    If we hire Daly as the coach maybe the Ashcroft boys and Logan morris can come as a bonus

    Excellent. Now take note of who Graham Wright is lining up as coach in waiting at Carlton and nab one of them as the senior coach and away we go

    Bruce has been huge for Brisbane over the last couple of years.

    Melbourne connection aside, this would be a fantastic acquisition.

    I reckon he'd be a great addition, hope it comes to fruititon.

    Would Bruce want to be at a club with a Guerra ??

    A friend was just wondering 🤔 🙄 ...

    excellent

    i was hoping he would be keen for a senior role but i suspect this gets him back to the city of melbourne before a coaching role becomes available end of 2026 (e.g. carlton, potentially north, mebbe a succession plan at the aints or the peptides)

    would be a great get, similar to when we hired Yze

    not sure he'd want to play second fiddle though. i thought he wanted to be a senior coach

    I'm a big fan of Bruce but it does seem odd to be hiring an assistant coach before the senior coach is locked in.

    O

    It does seem odd, unless you assume that the senior coach has already been asked this question . One would normally think that all the assistants come in with the new coach. Or at the very least they have some say or interview existing staff. I am thinking conspiracy theory here, the decision was made some time ago on who might be the new bloke, only needed the right time to tap goody on the shoulder. If he stuffed up I guess.

    But you cannot say that out loud, just think it.

    Usually the Senior Coach get their pick of the litter when it comes to their assistants. Maybe one or two blokes are left over with contracts to carry over. Not seen a team hire assitants before the new senior coach is announced.

    I would not be at all surprised to learn that we're all just watching a pantomime selection process when the decision was really made weeks ago though. As silly as that would be.

    What if ..... what if the interview process isn't about the Coach ? ( well head coach per se )

    Lots of other positions to fill. So why not do it in plain sight, behind doors, as it were.

    Move along, nothing to see, well not what you're all thinking .....

    Daly and Bruce as a combo?

    Cam is a different kettle of fish, he comes from successful organisations and has build a good foundation of skills outside of the Melbourne way, it is this reason I think Nathan Jones should be moved on after this year (plus he is the under performing midfield/stoppage coach), having lost 75% of all the games he played at the club, go learn your craft at other successful organisations and potentially come back one day. The last thing we need is the boys' club raring it's head again, which it looks like it is already underway. Cam has the added benefit of doing his apprenticeship under Clarkson & now Fagan.

    Mm, how can we recruit assistants with no senior coach?

    I guess if we wait a month all the top assistants would be gone

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
