Disagree. I still don't think Malthouse is out of reach. Of course he won't say he's interested in coaching a different club next year while trying to win a premiership with Collingwood now.

+1

Of the list that was provided I said Laidley as I think he's a very smart and initiative coach who got some good results with an ordinary North list. Also wont be affraid to give the players a good rev when needed.

But I still think Malthouse is more then possible.

I would love to see Melbourne have a real look at Brenton Sanderson. Coming from Geelong he knows success and has been close to a senior job a couple of times. We have seen how both Scotts have brought youth and excitement to their respective clubs. Melbourne need new blood with new ideas.

Understood. But I think it would be a pretty boring poll if I included Malthouse.

Id be ok with Matthews, if hes still got it.......Malthouse maybe, he may give it away if he wins back to back flags. If however the pies lose the flag would be very interesting.....He may just want to have another crack.

If, we can't get Matthews to agree to Coach, maybe he would be Director to Brenton Sanderson, or a 'Harley' type. Or, maybe Harley would also assist?

Brenton Sanderson:

I thought this was meant to be realistic?

How then have 10 idiots voted for Matthews??

And Malthouse isn't even an option!

As mentioned, I am assuming those that aren't available, really aren't available.ie Malthouse

Matthews was being tossed around quite a bit and ther'e no contracts/agreements preventing him from doing the job.

I'm throwing in with Viney. Outside of Clarkson and Malthouse the alternatives don't get me excited at all.

I'd be happy with two years of Todd teaching these kids the meaning of hard, contested 'bleed-for-the-jumper' footy.

however he does not want the job RR

He didn't really say that, because it hasn't been offered to him. He merely talked about his 'tenure' for the 5 weeks. Have a watch of his press conference again from last week. His unwillingness to coach next year is hugely unconvincing for mine. My preferred coach.....TODD VINEY. Experienced coach talk aside, he's just what we need.

Voted Lethal, mainly because I didn't like the others, especially Laidley.

My view on it is that we need someone who is respected from the moment they walk through the door. I have no doubt our senior players will go to a different level if this were the case. This would be someone who, while the players may feel slightly intimidated by, has a decent coaching record and a hostory of getting every ounce of goodness out of his team. Laidley DOES NOT meet this criteria. It's about creating a culture, or perhaps more accurately, changing the culture (and attitudes of some players).

There are a select few that would be able to walk in to a Club, and have the players busting their gut to earn the respect of the coach. That's what this team need to go forward. A "rookie" coach (Sanderson, Neeld, etc) would spend the first 12 months trying to earn the respect of the players, which is not where we need to be for the next few seasons.

Yeah how ridiculous to vote for a four time premiership coach who is one of the hardest blokes to have played / coached. Why would we possibly want someone like that ?

I'm not sure about that OldDee.

Get Brett Kirk down there as well and perhaps a very smart footy brain like Brendan Mcartney from Geelong (who I think Tweed Pig suggested).

Viney/Kirk/Mcartney

This club needs a change of culture and it needs tough, inspirational men to instill it.

Dean Wallis.

Get him back as head coach.

Bloke will coach premierships.

You mean Sean Wellman?

Wallis went from Freo to Ess.

You seem rather certain of a Premiership coach you don't know the name of...

Funny...

I know nothing is cast in concrete RR.

But the guy has said on National TV "He is not interested beyond his caretaker roll till the end of this season"

In the last week I have seen nothing to change that view.

Whomever the coach turns out to be I can only hope a somewhat more no nonsense , less holistic approach is taken. I cant help but feel some players have had too long a leash and far to much largesse . It became all too cosy and predicatable. Im happy for anyone who can knock a real sense of purpose with urgency into this team

It doesnt have to be frire and brimstone....just very fair dinkum ;)

If that is what he said word for word old dee, he has left the door ajar.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
