Will any of our assistants be saved. I reckon Scott West is still a good person to have around unless the new coach has someone better in mind. I think Josh could be replaced and Brian Royal is an experienced person but I think in todays footy we need someone fresh out of the game.

Should it be a case of wipe the slate clean and bring in fresh voices?

its a good question. As Todds job sort of sits outside the immediate coaching circle he'l be there. As to others.. , well many senior coaches like to pick their own.

Id imagine the current lot might be sprucing up their CV's :unsure:

That will surely depend entirely on the Coach we get to take over. It will be interesting whether we get a 'Term Coach', or if we go with a short term WamBam hit & Run Coach for one Year.

I wouldn't mind a 1Year coach, to put the cleaners through the "crushed velvet", on our list & then starch everthing within reach.

I don't think any will survive. Brian Royal will be the first to be shown the door.

That's your opinion based on your opinion that Royal isn't a good defensive coach.

I feel that they will all go.

It's a shame but the tar brush is wide and sicky...

I would expect it would be a necessity for the incumbent senior coach to add his team of assistants

Bernie Quinlan is the perfect example of what happens when you don't

I would expect some to be asked to stay but not all

If you have a harmonious and productive working environment good things happen

The days of the coach who does everything aka Grant Thomas are long gone

The new coach, whoever that might be, will want to hand pick his own entourage. Even if it were Tod Viney, I expect he would want to hand-pick his own lieutenants.

I reckon the lot of them are cactus. Bailey might've been the one who took the fall for 186, but he's not the only one who got hit by the splatter. If they weren't all tarnished before, they are now.

Love it Nasher.

I'd happily see them all go. Obviously Bailey is the head coach, but I only see decline not improvement through all parts of our game, and that to me says that the assistants aren't doing a very good job. Quite obviously I may be well wrong, but that is what I take from my observations, and if I'm correct then they all have to go.

I read this morning that Royal is contracted for three years. Please, please tell me it's not true. From the outset his appointment reeked of a spot at the club needing to be filled and him being the last assistant coach available as no other club wanted him.

well, the back line certainly hasn't covered itself with glory since Wellman shot through.

it was a big strength last year for us, this year, totally disorganised!!

Why do you think West should stay? Why do you think Royal and Josh Mahoney should go?

In every loss we have been thrashed in the midfield. Why do people think he should be spared? Because he was a great player?

yeah 1 read the 3 years as well for Royal.

BUt the new coach will have the final say and I would clan the place out if I was him. The only assistant that really impressed me was Wellman and he got pinch!

Agree. Getting Wellman was an absolute coup. Losing him was a very big loss.

    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
