Spot on.

The prevailing belief is the only way is up, we couldn’t do worse than we already are etc.

Hashtag beware jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

Shouldn't be a problem for us demons :-)

    ALL my posts are serious!!!!

    I mean his salary is going to fit between Richo and Guerra; we have to pay out Goody though if he goes to the Swans they might be paying us (thats my first silly comment for the season ok). And the new coach might want some new assistants so we have to sack someone. Thats $$$$

    Im sure they have it under control.

    Two Ex-Demons coaching names in Craig Jennings and Marcus Wagner come to mind for this role in my opinion. Jennings was a game strategy and education co-ordinator for us, won the AFLX premiership as the coach ; is currently at the Giants living out of a van. Would be nice to lure him back. Meanwhile Wagner was our Chief Innovation Officer, who resigned earlier this year (the rumour mill contends there was a falling out with Goodwin) Also has experience working alongside Bucks at the Pies for a number of years (could be one of Bucks people that is brought in.) Could also see it being someone different, aka a long time assistant coach at another club such as Brendon Lade from the Dogs or David Hale from the Hawks.

    Came from a tough background, has enormous experience playing and then after retiring in footy admin, is smart and pragmatic.

    Without knowing the specific requirements of the role, on what we do know, he would seem a standout candidate.

    The only thing for me is the role sounds near identical to a footy boss in its scope from what little we've heard. Not sure exactly what that means whether some responsibilities of the footy boss are been delegated to this role or something?

    Bartel seems like a good type to have within the club though.

    It's a soft push to replace Richardson. Plus from my understanding if the role sits above the FD it doesn't fall into the soft cap?

    Either way, Richardson has 12 months left on his contract, and we can't afford to pay him out and replace him. This is the way to get around that.

    This seems like an easy loophole to exploit haha.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
