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.

 

Eade- Yes

Laidley- Maybe

Malthouse- Yes

Burns- No

Sanderson- No

Hinkley- No

Sumich- No

Neeld- Maybe

Richardson- No

I reckon we need to throw the kitchen sink and everything else at Bomber Thompson.

I'd say that's a longer shot than malthouse.

Now that would be a big fish.

Don't think anyone in the footy world would see that happening!

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!

But could we afford to keep him supplied with gourmet sangers on match day??!


Even though I'm not for it, Neil Craig is still out there. My preference is Malthouse or Sanderson.

I think they will look at Mark Williams and he should be on this list.

Where's the Brian Royal option ?

surely a joke?

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 :)

Added Williams & Craig to the list. No Brian Royal sorry....

big fish indeed.....he looks like a snapper

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.

How do you know Ross Lyon is staying at St.Kilda??

Until its announced, i very much doubt it

Burns is a risk, but who knows, he could be the next big coach....


Is there any actual confirmation that Ross has signed with StKilda?

Still can't find confirmation about Lyon. Thought HUN boys would be all over it.

Happy with Neeld and Laidley combination.

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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
