I agree with RAPPA, CFC is overreactionary, liable to do anything as soon as there is some bad stuff going down and the media machine revs up.

Voss won't stand a chance if he becomes a laughing stock, there are early signs of it.
 
I reckon Nix will survive as long as we're in the hunt for finals till late in the season. We're a pretty average football club, selling finals hope is a pass.

That's probably true, however if Adelaide start the season poorly and are all but out of finals contention by May then the Crows might make a change.

The one I wonder about is Fremantle. Clearly the results are not there with the Dockers with only one finals series in the past 9 years (an unconvincing September appearance in 2022) but there seems to be no pressure at all on the underperforming team and their coach, with many excuses rolled out whenever the side fails to reach its goals. People talk up the Dockers like they are going to be one of the greatest sides ever but I just don't see it.

I can see quite a few changes in the coaching ranks next year (I said the exact same thing for this season but only Adam Simpson ended up getting the chop)

  • Nicks is gone if Crows don't make finals
  • Brad Scott is in trouble if Essendon don't make finals
  • Justin Longmuir is gone if Fremantle don't make finals
  • Simon Goodwin is in trouble if Melbourne don't make finals
  • This should be Hinkley's last year no matter what the circumstance
  • Ross Lyon is in trouble if St Kilda don't make finals
  • Sydney could John Longmire the tap on the shoulder
  • Luke Beveridge is in trouble if Dogs don't make finals
 
Was going to post similar, I think there will be a bit of turnover next year, not the least both SA teams having new coaches.

I would say Goodwin as the first coach to be sacked, but given everything that’s happened at Melbourne the last few years, I would be surprised if all of a sudden something popped up and it happened this year. Not saying it will, just wouldn’t be surprised.


I’d say Nicks first, and with Hinkley, likely won’t be sacked, it’ll be positioned as a thank you, you can coach out the year but advised no new contract to be offered. Which could he awkward if they make finals again.

Separately, if there is a lot of turnover in 2025, it does put Tassie in an interesting position, as any new coaching contract would probably be sitting around the 3 year mark, effectively locking out a few options for Tassie.

McQualter.

If we lose week 1 vs GC, there's a fair chance we will be 0-7.

If pick #3 fires early for Carlton it's not going to go down well considering how hard he hitched his wagon to Baker.
