There is some talk about that we are extremely keen to talk to Robert Harvey about an Off field role next season.

The club is keen to talk to Harvey as soon as his season is complete, but he is already beleived to be wanting a coaching role with a youthful club in some capacity..

It would be interesting to see if we can land him, as IMO he'd be a great asset in assisting our midfield..

Gary O'donnell and David Schwarz have also apparently been approached..

Harvey instead of Williams? Couldn't do any worse.

Ox? NO.

O'Donnell? Didn't rate him as a player. Not sure

id take todd viney over all of them any day of the week

well maybe not over harvs...but one of them bleeds red and blue and one of them would be getting his first coaching gig

on the other hand, wouldnt mind shwarta being at the club in a part time capacity or for a marketing gig, but not as a full time role

i have really changed my opinion of him towards the end of this year and have started to like him, but i think he is a little bit of a looney tune still...

then again, i quite like his commenatry even though no one else does

in conclusion

i cant make my mind up over anthing

The OX has a good football brain and played his football with passion and zest! Red and Blue all over! Get him over!

Would welcome Rob Harvey and O'Donnell anyday of the week. Would be great additions. AS would Todd Viney!

If we could add one of them would be great!

G-O'd is a very cluey bloke..make no mistake..Am amazed Windless Hill didnt go with him instead of Knights to tell truth.

Am not that overly impressed to date with our secondary coaches. I have no idea what Harvey is like as an educator etc..but there could be no uncertainty of his credibility as a player and thinker on the field.

My daughter may even switch back to Melb then !! lol

Schwarta did know how to play the pointy end of the ground.. and he could certainly show a few how to kick a ball... not something we have an exces of at Melbourne i would say !! :rolleyes:

We as a footy club need to help the young guys as much as we can, so if that means getting some of these guys - do it!!!

Ox - played CHF very well (alongside G.Lyon & D.Neitz), does know what he is talking about. Keeps his messages simple - somthing our young fellas prob need (no need to get too technical)

Garry O'Donnell - A very very good hbf in his time, has learnt off the best in Lethal. Very good with the young guys.

Harvs' - Need I say more? One of THE BEST midfielders in the game!!

Of course we all would love Todd back @ the club, but I think he is prob pretty happy at the Hawks at the moment - but, no harm in asking.

Do people writing off the Ox realise he was forward coach of the Dogs this year?

They were the 2nd highest scoring team this season...

Happy to be corrected, btu I don't believe he was the forward coach. I think he was a goalkicking and forward assistant - no match day or strategy role, just more mentoring for some of their forwards. I'm not saying I do or don't like the idea, just think you have over-stated his role.

I think you are right Choko.

If Harvey joins, where does this leave Paul Williams, the last of the footy department under the old administration?

I thought I'd heard somewhere that Williams was chasing another gig, Ballarat or some where. May or may not have substance.

I'd be wrapped with getting Harvey, but not just as a midfield coach. I've heard he rates his ability to mentally prepare before a game. If he comes to the Demons, I'd love for him to be able to impart some of his knowledge in that area to our younger guys.

I'd rather find an ex-Dee.

Harvey is the most exceptional footballer, who has incredibly made the evolutionary changes over 21 years to maintain football competitiveness. Can he coach? I don't know!

But give me an ex-Dee... yeh, probably Todd.

Or what about Chris Connolly? Could we get a discount for Chris?

Id be happy with the best availble person for the job.. If hes a Dee ..all good ..If hes not.. I dont care.. Just want best person.

By all accounts Harver does have some skill with imparting to the youth.

A vast bank of knowledge.. He interests me

Saint ..Demon.. two sides of the same coin !! lol ;)

Personally, I feel supporters place too much interest on where they feel certain peoples' heart "lies" and the influence that will have on not only their application for a certain job, but their ability once they have attained the role.

Harvey is a professional of the highest quality. Not just as a footballer but as a person and I feel this professionalism would come into his play should he join our Coaching Staff.

Though I just feel a role at Moorabin would suit him better. I have no doubt we would do a fine job at the MFC though.

We've closed ranks with our new Demon President, board, football department, etc.

We've hung tough with the AFL, in that we are 150yrs old.

We've made moves to go back home to the MCC and our MCG. At the same time we have moved further in the last 2 months than in the last 5 years to find a summer home where the Demons can "burn".

We debate our clash jumper and demand Red!

We are one, man!

Give me an ex-Dee in any coaching position we have available, if he qualifies !! (Sorry DB, you are honarary due to your "hang tough" year, and we do want you going forward)

This attitude makes us Demons. Makes me feel good against the McGuires, Kennetts and Dimitriou's of this game!!

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
