With all these Presidents getting together courtesy of Jim Stynes being a fair minded Bloke etc I would love to see John Northey Bought back to the club as a guest or whatever. He did a lot for this club & wasn't that far off winning us the elusive 13th.

I remember having a chat to him at the '88 B & F. He was a really Good Bloke. With all the past players being embraced lets not forget the coaches. Just an idea i may put to the club

Was a superb coach for his time. Had a young list with a little bit of talent and formed them into a team of believers. I have a huge amount of respect for the man and the way he put that side together.

john northey is currently coaching ballarat in the ballarat football league took them 2 a premiership last year which was a massive effort with the young side he has

he goes to most MFC supporter group meetings that get held in ballarat seen him a few times

If any one could do it, it would be Jimma.

Would be good to have a get together of the coaches:

Ron Barassi, John Northey, Neil Balme, Danaher, Big Carl, Bobby Skilton...

Would be an interesting get together.

Gippy

Northey was a master motivator. Got the most out of most he coached.

That sounds like an awesome idea! Just get a few of the former coaches along to tell a few stories and turn it into a MFC fundraiser!

I'm sure that John Northey and Co would have quite a few interesting stories to tell.

I suggest Emailing this idea and any others to the MFC here: [email protected]

northey showed me something i never saw before, finals, he was a great demon well ahead of his time, as any coach since done any better, it would be fantastic to see the great man pop in once in a while.

Northey - He delivered 2 night premierships.

Glad other people feel the same way about John Northey & his time at Melbourne.

Round 22 1987 & the Following week in that first Final I was so Proud to Be a Demon Suporter.

'87 was also the year we returned to the Red & Dark Blue Strip. Thankyou!

Northey Should get a lap of Honour during a Home Game. He Deserves our thanks.

He would have been so proud when Jim Stynes Won the Brownlow in '91.

IMHO ... this is a superb fund raising idea. I would pay money to listen to this group of ex-coaches say their piece.

Northey - He delivered 2 night premierships.

plus he delivered are winning culture, that supporters had not seen for 25 years.

I loved the guy. saw him at Adelaide airport once and told him "every time I'm away, the Dees win". His reply "you better go away some more" :D
