Thinking that our football dept spend has been well underdone - what is the ideal setup and who do we want?

Given there is a strong change of culture and football knowhow who would be the sort of people we need?

Are we limited by budget? Or will we only put in to get what we want?

Clarkson

Laidley Royal Connolly Viney West Mahoney

I think we need Viney or someone like that as coach. Despite his lack of experience he'll make the players play for the club.

I still want Schwab at the club.

Anyone at Collingwood or Geelong, we need people with experience and with a winning record i.e. the sandersons, the Watters those types of blokes

Are we limited by budget? Or will we only put in to get what we want?

We have been limited by budget for years now.

Surely its time for the club to say this is who we want and go get them?

If we were to look at the best we could get given availability what would you want?

Do we want a director of coaching overseeing Viney as a first year coach?

Who are the specialists?

Leigh Matthews or Paul Roos or a Malthouse to be director of coaching?

Head Coach: Nathan Carroll

Assist: Ben Holland, Brent Grgic, Simon Godfrey, Isaac Weetra & Alistair Nicholson

Garry Lyon?

It's time for him to get involved or stay out, as was mentioned somewhere else on here.

On fire cooko....

Not sure about G Lyon....

Should he at least be a forward coach or CEO for instilling football culture...

I'd like the idea of West, Viney, Rigoni, being around and would like Roos, or Matthews, or Clarkson, being in the coaching mix. If Laidley could contribute, he'd be OK in the footy dept as well.

But the underlying theme should be toughness and skill.

Where are Hopgood and Seecamp?

And Ryan Ferguson. And Steven Armstrong (at least he has premiership experience!).

What about Todd Viney as Coach with Neil Craig as his mentor, Coaching Director.

The Cockatoo-Collins twins?? They were pretty hard at it....

it is simple you need to spend money to make money .

if MFC can sell me hope for next year l will be happy to spend more.

keep things the way they are and a country membership is all they will get out of me.

over summer we must go out and get the best....in 47 years our coaches apart from RDB and briefly Northey have been first timers....This must change.

Otherwise nobody will commit $$$ next year.

That said Bails is a scapegoat, and the whole club needs a huge review.

I'd like to see Viney replace Conolley, wipe the whole lot of the assistants (maybe keep west) get Laidley in to help and get the best we can, I can't see us getting Malthouse, Roos or Clarkson so maybe the best assistant.

I genuinely feel sorry for Bailey. You can't blame a coach for a 186pnt loss!

Not sure about G Lyon....

Garry Lyon or David Neitz would be ideal forward coaches and a much better option than Josh Mahoney who simply hasn't delivered. Our forwards can't lock the ball in our forward line, and more to the point, don't score. Mahoney's time has to be up. My worry is what could he possibly teach guys like Jack Watts and Lucas Cook about being a key forward?

And while I'm on it, what could David Loates teach Mark Jamar and Stefan Martin about ruck work? That's a bargain basement coaching appointment if you ask me.

A coaching panel with an emphasis on assistants from Collingwood, St Kilda, Sydney and Geelong who can instill in our team a more defensive style of play in line with the premiership and better teams of the recent era.

Dean Laidley or Mark Williams for coach.

Midfield coach. Keep Scott West.

Ruck Coach. Scott Wynd, Luke Darcy, Spider Everitt? Someone recntly retired who understands ruck work as a craft.

Forward coach. Chris Grant, Paul Hudson, (struggling with this one)

Defensive coach. Brett Lovett. Get him out of the VFL, he is wasted there. A great backman who understands the modern game.

Definitely keep Jimmy and Schwab

Replace Connolly. Unsure who the best person is here. Can we lure Neil Balme out from Geelong?

what about Ratten

Head Coach: Nathan Carroll

Assist: Ben Holland, Brent Grgic, Simon Godfrey, Isaac Weetra & Alistair Nicholson

Yep- they may do well with the Dee's little league. However, we do need to make some changes.I think the young one's need a different voice and a different learning curve-I feel we need a forward coach and defence change coach at least..

What about Todd Viney as Coach with Neil Craig as his mentor, Coaching Director.

Makes some sense...
