Quote:The Club and AFLW senior coach Damien Keeping have parted ways by mutual agreement.
We wish to thank Damien for his contribution during his tenure at the Blues.

After some of the insipid performances this season, a change was not improbable.
Particularly as Keeping appeared to have considerable help problems this season.
I hope we can search well and find a coach who can fix the structural issues we have, and a new recruitment guru, like Stephen Silvagni, who can bring in the talent that we need.
Thank you to Damien Keeping. We appreciate your efforts. But now we need to move on towards the Premiership.

As we suspected, all was not rosy behind the scenes.

I think Keeping's health might have played a big part of it, he seemed quite liked by the players.
But when that Arnell selection stuff surfaced, something had to be going on behind the scenes.
Not sure who they get to coach, there are not that many experienced AFLW type coaches on the menu!

I am not sure about Lauren Arnell's playing future, she really struggled this year. But I would be getting her involved as an assistant coach ASAP. She has an enormous reputation in the VFLW. Harnessing some of that would be excellent, no matter who ends up being head coach.

I think that's right LP; the players were full of praise for Keeping and I suspect that his ill health unsettled the team.
I'd like to see us appoint a female AFLW coach ... but I wouldn't be disappointed if Dennis Armfield returned to the AFLW panel.

And the Captain wants out too..... ???

As far as recruitment, how about SOS and his crew.
AFLW all takes place in the AFL off-season anyway and I bet he watches it all anyway.
