A lot of other names been thrown around, but wondering if anyone else gives Choco any chance at the Melbourne job. I'm not ruling him out, and frankly, I reckon he's better than any other other options (ignoring the contracted options).

He's a premiership coach

He's working under the most experienced coach of all time. People will say Sheedy is past the game, but you can't deny he's smart, and a motivator. Skills which I believe will be crucial to the coaching job, which I think Williams already had, but will be enhanced through his work there.

Sheedy already said he wouldn't stop him going.

He's already spent a year specifically working with young players development.

anyone else as keen as me?

    Not really sure how i feel about it to be honest...

    Wouldn't be annoyed or angry about it....

    He does have the credentials...

    Just think that he is at GWS long term...

    Am sure he is on decent money there as well..

    I think the reality is that Williams will be the coach of GWS, and Sheedy will be a figure head for marketing. So no chance of getting a Senior coach to leave a club before his first year has started.

    Could he be the one that Garry Lyon directed the "make sure you have them all signed up" comment to GWS about?

  • Quote

    Well, if he is on the radar let's make sure we talk to him personally and not his management...

  • Quote

    ... because the MFC should be all over this now. They did drop the ball on Lyon to be fair..

    agree 100% I think Choco would be well worth looking at, He has experience & passion, with respect to any assistant coaches in the running I would much prefer someone that has done it before.

    GET CHOCO

    Just throwing this out there for whats it worth, has anyone from the Melbourne Football Club given Mark "Bomber "Thomson any thought

    Forgetting all the obvious problems he is a proven premiership coach and really isnt on the radar of other clubs . I know his feelings towards Essendon but as I said one from left field to possibly at least think about maybe at least ask the question?

    Would be good. Can't stand him though. Something grubby about him.

    He's head of my list of other experienced candidates, closely followed by Roos (laidley, Thompson, Matthews etc). Mainly because I can't think of any good reason why he wouldn't be a good coach for the club, and the fact that his position means he is coaching still, but not in the official position quite yet.

    I certainly support his antics

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
