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.

    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 :)

    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

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

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

    Happy with Neeld and Laidley combination.

  • Quote

    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.

    Mick Malthouse

    Dean Laidley

    Rodney Eade

    Mark Neeld

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
