Can't stand Mick Malthouse. I simply can't stomach Malthouse. Him in red and blue would just kill me.

    You will not notice him at 5.00 PM after our win on GF day!

    From what I have been told, there is a view inside the club that Bailey has been a good development coach but that we need someone new to move us into the new phase and win a Premiership. I have been told by one source that the club has spoken to Roos and Clarkson. Roos has told them he is not interested in coming back as a coach, no word on Clarkson.

    Ah, But has he said No to a Coaching managers role, to mentor Todd?

    Nobody seems to mention Dean Laidley in any of these discussions - not rated..?

    Yeah he is killing it at Port!

    I'd take Ross Lyon over him!

    Can't see Clarkson moving from Hawthorn unless he feels he hasn't 100% support. Kennett moves on next year so I cant see him moving. Malthouse, even if does walk we cant afford him. Roos says No. Who does that leave. Please not Williams. I would love to see Todd there but his first priority with be with Jack. Are there any others. Knights - No. Brad Gotch? Leigh Matthews? Wouldn't mind Leigh Matthews - his love child would be Tappy.

    Wouldnt he be a good proactive face for Melbourne. Yeah right. Sorry what is his position at the moment. Part time in SA. No thanks. There must be someone else. I am not sure that Bails is still yet to be the one.

    I'm happier with Bailey than most of the realistic alternatives.

    Realistic in that they'd be attainable.

    I think Laidley is one of those.

    As is Wallace, Knights, or even Eade.

    Same with an untried coach, like Sanderson, Viney, Cameron, Bickley, Wellman, McRae, Leppitsch, Caracella, Neeld, Watters, McCartney, Lade, Sumich, Rawlings Goodwin, Hinkley or Burns.

    Paul Roos, Clarkson and Malthouse I personally put in the 'unrealistic' basket.

    Who else is there..?

    Matthews

    Blight

    Pagan

    I'd take Sanderson/Matthews any day of the week.

    Pagan is the only 1 of those 3 I consider a realistic option.

    ps. how about Bailey / Matthews?

    It's pretty much what we have now.

    I'm in favor of keeping Bailey and adding to the current coaching panel.

    Maybe Leigh Matthews in a mentoring roll and see if MFC could bring Burns back across the boarder. Would also be intrested in making a play for Neeld and Sanderson.

    Roos, Clarkson and Malthouse would all be a great out come for the club, but they don't seem to be realistic options...

    I'm of the 'give him one more year' camp now. I reckon we're on track for that. Give him a year, tell him 'finals or bust', and let him rip.

    If he makes finals end of 2012, 2 or 3 year extension depending on how we go there.

    Notta Wellman should at least be spoken to at seasons end....He will coach one day.

    Geez you make some stupid posts...

    Spoken to in what capacity? With a view to making him head coach?

    If not, to what end?

    Or do you think he'd return, a year after leaving, to take up the same assistant coaching gig?

    What exactly do you use to judge his ability as a coach?

    What makes you so confident he will be a head coach one day?

    I actually think he will never be a head coach.

    He's not an option I'd take, but if you offered the job to him, he'd jump at it.

    Read the posts idiot - 'realistic' in that the candidate would accept the position if offered to him.

    Look in the mirror lately.

    Wellman is a superb defensive tactician. Huge respect from the players and is a great teacher of young kids.

    You are talking rubbish ... absolute rubbish.

    If you want to find out something ... go find it out yourself. Because you would not say half the things you do.

    Sad thing is some people around here might actually believe you.

    Ps If you want a critic on SW ... listen to James Hird or Bomber Thompson. Even better talk to a few of our boys down back.

    Wellman has got a much better chance at being a senior coach than Dean Laidley has at getting another gig Artie.

    Excellent defensive coach, which is where GF's are won from.

    Don't be so rude and arrogant little man...it's tiresome.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
