Great work by the MFC. Very happy to have secured someone senior and experienced with great knowledge to oversee a relatively young coaching staff. Suck on it Tom Scully, enjoy Kevin Sheedy, you [cen

So with all the movement that has taken place, from a coaching point of view, what places still need to be filled?

Midfield has been taken care of/filled - Royal/Greaves

Royal moving to the midfield opens up for a new back-line coach and Mahoney moving into footy manager paths the way for a new forward coach too. Plus, Neeld might go after a senior assistant coach as well.

Maybe Craig might become the latter, maybe he won't. Good acquisition if he came on board, wouldn't be upset if he didn't. More curious as to who will fill the coaching roles of fwd/backline.

I disagree - Icke would be a greater asset than Craig. We are weak in this area , thus C.C moving to a totally new area & Mahoney hasn't even cut his teeth in his new role as Football Manager. Icke, if he came in would basically become C.S's deputy & designated CEO IMO.This is an area the club needs to strengthen & cover..

i think craig is still a great fit and would live him at the dees, the current coaching/admin staff have proved themselves when it comes to landing big names misson/neeld/rawlings (all with interest from other clubs), hopefully we see neil in the red and blue next year

Hagdorn is performing his usual routine, drawing long bows and making wild assumptions in a desperate attempt to look like had the inside word.

It may be a "shock" move to him, but according to the Herald Sun it has been expected for some time as Icke & Ratten don't see eye to eye.

We wait.

The way this is going we will have more off field personnel than players.

Hope we don't forget that these guys don't actually play!

Well I can't keep up. Michaelangelo Rucci claims we have won Neil Craig's aka Craig David's services and an announcement will be made today.

simma02, I quite like this sentence by Rucci.

NEIL Craig is ready to declare his future in AFL football ... and it is at Melbourne.
from that link.

He posted this at 12:20pm, Kim at 1:10pm. Must have clicked on Rucci's update...

Anyway.....well done Melbournefc.

This is a very good appointment for the MFC,

Craig is super experienced, as so many wanted after yesterday, and has specialties in fitness

Also a big win when 4-6 other clubs were after him

whether Craig is a beautiful fit for the jigsaw of MFC success, only time will tell. But what I do like is that good people are choosing to come to this footy club. The culture is changing...early days so far.

If it's true that we have beaten several other clubs and the AFL for his services it is an enormous pr win to us. It shows we are moving ahead and will leave no stone unturned in order to improve. The players must be excited with the new people coming in many of whom are leaders in their field.

    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.

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
