earlier reply. But it comes down to giving up 2 second rounders in a deep draft to get a nice player but not a difference maker a year early.

You are seriously underrating Lindsay who off the back of virtually no pre-season, has shown he is going to be an excellent player and exactly what we need in terms of ball use and decision making.

I can’t believe with the decision to sack a Premiership Coach that a Board (even Melbourne’s) would take such a huge decision without input from either a senior player (Max no way) or GM Football. Richardson would have heard the “noise” that major change was coming . It will come out in time because leaks always happen at Melbourne but if this is the case this reeks of Dean Bailey / Cameron Schwab ie we got the wrong man. Watch this space

Gee, I remember the same club when the players ruled the roost. It took Peter Jackson and Roos to sort that out, whether you like it or not, it's a business. Players are employees, and they will be coached by a new person, and they will adapt or move on or get moved on. That's football.

Unless you actually know, I don't think you should be posting this type of thing

Mark Bickley confirmed it on the SEN SA radio he threw Simon under the bus.

He's a rat.

Get him out of our club

 

I do question why Ed Langdon seemed to communicate himself and and his team-mates feelings so much more concisely and maturely than half the posters waffle on here.

It was interesting to hear Josh Mahoney acknowledged by SG along with Peter Jackson and Todd Viney in setting the ground work for our premiership. Obviously have no idea but from what I do know, he seemed to not get enough recognition after we did win the flag.

Would love to see what would have happened had Josh Mahoney got the CEO role rather than Pert.

I have often wondered the same. He was Peter Jackson's pick which was ignored.

the head coach is gone, and a number of assistant coaching appointments have not worked out. that's on Richo

i reckon soft cap considerations might keep him in the job for now but longer term we need a new head of footy

Can he be employed with the same wage outside of the football department? Therefore freeing up the soft cap, yes/no?

Hinkley seems like he needs a break from coaching, so probably won’t coach for another few years, he is as smart as anyone, so would be a good replacement for Richardson. Him supporting the incoming coach could be something to consider.

Just reading between the lines from what we saw at the presser, I get the feeling Richardson threw Goodwin under the bus when they were reporting back to the board.

He can’t stay on, surely…

What did Mark Bickley say exactly?

I think Lindsay will be indeed a difference maker.

Do you have more context here?

Also I doubt he "threw him under the bus". He'd have likely been consulted by the board during the process.

This is an extremely underrated comment.

We chose to distance ourselves from the Jackson brass and I was never sure why. It would be wrong to say that Pert didn't have some success but after where we had come from and having had to start from a long way back it could have been beneficial to see Mahoney installed in that position and let the ship sail on with what we had built to that point.

A sliding doors moment. There's only one person who can explain the thought process behind this decision and I doubt we'll be hearing from them anytime soon.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
