What do you guys think of Sanderson? If he's overlooked @ Geelong, he may want out.

Is he over qualified?

    Possibly a good call.

    Could only enhance his reputation, coming to us as we continue our climb up the ladder.

    Only problem is that we need to wait until the cats coach is sorted and we'd rather have our backline coach sorted by the time we begin preseason... Which is in about 5 minutes.

    Yeah, Sleepy Hollow are giving themselves up until the start of their pre-season to find a coach. Cook said mid November. Although, Bomba has annointed Sanderson as a successor at Geelong and believes he is ready for the senior gig.

    If Hinkley gets gig at Geelong then we need to get Sanderson.

    Do anything to get him from Geelong.

    Both Gary O'Donnell and Alan Richardson have left the Bombers.

    Richardson has apparently already gone to Carlton.

    Gary would be a good get and would be able to enhance his reputation with us as we climb the ladder and Bailey has connections at Essendon through having played there.

    O'Donnell is one switched on guy.

    I used to work with his father and spoke to him reguarly. I'd take him in a heartbeat

  • Quote

    I'd prefer Dean Laidley.

    As would I.

    But I don't think he's keen to accept another senior assistant role.

    If he is, get him.

    I've always been a Gary O'Donnell fan.

    *Also please keep in mind, Brenton Sanderson. If Hinkley gets the gig down 'sleepy',,, he may want out.

    Also I or Mark Williams

    just curious, what sort of salary range would an assistant coach be on?

    Good question.

    Laidley would probably expect to earn more than Bailey did in his first couple of years as coach.

    Just a name from out of the blue which ill throw in for the defensive coach.But how about Nathan Bassett.Has taken Norwood from 7th last year to the grand final this year which they only lost by 1 goal.The list was also worse than the one they had last year as the club wasnt aloud to recruit or get any Crows or Power youngsters which they drafted.They lost older experienced players in Kris Massie & Luke Jericho yep made a big leap up the ladder.All the commentators here are saying Crows & power would be mad not to take him & think he will be AFL bound next year or year after.All opposition coaches of the finals side said Norwood played with a defensive set up & zone far superior to anything they had ever seen in the SANFL & said it was AFL standard.Norwood also conceded less goals this year than anyone else in SANFL keeping the years goals against to under 7 per game

    There's a thread about Bassett here http://demonland.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=23088

    Also on O'Donnell i think it was said on radio that he didn't want to continue in coaching

    I've heard him say that he is too busy with his commitments helping people with gambling addiction.

    Todd Viney would be the pertect fit for the demons

    If you're making this suggestion because it might help us get Jack Viney, I don't think it's a good call. Fathers shouldn't be coaching sons at this level.

    That would be great.

    That is a great point.

    What is the ex Demon player that has been the Pies development coach, that also quit yesterday doing?

    And that Todd only moved to back to Adelaide a couple of years ago, I don't think he'd want to move again anytime soon.

    Well he's not getting a Senior Coach role, so he'll have to take whatever he can get if he wants to be an AFL coach.

    What do you think of David King? Got burnt in association with Wallace but seems to talk a lot of sense on the radio.

    Matthew Lloyd is another one I've been impressed with in the media - is actually prepared to do some research.

    Both premiership players.

    I think Laidley would be a great consideration too.

    Predicting who might make a good coach is pretty much guesswork for mine.

    Who here would've guessed that Scott Watters would turn out to be the assistant coach behind one of the best defences in the league???

    Hey, John Meesen could easily turn out to be a great coach.

    Who'da thunk that one?

    I agree ID.

  • Quote

    Chris Scott is said to be looking at a role with a club in Melbourne if he doesn't get the top job at Geelong (unlikely).

    Very highly rated.

    We should make a big play for him to replace Wellman.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
