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?

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.

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?

Garry Lyon?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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..

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
