After having a look at the draw for this season as to the finishing positions of last year i really think Choco from Port might be in trouble

Port doesnt get much victorian press which is understandable

I can see them only winning 1 game against essendon in round 7 and maybe the next against carlton in round 11

We dont play them until round 21

After their dismal grand final display their confidence with be shot if the eagles beat them on sunday and thats in WA

I also expect Terry Wallace to be replaced after this season if Richmond doesnt make the final 8 and i doubt they will be consistent enough

Even if the Crows make the 8 i am starting to think time is running out for Neil Craig also

I also think this will be Paul Roos swan song and he might walk away from football altogether

With Collingwood and Malthouse who knows but time is running out

My predictions

NEW and SAFE

Blues - Ratten

Bombers - Knights

Demons - Bailey

Dockers - Harvey

SAFE

Roos - Laidley

Hawks - Clarkson

Cats - Thompson

Saints - Lyon

SHAKY GROUND (FINAL 8 FINISH DEPENDANT)

Magpies - Malthouse

Lions - Mathews

Bulldogs - Eade

Eagles - Worsfold

Crows - Craig

GONE after 2008

Tigers - Wallace

Power - Williams

RETIRE after 2008

Swans - Roos

REPLACEMENTS

Predictions

Swans - John Longmire

Tigers - David King

You also have to take into account these 2 new teams the AFL is planning to introduce and knowing the AFL as we do they will be planning there coaching preferences well ahead of time

The 2 New teams 2012

Sheedy Malthouse Mathews, Eade , Wallace , Ayres ?

And the new breed Voss , Buckley , Mckenna, Sumich , Bond ?

    I know you have put a fair amount of effort into to your post, but i see no point in discussing whether oppostion coaches may or may not be around next season, maybe take that over to Bigfooty.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
