Peter German/our relationship with Casey

Recommended Posts

Read rumour on Demonology however, it is my understanding that Leon Cameron will coach Williamstown and become Development Manager at Bulldogs.

Hope I am right as I deem German a brilliant coach for our young list players whom will learn their craft early at Casey.. However, at the end of the season he seemed peeved that some our list players did not play. What do you think?

Casey and Melbourne's relationship was definately strained towards the end of the season.... IMHO it cost Casey a real shot at the flag.... but next year will be a different story and I am sure that PG can see what an exciting list he will have to work with next season.....

German won VFL coach of the year and makes a massive difference in our lists development.

On SEN he gave an interviws and It was easy to tell

he was [censored] he'd not been given access to MFC players

and that he had to put up an embarrassing effort in the elimination final.

Fair enuf too. Jake Spencer, Kyle Cheney, Jordie McKenzie and Paul Wheatley all should have played (got these names from scorp's web site!); they all played against the saints, and don't remember any injuries.

it is expected that Leon Cameron will take over from Brad Gotch-that is my opinion, therefore German would not be going to Williamstown as rumoured on Demonology.That is what Cameron is part of the topic.Got it?

Wheatley was definately injured and so was McKenzie from memory.

Wheatley seemed fine running around assisting the coaching staff at Eastern Ranges whilst Casey was still playing

Did you watch his last game? He was definately injured.

Fair point- however in rasing topic re German and hopefully retaining him, I just hope for him and us in developing the relationship with Casey, we should be developing a positive/ strong relationship with Casey.I went to the Grand Final-VFL last Friday night and in the North Ballarat side there were 8 quality North Mebourne players & for Bullants-10 listed players.

To me this is not only assisting German whom wants and strives for success, he wants to develop players with a winning culture. Next year, hoping this will happen.

I think you should have established this in your first post in the thread - your post initially came across as quite odd until I guessed that German was rumoured for the Williamstown gig.

I doubt keeping up with the machinations of VFL coaching moves is the highest priority of too many posters.

Except:

1/ where the actions of MFC might impact on the VFL coach of the aligned team, such as not supplying sufficient players for finals (which may well not worry Demonland posters)

2/ where the results of 1/ might result in a consequential impact on the future development of MFC players (which should worry the heck out of Demonland posters).

Join the dots!!

None of this makes it likely that the majority of Demonland posters are going to have their ear to the ground regarding Williamstown coaching rumours.

For this thread to be coherent it required Demonland posters to be aware of a rumour involving the Williamstown role.

Join the dots! :)

Agree totally- that is why I raised the topic as well as German is a great coach & in particular development.

firstly..not everyone reads ology !! so... all things considered dont get too upset if not all get what youre implyiing.. .. when casting 'lazy' apsersions around...think twice ;) ( just a hint ) maybe a link..just an idea.

I will preface this with no disrepsect to German or the Scorps.. but .. Melbourne is Melbourne and whilst we have and surely wish to develope further any links and future with Casey ...our playing ability and management of OUR team comes first for this club. Its up to Casey to make the best fist of what it has and also develope its own players.....surely.

Maybe this will show some Scorps that opportunities can always present and to grab them with both hands.

Please Peter....no sooki-la-la's

thank you for your sound criticsm.However, I feel German was not sooki- la -laing. He was being professional.Just telling it ,as it is.In any partnership re MFC & Casey, need to be fair dinkum with each other. Also, playing finals are great experience for any player.Actually, I am not a Newton fan, but by gee I congratulate him for stepping up and playing.

It is a partnership... but its not the same as being the same entity say such as is the case in Collingwood or Geelong .

In the past I suspect Melb has spent far too many resources securing Zebra premierships at some cost to its own progress, now things are different. The MFC will of course help and abet its partner the Scorps but only as far as its own resources and priorities allow. We have learnt..we are a bit more savvy. This isnt to say that its all MFC and the Casey bunch can go to hell but its up to Casey to mount its best team with what it has to hand. Ins t it ?

I would prefer that the likes of those empowered into positions of coaches etc concentrate far more on developing their stock than pondering what might have been if only this or that.

Yes it can be hard if undermanned..and somewhat cruelly in timing.. but thats when the better get inventive..others just moan

One of the 'Ologists seemed to think this was a done deal.

If so, it would surprise me greatly. It's widely thought out this way (western suburbs) that the Dogs are very very keen to do whatever it takes to hold on to Leon Cameron, as they want him to be their senior coach after Eade pulls up stumps, and they'll do anything to keep him happy. I would have thought bringing German into the picture puts a bit of heat on Cameron, who might be less half-hearted in his pursuit of other AFL senior coaching positions.

My point is that German to Willi carries some potentially very serious knock-on effects for the Bulldogs, so I'd be very surprised to see it happen.

If not German then someone else will look after the Scorps. German is good...but not alone. Am sure his boots could be more than adequately filled should he choose to move on.

To be frank am more concerned with the to-ings and fro-ings at Melbourne. There are a number of sufficently adequate and hungry coaches around who would salivate at the opportunity especially given teh stage of Melbournes push.

edit:

for the record am more than happy should he stay he has done some very good work with Casey and what he had at his disposal from MFC. I should think he too can see whats up ahead and wish to be part of it, indeed have a decent hand in some development/refinemnet of some very good raw talent. But if he goes..he goes.!! s.i.l.

The Ologist poster is a great mate of Peter German.

I'm really disappointed if true. German has really guided that young side with numerous injuries over the season into the finals and if things had of gone the Scorps way a few times a top 4 finish would not have been out of the question.

I really hope the relationship between the Scorps and the Dees is sorted out ASAP. It is a two way street for the MFC and the Scorps in this relationship if it is to be sucessful.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
