Probably will stay under the bed sheets with Ed and the Filth, but I reckon he's quality as a future coach. Maybe something the Gold Coast Iron Men should consider!?

Great Player but can he coach?

We dont need rookies in the staff list. We need to get experienced coaches who know how to get results.

I dont think I could stand "Demonlanders" saying he will be better next year, or the year after, or lets give him a chance to develop!!

Thats your opinion. So far voting would say he has enough experience and knowledge to do the job from go.

What coaching experiance has Buckley got????

Just as much as Michael Voss. None. But as a captain, and his thoughts on the game, when injured, he coached with Malthouse helping out the youngsters in the understanding of the game plan(s).

Nearly 300 games worth of experience, thats what he's got, and he's just out of the game.

You don't need a hell of alot of experience to be an "assistant coach" anyway. Just ask Josh Mahoney.

No need to be naive.

Although I loath him, he would be a fantastic midfield coach for our young players. He was an incredibly hard trainer and a fantastic leader, and he knows a thing or two about midfield setups.

A FIGJAM he may be, but if he's keen for an assistant gig I'd definitely interview him.

By the way, most assistant coaches start out with little or no coaching experience. That's why they begin as assistances and work their way up. I don't think experience is the most important thing when you employee assistant coaches.

Our assistants are OK but we need to get rid of Williams move Josh Mohoney into midfield and have Neita as forwards coach with the Ox part time

That's interesting...the Ox is at the Bulldogs...must be poached for that to happen.

Nevertheless this is a very popular topic, and is receiving more hits than tickets being sold for the new Batman movie.....

It shouldn't be a question of would we, but why wouldn't we?

If the only reason is that he may move on to the Pies within a couple of years, or that he's black and white through and through, then that's nothing.

We shouldn't overlook ANY assistant coaches, not if they help our cause.

The Champion player staus of Buckley isnt a pre requisite for the role but he would at least get immeadiate respect

There is no doubting his game analysis expertise but coaching is much more than that

Time will tell but to me he is a natuaral football person and will make an excellent coach

Ex players like David King , John Longmire and Chris Bond are also coaches in waiting

Did here a rumour a while back that OX may return next year. (Also heard we were inline for $20,000,000 if we became the Bombay Demons) So I have no idea if it's true

Could coach the players in;

1. No hard ball gets,

2. Circle work - ie running around packs,

3. What it's like to not win a premiership in your career (Have enough of those experts),

4. Changing clubs for money,

5. How to deal with supporters with an IQ less than the number of teeth in their mouths.

Couldn't stand him as a player but he has shown this year (through his commentary) that he has a very analytical nature and a clear understanding of the game. Also, he has made the transition from player to analyst far more smoothly (and quickly) than anyone else I've seen in the last ten years.

If he was available and wanted to come, I'd take him as an assistant coach in a heartbeat. Certainly before Voss who I am starting to think played the game more on instinct given his Walls-esque take on the game.

The other one we should look at if available, is Luke Darcy. Basically for the same reasons as above.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
