Moanaghan = no loss, because no payout; plenty of fish out there.

Clarkson; blessed with above average support, with direction dictated by Dunstall & Co originally.

Viney; if he was worth something Hawthorn would have made an offer he could not refuse. Instead, he left for Adelaide. Never liked crap around here to get him back to Dees.

Fagan and Evans; who are they?

Having met the bloke once in the rooms post-match I can honestly say, like quite a few no-named assistant coaches or auxiliary club personnel, he is consumed with his own false sense of self-importance and absolutely no loss to our organisation. Ta-ta you redundant minion.

I'll qualify what I wrote initially; it was beyond what I intended and frankly... tooooo many beeers for Diablo tonight.

What I will say is that there are plenty of people involved in football who let the fanfare of it all go to their heads. Blokes with no standing whatsoever in the game who think that, because AFL is massively renowned, by extension so are they. Enter Rosco Monaghan.

I don't know Ross, never met him, but I don't think Craig Cameron would have poached him if he was rubbish at his job.

Unless CAC himself is also rubbish at his job...

Or just thought it'd be nice to fill a vacant position with a guy he knows...

"Hey Rosco, what you up to? Hows things down at the dees? Oh yeah, the tiges are awesome mate, i'm having a ball. Look, there's actually a position popping up if you feel like a change... Yeah? You reckon? Oh sweet, I'd love to have you here. Look, I'll sort it out for you, don't worry. Yeah, we stay up late playing super mario kart like the old days! Nice one, ok. See you on the weekend. Later."

Speak For Yourself!! I watched many games involving Todd Viney & I want him back in the MFC Family-He was A True Hard Nut.

Clarkson is a top bloke-Good luck to him

Not that Monaghan is a huge loss, but is anyone a little concerned about all the other clubs making coaching & admin announcements, yet we haven't heard boo out of Melbourne?

The usual end of season coaching changes have been happenning, Campbell, Harvey, Burns, Nigel Lappin, Barker, Mitchell to name a few have either changed clubs or taken up roles after retiring, yet nothing from us. I would like to think that we'd have been considering our options for midfield or forward coaches. Even if all our coaches are contracted, doesn't mean we can look at adding a development coach in a part time role like Robert Harvey.

And does anyone know anything about Ox coming back to the club? We could do a lot worse then getting a part-time forward coach at the 2nd highest scoring club this year

We already have a fair few assistants/development coaches IIRC.

In case you hadn't noticed, we're not exactly flush with money :P

I'd like to be a fly on the wall at a Richmond meeting.

"We are not doing well enough on the field changes have to be made. I know what? Let's poach Melbourne that's the model to sucess"

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
