    I know who it should be....The Drill seargent from Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket"

    We need the hardest preseason this club has ever had, whoever it is...

    Todd-although how he can tell them their disposal is disgusting and keep a straight face will be tricky for him. He was a master butcher himself .

    No idea how will get the job but like our selection panel I would go after Malthouse, if he says no Lyon if he says no get into the assistant coaches either Brown, Sanderson or Neld.

    Ross Lyon if he takes the offer.

    If he doesn't then Laidley.

    Dark horse is Malthouse.

  • Quote

    It'll be someone who has coached at senior level before - if not Lyon or Malthouse, then Eade, Williams or Laidley.

  • Quote

    Neeld. Due to the inability to land the other big fish.

    Viney just lost to Port and Richmond and just beat GC, surely one of the gun Assistant Coaches out there (Neeld, Richardson, Sanderson) is likely to win out in any objective process?

    Malthouse

    dark horse Mark Williams

    Please not Viney, if our club becomes anymore in-bred with the Old Boys Club we will start to exhibit strange and ugly genetic mutations. If he was really the best man for the job fine but no-one could tell me that if he were to get the job it would be on merit.

    Please not Eade either, he is only a bridesmaid will never get to the altar.

    I wouldn't be unhappy with one of the Highly Touted assistant coaches but would prefer a Ross Lyon or Malthouse obviously.

    Bottom line is we need someone to send a rocket up the club, someone who will not accept soft, lazy and unaccountable performances by the players. As long as they can fill those requirements I don't really care who it is.

    You mean R Lee Ermey. Just ten minutes with that guy and Cale Morton would turn into Private Pyle, complete with a full mental breakdown in a bathroom.

    Roos and Captain Kirk as #2.

    Essendon are going all right arnt they and how many old bombers do they have. The club will not just give the job to Viney.

    Yes R Lee is our man!! that must be the most hellish 45 minutes of film i have ever watched.

    R Lee was not an actor, but a real drill seargent!

    ME.

    I once coached an under 14's seconds sides. We only won one game for the season and the boys (being the 2nds side) weren't the greatest of young players, but they loved footy and boy did they have a crack every week. They never stopped trying even when getting absolutely thumped by the opposition, which happened allot. Although now thinking about it that is the only coaching experience i have, and i don't really have much of a game plan. But i really like football and the Melbourne Demons,and people seem to like me. Give me a shot!

    Or do you think it'd be best to go for someone more experienced then me?

    :lol:

    Essendon has a recent history of success and therefore those guys are able to pass that on.

    Todd says he's got the taste after five games. I'm amazed he hasn't been put off.

    I originally thought Eade would be a good get but have probably swayed toward Lyon.

    None of the experienced coaches we want will be available and he's the best of the Assistant Coaches

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
