I find it surprising that Bond and Mckenna couldn't crack the short list but Connolly can

I'm surprised about McKenna I thought he would have fitted the criteria but very happy Bond is out of the running Bond has loser written all over him playing for basket cases Fremantle and Richmond and an assistant at the softest team in the comp.

My preference would be :

1. Sheedy by a mile

2. Bailey

3. Hardwick

4. Connolly

5. Riley

    BeeDee over on BigFooty says it's down to Connolly and Bailey, and he is right 5% of the time :P

    this shortlist just goes to show how much the media really know, and how much they think they know...

    what this shortlist tells me is that the club is really going through a solid, thorough process... from what i can tell so far, i'm pretty sure whoever the club does select (won't be connolly i would hope) will do a good job...

    For the billionth time, the place to discuss moderator behavior is not in the middle of a thread. Thread cleaned.

    I don't understand - are you saying that Bond & McKenna are short listed or not?

    IMO it is down to two, Sheedy and Connolly, I get the impression from the clubs comments that they still think our list can be up there challenging for a flag over the next 1-3 years. Personally, I think we are a long way of winning a premiership and although a rebuild is well under way we are still 4-5 years away with our younger players to be a real threat. Saying that though if Sheedy or Connolly can get our best 22 on the park and playing at their best we should be able to finish 4-6 on the ladder in 2008, and hopefully our younger players continue to improve we inject a couple of KPP and a ruck in in 4-5 years we are ready to win a flag.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
