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.

... 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?

LOL are you Adam from Twitter?

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
