Want Sydney to win tonight to end St Kilda's season so that the Ross Lyon situation can be resolved sooner rather than later.

We can either lock him in by the end of the next week or so or rule him out and go hard at Neeld, Sanderson, Burns and co.

Very much hoping for a Swans win. It certainly couldn't hurt our chances, even if it is a bit of a longshot.

Both sides are playing great football so far on the TV. We haven't played like this since the Northey years.

Bring on the defense training!!! Swans up by 26.....

Yep. I actually love watching close, hard-fought, defensive sport. There's nothing wrong with a scoring feast once in a while, but there's nothing quite as emasculating and infuriating as the complete inability to stop your opponent from scoring.

Neeld, Sanderson & Burns?

FFS - Lets just keep doing what we have always done, sign Assistant Coaches & just watch us keep getting the same result.

We need to change this up & land the big fish.

The assistant coach model does not work for us.

We have suffered long enough - We need some hope.

Surely It's gotta be MM, Lyon, Bomber Thompson

I have faith in GL to make the correct decision this time.

He must of learn't from the 2007 failed Bailey experiment.

Yeah, he should have chosen a coach that would have guaranteed us success. What a pill!

If we can't get a premiership coach (which still doesn't guarantee success) we will have no choice but to go for an assistant, and if we were to go that route it might as well be Viney- He will instill toughness on our boys. And that's what we need most.

Are you drunk? What the he'll are you on about?

Clarkson re-signed. Malthouse won't be coaching next year. And it is known they're having a big crack at Lyon.

If he decides to stay at St Kilda what do you propose.

They have explored every option possible with the top line senior coaches and have had a red hot crack at them but honestly what is your proposal should Lyon decline? Thompson I doubt will go anywhere. Who then?

The next best available coaches are the senior assistants.

Edit: clarkson was an assistant who became a premiership coach first time.

Ross Lyon was only an assistant before 3 Gf's.

Thompson too (and he took 7 years to get the first one)

The Scott brothers.....

Again what is the point of your post?

Now GOAG

Sure little drunk to answer your 1st question

I will say this nice & slowly for you so you get the grasp.

We have been down the assistant Coach path since 1986

25 years later this model has not worked for our club.

I don't care about Clarkson (Hawthorn have a very different recent history than we have)

I don't care about The Scott brothers (How the hell can you compare the Geelong side he inherited)

The point is Bomber Thompsom, Ross Lyon, Clarko are all advanced @ this point in time.

Malthouse won't be coaching next year! Is that right? Give me a spell

In my opinion we do not need another ROOKIE assistant coach.

We need some experiance in charge in 2012 simple as that.

Thankfully my mail is Gaz Lyon is all over this fact.

My point any clearer?

No.

They are going at those established coaches.

No one can criticize the club for not facing a crack- they're having a red hot go at these blokes. But if Lyon declines. Bomber stays and Malthouse doesn't coach then what is your suggestion?

As I said in my OP, that is when they then go at these assistants.

But you seem to want something to appear out of mid air- perhaps Norm Smith? Checker Hughes?

Ease off the drink and think!

No.

So the "assistant model" has not worked for MFC.

It has worked at other clubs, obviously.

But you want a proven coach.

What is to say that will work for MFC?

If those coaches have worked at other clubs, it does not matter.

You have already implied that models that work for other clubs do not work for ours.

I struggle to follow your thought process.

Maybe I need another drink?

Do we really want this guy??

Two Swans coaches playing under a roof with 3 goals kicked in a final!

Mate, I'd be more than happy to see our team as honest as the Swans and Saints!

When was the last time you saw team wide desperation from the MFC?

Great Team Saints,more early draft picks than an other team & only able to kick 8 goals, great desperation but you dont win flags kicking 8 goals!

I have seen many desperate teams of Melb playing finals with Daniher,Balme & Northey.

The great Norm Smith said you play to win flags!!

All of the above coaches incl Lyon have come second, history only remembers winners!

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    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
