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!

I wonder if it was Kim that was the only one who had a dramatic turn.

Will there be another turn and another article...lol...stay tuned.

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: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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
