At training today, it was great to see the coaching staff really getting amongst skill practice sessions, doing such work now whilst in the last few years we would be doing this type of grainy in late January.Seems a great relationship between coaches themselves and the relationship b/w players & coaches.

He's actually a human being trying to learn from his mistakes. That's how I'd like to paint it.

I can't believe there are 8 posts about callouses, and even worse, people still having differing views. Please Round 1, 2012, HURRY THE F-UP!

It wouldn't surprise me, based on the appointments so far, if we have 2 coaches per line. A head line coach, like Royal, who is more tactical, providing most of the current roles of an assistant coach

One major thing I have observed in the last few weeks is the rejuvenation of the likes of Brian Royal & Todd Viney at training . Todd seems to be giving the insight info to Mark Neeld whilst Brian seems to take a major part of the training drills. Even when the players are doing their 400 metre run throughs Brian is there really encouraging all. He also seems to be thriving back as the midfield coach,a major pivotal part of the development of this club.

The new coaches are certainly leaving an imprint on the club's recruiting as evidenced by today's rookie draft:-

• Jai Sheahan won the best and fairest this year with Geelong Falcons under coach Aaron Greaves who is now midfield assistant coach at Melbourne.

• Tom Coach, an on baller from Collingwood VFA. Mark Neeld was midfield coach with the Magpies this year.

• James Magner, from Sandringham Zebras in the VFL, where he won the best and fairest this year under coach Brett Lovett. He also played at Frankston under Lovett.

I don't know if anyone who coached Leigh Williams at Norwood EFL has a job at Melbourne but there are plenty of new coaches at the club so one might put his hand up to claim him.

I noticed this as well, as i think many would have, one of the real big benifits we get when a new coach comes in and changes things up, and shakes the cage a little bit.

One of the major benefits from taking coaches form the lower leagues, they know who can play because they coach against them in the TAC and VFL alot, also they see the under rated players who have missed the normal system.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
