With Ross Lyon staying at St. Kilda I reckon it leaves us with the following to chase.

Mick Malthouse

Dean Laidley

Rodney Eade

Mark Neeld

Scott Burns

Brenton Sanderson

Ken Hinkley

Alan Richardson

Peter Sumich

Leon Cameron

Neil Craig

Mark Williams (if available)

Fingers crossed we can land Malthouse, otherwise I'd be after either Laidley or Burns.

Any other options I haven't listed?

What's everyone's preference?

Edit: Added Williams & Craig.

Mark Williams should be on that list. Despite his insanity and penchant for erratic and disruptive behaviour, I think he'll be looked at. Premiership coach with a modest list.

Didn't he rule himself out around the same time Paul Roos did?

He would surely give the fD a shake up.

And let's not kid ourselves. It can't get any worse? Can it?

Won a premiership at an under resourced club, not that long ago. I remember the tie noose interpretaton like it was yesterday lol!

Find ourselves an interim coach for next year, having Mick signed and locked in for 2013. Mick could "advise" from the sidelines. But no Buckley-type arrangements where 2 coaches want/expect the one job. Heck, I'd do it for the year and happily give over to Mick. Seriously, benefit for someone like Todd would be an extra year's experience of coaching senior level, with the added bonus of being entrusted to begin developing Mick's plan.

Eddie might even get p***ed off and cut Mick loose early :)

Interesting report on 3AW from Gerard about "McClardy seen in Perth with Burns and Schwab seen with Craig" being a dynamic duo. Burns coach, Craig Snr Assistant. Fine by me....we get great sport science, elite sport credentials and a bloke that earnt every game, worked under malthouse and worsfold.

If Ross Lyon is truly gone, then I would be happy with that combination. Let's just get the right person or combination and let the club move forward.

A good listing to look at.

Being realistic (and assuming Ross Lyon stays at St Kilda as you say) and of course IMO only:

MM is most likely not available

DL is an excellent match day coach, but overall not an option

Eade has been ruled out by Garry Lyon I believe

Neeld has good PR but is really just another assistant

Burns may be OK, I'm not sure

Sanderson has an excellent pedigree including two premierships

Hinkley's been around a while

Richardson - don't know anything

Sumich just an assistant

Cameron just an assistant

Craig a good mentor perhaps

Williams no way

Hence if MFC decides against an experienced coach, or can't get one, Sanderson is the quiet achiever of the group.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
