We have to pick assistant coaches by end of August and yet we are picking our head coach in September, our so weird. Me thinks we have already picked the head guy and are showing to supporters that by setting up a selection panel we will appease supporters. Have any of the coaching selection panel ever coached a team to a flag?

Did we beat the hawks last week ,is that why there is no change this week. Kentfield and Adams your'e lucky that you are going to be part of the slaughter match. All up and coming players should request a trade next year whilst they still have their sanity left. This club is pathetic, it is like Goody is still coaching the rubble. Essendon will be very happy that we have gifted them an early draft pick.

The Dees don't do left field stuff , not in the coaches DNA. This match is like the Killer Whales chasing the fairy penguin. The teams that cares v the team that has checked out. I am hoping that I am wrong.

I wish this was so. Cannot say anyone has improved.

Using the Goody play book I would only expect changes based on injury. Would like to see May and Kentfield play forward................ Cannot see it happened. With Buckley as the next coach, May and Petracca will play forward.

Why don't we just appoint Buckley before he changes his mind. After the appointment we can then [censored] around selecting a coaching panel.

I would imagine that Judd would have to take a pay at W.C due to Reid's massive wage next year.

Perhaps Culley will become a forward

Playing Judd midfield is not a bad idea considering we have nothing to lose as the season is shot. If he wants to go home then we should get a second rounder for him. I would like him to stay , I think that under a new coach ( probably Buckley ) he will become a better player.

Not sure why people are against Buckley because he didn't win a flag at Collingwood , personally that's great. The following coaches didn't win a flag at their first club, they are Paul Roos ,Alastair Clarkson (4 flags at Hawthorn) and Mick Malthouse ( achieved flags at W.Coast and Collingwood)

Drop players who are not up to scratch and not to promote them if they don't perform in the reserves. In other words make them work harder. Reward reserve players who constantly play well. Find a way to transition reserve players so that they can play seniors. Pick up young midfielders who were not selected in the 24 and 25 draft. Get a decent FF coach.

Tracc will be playing forward next year.

Based on the recent reserves match , has Kentfield has become higher in the pecking order compared to Jefferson ? Will they both end up playing in the seniors together in the future? Kentfield could end up playing in defence I suppose.

Buckley looks like the favourite to coach the Dees in 26. I wonder since he was a midfielder , will that mean we won't need a mid. coach?

If we ended up with Longmire as a coach , will we then become a destination club ?

Fritta is going according to a reliable source. We need currency.

What is wrong with Buckley being a Demon supporter? Was Goody originally a Dee supporter, me think not. You can be anything you want to be as long as the price is right.

Just because a coach didn't win a premiership at another club does mean that person cannot win a flag elsewhere. We need a coach that is not going to put up with [censored] from anyone. The coach needs to select his own assistants. I am hoping we get one of the Buckley or Longmire or Hird (forget about past mishaps).

We should not give out long term contracts to coaches and players. After our 2nd year of double elimination that's when Goody should have be gone. Hopefully the rest of Goody's assistants apart from the caretaker coach also take a running jump. One of Goody's big p.ss off was he dropped senior players then reinstated them despite underperforming in the reserves. The future coach would be one of the following Hird , Longmire or Buckley .

I would have expected Kozzie to kick a minimum of 5 goals based on his huge pay packet. Petty should have kicked a lot i.e 10 against weak oppo. Obviously is unskilled in forward craft or is an unskilled forward. Should have been trained by a quality F.F coach i.e B.Brown. What would Geelong or Dogs winning margin been over W.C depleted side? Perhaps 200 pts plus, just saying.

Over the next few weeks , i would like to see Kentfield , Adams and Sestan given a go at senior level. We have nothing to play for and it will give encouragement to the younger players.

Jai biggest asset this week is he will become an emergency then will be dropped off the team list v west coast

We have no choice but to more on senior players if we want to get early draft picks. I am afraid we will replace those with like for like which probably see us go backwards. I would like to see Gawn give up the Captaincy and become a part time ruck coach , no need to employ inferior coaches. We need a decent midfield coach and a forward coach perhaps B.Brown, Goody and Company need to be tossed out. We need to look at getting half a dozen young players (18-19) who have midfield experience. These kids would be the one's who missed out on being selected in previous drafts. All could be be rookies. We also need a CEO or President who is going to put up with sh.t . At the moment we have nobody.

We should match West Coast quality outs so we will then be on a level playing field. To be managed (don't want to hurt players feeling by dropping them) Trac,Oliver,Fritsch,Gawn .... you get the picture. I am surprised we are not 8-1 for the match.

We should keep Oliver as a sub from now on, hopefully he will accept less money elsewhere next year. Trade targets should be zero, why should we be responsible for wrecking someone's career? Up and coming players should leave before it is too late, fear that nobody will be interested in them. Brad Green along with the other clowns need to pack there bags.
