Dean Laidley (poss finals)

How can we go from having a "happy-go-lucky" bloke like ND, to a "sour-faced brick wall" like Laidley????

If we employed Laidley as a coach, I would not buy a membership during his reign!!!!

Give me Vossy, Ratten, Longmire, McKenna or Todd Viney anyday!!

If our coach comes from that group then I would be more than excited about our future....

Just to name a few we might want to at least talk to:

Todd Viney

Peter Sumich

John Longmire (although poss won't make finals)

Dean Laidley (poss finals)

Just for starters...

fair enough. my mistake, i was thinking senior coaches. but my statement about that clause in ND's contract still stands, and i cant see a reason why these coaches would have different contracts, especially assistant coaches who want to move into a senior coaching role.

I would like to thank Neale Daniher for everything. I think he has been a fantastic coach and has really battled hard for the team and been excellent in trying to market the club. I really do think that at the end of the day the players have to take responsibility for the results of the team. We have always had too many passengers. Johnstone, Green, Yze etc are great players when the team is playing well but when the team is struggling they go missing and in to their shell.

It is a shame that Neale was not allowed to coach out the season - after 10 years of dedication he deserved that much. I am disgusted with the way the board has acted in this situation. You should always look after your own.

Next coach: Brett Ratten please. We don't want Voss (no experience) and we don't want Connolly. Connolly is a failure. All Fremantle has done is won 10 games in a row at the end of last year and suddenly he's a good coach. What a joke. Look at his last 5 years.

Completely agree Old.

I remember an interview with Peter Schwab after he resigned before season's end at Hawthorn where he said there was nothing to be achieved by him coaching out the season. He is right.

But I thought you wanted to "let someone (Daniher) who has served the Club well over long period of time finish with some dignity"?

clint, i think that ND is going out with dignity. He was not sacked, he got to say that he wouldnt seek reappointment. then he made the decision not to coach out the year, meaning he can go out on his on terms. While there may have been some pushing behind the scenes, there was no public bloodletting, no "you're sacked" speach. i think he has been treated with respect and dignity. think back over all the coaching turn overs of the last few years. can you can remember one that was done with as much dignity allowing him to choose when to go out? even letting him have a testimonial game almost?

I'm not saying that he isn't going out with dignity.

It makes more sense when you see where the quote came from.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
