Scott Burns with Neil Craig


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

I meant an experienced smokey... Matthews etc. Something outside the box.end of the market is very narrow

That end of the market is very narrow. Mathews has no passion for the cut and thrust any more...its all cushy cushy and thas fair enough

Gary Ayres would be a very smoked smokey ,then there's..... ummmm..

I think this is very simple Math this time round. Reaching to the top shelf theres not to omany to choose from.

Leigh Matthews with a Scott burns type as assistant maybe.

Just what I was thinking! This is purely left field thought but Matthews would bring a similarly high profile angle to the club as Roos. Although I don't think he and Mitch Clark see Eye to eye...

Matthews and Ayres, I wouldn't be crying in my coco pops.

Unfortunately i can't see any way we could convince Mathews, a coaching panel with Williams, Ayres, craig and Ling would be fantastic though!

The thing is I want a Winning Melbourne to bring the higher profile for the club. I want a good coach to bring the wiinning....not the profile.

If we win , it will come.

Couldn't agree more, our new coach needs to get the boys excited, they're talented players, get a few wins and a few blokes might re-sign and the feeling can change very quickly,

while i understand we have been awful this year, i don't agree with the perception we are in a deep dark hole that we can't escape, the right coach will get us playing much better football in 2014. That might not mean we play finals, but it may well mean that we have a reason to get excited about going to the games again, the boys get excited about their association with MFC, and Demonland might be a much nicer place haha.

Would it?

Instead of throwing talented individuals at a problem and finding roles for them later, we should define the role and attempt to get the people that suit that role the best.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
