Lay your nutz on the line. Just state the name, no justifications needed.

Todd Viney.

    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.

    Drumroll ........ N Buckley

    Lyon if released from contract.

    Neeld otherwise.

    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.

    Brenton Sanderson.

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

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
