Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
It's the elongated hyphen that gives away the chatgptness.

Training Ground?
Both could be true. MRC have a debt problem and Roffey was big noting herself as that was the entire reason she was brought onto the board - to solve the home base issue. But if what @bluey says is correct, it was always an option, just not the preferred one.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
That would make me think, but I'd still keep him I reckon.

Sounds like a Melbourne supporter to me.

The Marcus Windhager Thread
Windsor, Rivers and eventually Lindsay, will change this.

Brad Green and the current board
Rennick and Green have been on the longest now. With Rennick going, Green has been on longest.

Me too mate. 👏

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I'm keeping both Clarry and Trac. And I think that's what'll happen.

The Marcus Windhager Thread
Windhager actually makes Trac more potent as a mid, because he defends and covers for Trac in defensive transition. His acquisiton could also allow Trac to slide forward Dusty Martin style.

The Marcus Windhager Thread
As a midfield coach, what are your thoughts @Pennant St Dee ?
-
The Marcus Windhager Thread
We can't defend stoppage. Not only do we need new midfield coaches, but new personnel that complement our ball winners and offensive minded players.
-
The Marcus Windhager Thread
Windhager could have the same impact on our midfield as Dunkley had on Brisbane's. Let's hope we can get him over the line. Great list management. 👏

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Any relation to AFL Hills?

The Max Heath Thread
Heath looked promising at AFL level. Verrall hasn't played a game.
-
The Latrelle Sumner-Pickett Thread
We absolutely need another x factor forward IMO. Ideally two. The question is whether Sumner-Pickett is good enough for AFL level.

Potential Father Son Prospect Noah Yze
Smith's value came from his explosiveness and speed. Noah is a smarter player, a more than natural footballer, but lacks the explosiveness and speed. They are important attributes in a mid sized forward I reckon. I don't think we'll go down the Noah path.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
I guess this is my point. Every club is at a different stage and has different needs. Clearly, we've identified we need experience, but this is the problem with an arbitrary rule like 8 years experience. What if the best candidate had 6 or 7 years experience and was seen as the glue to the FD and wider club? I think it shows how poor/naive some of our messaging is. There was never any need to be specific about the amount of experience in terms of years. Just say you're looking for experience and you won't be drawn into specifics. They will come out as part of the process. An operator like PJ wouldn't frame things this way. And if you've seen Green's video on socials yesterday, he can barely string a sentence together, and manages to repeat the same talking points regardless of the question. (I know it's difficult being in front of the camera, I struggle with this too unless I know exactly what I'm talking about) I worry we still don't have the right people in charge though. Time will tell.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
As mentioned, with an arbitrary rule like this, we'd immediately rule out the next Chris Scott, Hardwick, Clarkson or Goodwin. I think we told Buckley the role was his before we sacked Goody and we're going through the process to give the board cover, making this point moot anyway. But I've been wrong before...
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Whereas, Goody had 4 years at Essendon, including an interim senior coaching position, plus an additional 2 years as an assistant under Roos at Melbourne. So he wouldn't clear the bar either. The 8 years experience seems incredibly arbitrary.

The Rohan Marshall thread. 👏

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
The question is whether an experienced coach, or anyone, will sign for only 3 years...
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Great post mate. As to the game plan, I really think if we can get a great senior assistant, this would be the perfect fit with Buckley. Someone like Justin Leppitsch if Bruce has truly passed up the role.
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
It was a great appointment for where we were, at the time. The question now is whether Buckley fits us best in 2026. How do we know people are trying to undermine Guerra from inside the club? This is a guy who's been head of a Chamber of Commerce. He will have enemies. Let's not jump at shadows. Great post mate and I agree. I think bringing in a top notch senior assistant below Buckley is the way to go.
-
Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
This is very true and one reason why I'd be fine with his appointment. We do have to deal with commercial realities unfortunately.
