  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

I posted this in the Neil Craig thread, but this is how I read it;

"Neeld said there would be at least eight full-time coaches at the club next season, which “stacks up very well with the best clubs going around”.

So I make the organisational structure (in terms of who they are reporting to) to crudely look something like this:

MFC Board

\/

CEO (Cameron Schwab) / Football Director (Lyon (for now))

\/

Director of Sports Performance (Neil Craig)

\/

Senior Coach (Neeld) / Elite Performance Manager (Misson) / General Manager Player Devt & Strategy (Viney)

\/

Backline Coach (Rawlings / Midfield Coach (Royal) / Forward Coach (yet to be apptd??)

\/

Backs Asst Coach (?) / Mids Asst Coach (Greaves) Devt Fwd Line Coach (Satterley)

And also:

General Mgr Club Devt (Connolly)

Football Manager (Mahoney)

Developement Coach (O'Donnell)

Innovations Coach (Dunbar)

General Manager List Devt (Harrington)

Recruitment Manager (Prendergast)

Who i dont know where they fit in in terms of who they are reportable to (as the above would be).

That leaves forwards coach and assitant to backline coach vacant...

I think you have the org. chart you stated above.However every line coach will have an IT person as well.Neil Craig confirmed the above on air (AW) tonight.

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

I don't know if it's just the yearly off season feel good kicking in, but I have to say I'm liking the smell of what's cooking at the club at the moment.

Fingers crossed the meal turns out as good as the smell wafting from the kitchen.

Absolutely!!!

I like the transformating of our Clubs Leadership structures...

Next: the Captain & players.

I'm sure there will be a clear structured OBS with clearly defined roles.

One thing I like the word professionalism being used over and over again by our new additions.

What I wonder is what impact the Andrews Report has had on this restructuring?

Surely it hasn't all come from Neeld himself.

But then again, we shelved that report and ignored its findings, didn't we?

Didn't we?

Caro...?

Well said, was just thinking the same thing myself.

Wow.

I thought it was too good to be true, didn't believe it til I heard it.

NC on 3AW just confirmed each line coach will have an assistant coach, and also an IT guy.

Talk about heavily resourced.

This is cutting edge compared to what we had, maybe compared to any other club.

Leigh Brown possible defensive coach of 2012

http://www.sportsnew...h-at-melbourne/

Discussions have well & truly taken place but IMO he is most likely northbound due to top offer .Would really like him at Demonland though. The forward coach intrigues me with no insight at this stage. Trying desperately to find out though.

The one thing I take from Hagdorn's article, is that the assistant line coaches are to have a role at Casey too.

They will act as Gotch's line coaches.

This may in fact circumvent the issues we've had in not having our own VFL team rather than an affiliate in Casey's case.

The assistants will be able to ensure the correct message is getting across and that it is consistent with what we want to employ at AFL. It will streamline the step up between the 2 levels.

Can only be a good thing.

The only problem I see with this is your hypothesis stems from a Hagdorn 'scoop'...

The guy is guessing, and you are guessing on his guessing.

If anyone guesses on your guessing from his guessing we would enter a 3rd level of guessing and risk being stuck in limbo...

Fair call rfpc.

I was *this* close to editing the post, prefacing it all with a disclaimer, but didn't bother.

Bust surely if he is correct, then it would have the same effect as actually having our own VFL club, without the added cost and liability.

Forward Coach Barry Hall. Would put some sh-t into them and knew how to play the position. We could then draft Fev and he could warn him one misdemeanor and he would knock his block off.

Seeing that Fev is going down to Warnambool to visit our former boxing coach - Ryan.. both maybe able to join Demonland as Forward/Boxing coaches.Barry would certainly harden them up,this would suit Neeld.

Is anyone else a bit disappointed that we haven't announced any new coaching appointments in the past 24 hours?

:lol:

Not sure if you're joking, but I have come to expect announcements every few days and get disappointed if there isn't one! Its going to be a loooooong offseason.

Was actually thinking a bit about the coaches to be named today while waiting for beer in the bullring at quarter time...

Although I nominated Leigh Brown and Brady Rawlings as defensive development coach, looking at the other 2, it is more likely to be someone that has some experience in developing juniors.

Probably someone the majority have not even heard of.

Mooney would be another handy one as well.

I hope whoever we go for that they bring some physicality to the Dee culture.

And our Forwards. I'm sick of people whinging about Us being beaten Up. It's time we did our own Heavy work.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
