Chris Maple has been a real Mr.Fix it. Would be disappointed if he has left.

Given his promotion coincided with the year from hell, maybe he should have stuck to purely coaching.

Carlisle nabs pick 5, Yarran nabs pick 13. And Stringer is not worth a top 10 pick? He's younger, better, more versatile and actually successful with a flag in his back pocket.

So far we have 5 Vic clubs keen on him (a few who have a war chest to spend) and he's under contract with us in 2018. Pretty good hand of poker for us if you ask me.

EDIT - now Richmond and Collingwood have expressed interest. Easier to mention the Vic based clubs who aren't interested in him.

Did he have a choice in the change? He seemed to change his role at the club Year in year out.

If he has been asked to leave I think he is a scape goat considering his success as a VFL coach and development coach.

Might have had a bad exit meeting.

Did anyone have a good exit meeting? How was the barista at the pound cafe this year?

Only had one coffee there this year and it was a goodie. No problems there.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Brian Waldron said on SEN yesterday that Chris Maple has moved on . Clubs gone pretty quiet

I think there should be a change over of assistants. We need some new blood. These guys have been there for 5 years.

The CEO is out the door too?

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

If Jake is traded there is a massive hole in the TPP going forward as you would assume they would have left ~800K free for him. With the instability at the club this year I doubt we could come in late in the Josh Kelly race but there would be room to land a so called big fish thats for sure. In 2018 the likes of Lynch, Sloane, Gaff, McGovern, Gawn, McDonald and Brodie Smith are potentially up for grabs. Interesting times, but first we need to get our house in order thats for sure. Its a big trade period and season coming up for Bevo and Gordon the premiership feels long ago indeed.

I agree BAD but Maple was footy manager not an assistant.

Re: Who would you have JMac target this year?

Seems Bevo has bought in a few mates from his amatuer days over time , are they up to AFL standard and Have experience of the pressure involved?
I wasn't keen on us changing things after the premiership , the old saying don't change what isn't broken.
Does anyone know why Montgomery went?
He was very solid for us for years in all his roles.
We also had Stephenson moved on.
Garlick went suddenly.
Whats happening with Dalrymple and JMac?
If you actually look at our past three years there has been an issue ever year with someone .

Crameri is on $450k pa, although some of that may have been front-loaded.
We have cap space.
