SOME people opt for a 'New year, new me' attitude and the AFL coaches are the same, laying out their plans for 2017. AFL.com.au has compiled the New Year's resolutions for each senior coach.

Adelaide

Don Pyke
Not to read The Advertiser.

Brisbane

Chris Fagan
Not to buy a house in Brisbane. At least not yet.

Carlton

Brendon Bolton
Keep looking for that geneticist so that we can clone Jacob Weitering.

Collingwood

Nathan Buckley
New car for Eddie, new golf clubs for Perty, new Rolex for Walshy, new iPads for the board members ...

Essendon

John Worsfold
Making Essendon great again.

Fremantle

Ross Lyon
I'm only going to ask Nat Fyfe about his contract negotiations once a week. 

Geelong

Chris Scott
Whatever Paddy Dangerfield wants.

Gold Coast

Rodney Eade
My new motto is 'two of everything', so if this dual-captaincy caper pays off, it'll be two scoops of ice cream every time I'm walking through Broadbeach.

GWS

Leon Cameron
Don't bother those building the new trophy cabinets, but remind them to leave lots of space.

Hawthorn

Alastair Clarkson
I can keep a secret if you can, Dusty.

Melbourne

Simon Goodwin
Remind myself on a regular basis it won't be all doom and gloom if we lose to the Saints in round one.

North Melbourne

Brad Scott
Resist the temptation to change the players' gym radio from Triple J to Gold 104. 

Port Adelaide

Ken Hinkley
Not to listen to 5AA.

Richmond

Damien Hardwick
To keep some packing boxes in the corner of the office. Just in case.

St Kilda

Alan Richardson
No matter what they're serving in the club cafeteria, after my time in the ashram, I'll stick to my rice, chapatti and dhal. 

Sydney Swans

John Longmire
I'll only take my autographed Isaac Heeney picture with me to bed once a week. Promise. 

West Coast

Adam Simpson
Ask Clarko if I can have Cyril Rioli too. You never know. 

Western Bulldogs

Luke Beveridge
I'll only watch the Grand Final DVD one more time for 'tactical' research.
