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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
