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...

    ... 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

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
