There must be few of our assistant coaches who are hearing foot steps with the firing of Bailey.

If we get an experienced senior coach, the blood will surely spill, so you can't blame West for putting up his hand. But... Surely the Dogs would not entertain the idea of West for a senior coaching role...

Assuming he doesn't get the role, how will his public declaration of his desire to '"get back to the club he played with for 19 years" be perceived by our club. It's like saying "I love you, 'till someone better comes along!"

    Yeh, you're probably right. If the assistant coaches know that, we're in for an ugly finish to this season.

    Exactly, same reason why a player who believes he won't be retained would give it his all in the last few rounds.

    I reckon there'll be very few retained when the new coach comes in, you'd think he'd want to bring in his own people. It'd be a shame to see West go, but I have no problems with former players from other clubs saying they harbour ambitions to return, if you play as long as West did at the Doggies you can understand the romantic idea.

    West going back to the Westies is the same as Todd Viney returning to Melbourne.

    Once Bailey got the sack all positions are up for grabs...West maybe kept if he is the best at his job.

    I see no problem.

    Yeah, agree with all of that. Was just noting that he's put his knackers on the line a bit with that statement. Mustn't want to stay.

    Scott may well be happy at Melbourne, i hope he is, but when a senior Coach job comes along that can change a lot of things quickly.

    As soon as he arrived I knew Scott West would return to the Western Bulldogs.

    No surprise here.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
