Based on the comments that Mayne is interested in coaching perhaps Perth could offer him your colts' coaching position and play for your league team.  

Not sure that could happen. Does not the WAFC appoint coaches for the Colts teams and pick up the tab??
Interesting point though. Chris Mayne would be an ideal choice as far as PFC might be concerned.
Has he commenced the coaches' processes? He may be excluded from a direct coaching role. He is a school teacher, I believe, and a role at that level may be a starting point.

Personally speaking there should be a big push to get former players back into the fold - it can only benefit younger players and of course provide depth to squads
There's not much in the way of negatives

I understand that Mayne has started his coaching accreditation process. He would be the ideal coach for the Colts.
Conca should return to the club. He has several more years in him at WAFL level.
Both players are now off AFL l;ists and revert to the club. I hope that we are diligently exploring all avenues to getting them both back into the Demons fold.

He will be coaching Peel.
 

yeah I can't remember where I read the same thing mate - online somewhere

I reckon going straight from AFL to coaching at WAFL level, any level as senior coach, is a big ask and a sure fire recipe for disaster, but what would I know.

One thing is for sure, he's got some big shoes to fill with SuperCoach getting the arse. He'll be starting two fake flags behind. 

At a guess - Tendai takes over as head coach at Peel and Mayne will play there in a mentor role and take on an assistant or colts coaching Role. 
Conca will play for Perth and take over Masto's money.
