Just some thoughts if you have them on a big announcement expected of a "true champion of the game" to the MFC coaching panel.

Who do you think?

Scott West is my tip, but interested to find out if others know more.

    I heard from a "good source" that West has already taken a job elsewhere (about two months back).

    Could only be good for us if we can sign a true champion though.

    Can't find it anywhere.

    Neita indicated, when announcing his retirement, that he would be around the club in a variety of capacities.

    So if it is him that is joining the coaching panel, then no surprises and I would have thought no need for a press release, with a "tease" headline.

    Unless of course the club feels it is a way of giving supporters some good news, which of course we all need at the moment.

    Looking forward to having the appointment confirmed, whoever it is.

    Nathan Buckley?

    Mate, I promise you it's official, i work in the Media industry, get all the press releases.. It's happening at Casey tomorrow with Dean Bailey at 10.45am.

    Hird would also be handy, but unlikely I think

    Thinking about it... Chris Connelly might = Peter Bell??? but I wouldn't have bell in "true champion of the game" league.

    If its not Nietz, Buckley is my tip

    Three champions mentioned so far in West, Neitz and Buckley. Buckley would continue his commitments with Seven I'd imagine. I think the short list in West or Neitz would be pretty close to the mark. I was hoping for Scott West a while back. Could be the midfield coach.

    Seems to have gone without notice on here but Leigh Newton has left the club, so there is a ruck coach position up for grabs as well...

    Yeah, really good point..

    Maybe Jimma will join the coaching panel as well, save some dough.. !!!

    If any of this is true, I can think of no reason to delay making announcement.

    It should be on the MFC website right now, but it is not.

    Apparently, press conference tomorrow at 10:45am, Casey. You can't wait until then? ;)

    Mate, I'm busting for some good news.

    But you reckon it would have been leaked by now and the likes of Caro would have got hold of it.

    Must listen to SEN or the Healy and the Pipe tonight then.

    I think that was mentioned on here a fair while ago, wasn't it?

  • Quote

    Shane Crawford??? Paul Salmon???

    Let's see, who's available.

    Neitz wouldn't need to be a special announcement, he'd be staying more than arriving.

    Buckley. Well, for me, no thanks.

    West I respect and I'd appreciate him on our staff.

    Leigh Matthews would be, well, weird!

    James Hird was pretty busy last I heard.

    Alistair Lynch as a forward coach?

    But it's probably Strauchnie.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
