Intersting to see what happens at Casey, will Gotch be kept on? And who will take over the last two coaching vacancies. Forward coach & Ass. Back coach.Your opinions please.

And I believe we should all give KC an award for his work through out the year. Very much appreciated.

We have a policy of one year after turning 30- no exceptions ot at least at this stage..

Discussions currently taking place.I would expect finalisation by end of next week

I think he is a short prized favourite to join us.

Too true and by gee they are in for a HUGE pre season after the end of October and by gee they do not want to have been eating the likes of turtle in the meantime. There is a time and place and last night., I thought it was great to see 5 young players bonding together having FUN.You never know Neil & Dave may bring in some dancing for pre season.However doubtful. Maybe in high altitude next year. I hear that Neeld is very eager to go down that track.

Discussions have well & truly taken place but IMO he is most likely northbound due to top offer .Would really like him at Demonland though. The forward coach intrigues me with no insight at this stage. Trying desperately to find out though.

The way things are going we may get a gig sometime.

I believe you are correct.And like all posts already state- a great advantage having Craig available to grab him next year.

Totally agree but the football dept. report undertaken early in the year has taken it's effect But Gary has had a major effect in implementing it.

I think you have the org. chart you stated above.However every line coach will have an IT person as well.Neil Craig confirmed the above on air (AW) tonight.

Agree- with Craig to be formally annonced at the club later today- I truly hope we treat Trade week with same vigour.

Neil Craig will be joining us.

I disagree - Icke would be a greater asset than Craig. We are weak in this area , thus C.C moving to a totally new area & Mahoney hasn't even cut his teeth in his new role as Football Manager. Icke, if he came in would basically become C.S's deputy & designated CEO IMO.This is an area the club needs to strengthen & cover..

Just a maybe, MFC was talking to him for a very senior role at our club for 2012..Such a role maybe indeed be Director of Football.

He was and as Vanlo points out he played Backline well at Hawthorn.-- I had forgotten about this.

WOW- We are steeping low in the barrel now. I personally think Matty has been sensational. Although, I understand your point of view, I think he brings us news promptly & conscisely. I have been a strong critic of the website in the past but by God he has significantly improved it. However, like everything, there is room for improvement.Updating our player list with accurate information is one beef I have.

Fair points that you have made- just noticed that Ben Hart is joining Collingwood as their defence coach next year- this,I guess will leave Max Hudghton Defensive Coach out on a limb...May make a GREAT assistance to Rawlings. We can only hope...

I'll do the same if I get a call- not on IMO. How do they get our telephone numbers.?

I'm not sure we have gone down the right path with Rawlings as a defence coach. He played little time there I feel he would have made a better forward coach .However I just hope he does as good a job as Wellman and I will be most happy. Bring on a more experienced forward coach now and I will overall be most happy with the coaching panel.

My offer still stands-- fly down and I will pick you up ,take you to training and bring you back to the airport..Love to do it and like to meet you..Are you prepared to do this?

Hey thank you-- that is my name...

Sorry friend

This would also be a fair get- but my info tells me he is north bound.I'd like an experienced coach again for this role..a Lappin would do... but someone whom can give our forwards a plan and develop further with particular emphasis on kicking.

Sorry -you have takem me the wrong way- I was saying thank God that my info was correct-I was starting to question it's soundness especially when nothing was in the press or no release from the club.
