    I'm so hoping for Hagdorn to write an article titled "Melbourne to not win the AFL premiership in 2012".

    Huh, interesting. I wanted us to recruit him when he left North. I was Howled down around Here.

    Hard @ the contest.

    He'd be a good Get.

    Freak of reality? No, somebody with his powers of anti-oracle cannot be replicated.

    Freak = Kim Hagdorn

    I'd welcome him to the club! Good quality Gippsland boy from Heyfield.

    His old man works with my old man and has played a few rounds of golf with Leigh. He is switched on and has a good knowledge of the game!

    Gippy

    Eventually they've got to get one right but based on the fact that he's a CONTENDER and COULD get the job they're probably just making it up as always

    I just hope Hagdorn breaks his duck and guesses right on this one. I quite like the idea Leigh Brown (just a gut feeling, nothing substantive to base it on) and I especially like he concept of our assistant line coaches having direct responsibility for the same lines under the Head Coach at Casey. Logical but innovative in AFL ranks as far as I'm aware.

    A million Kims and a million keyboards?

    You forgot the good old "it's understood" with no quotes mentioned or names dropped.

    It's footy's equivalent of New Idea. Friends/insiders/amazed fellow dinners/sources/confidants etc..

    Would it be possible or likely that he will stay at the filth in a coaching role? I'm starting to warm to the idea of Hudgton coming over.

    Yeah, start a Rumour/SNF thread on the main board.

    I thought this bit was interesting

    The Demons are understood to be planning appointment of a specialist development assistant to each designated line coach under Neeld.

    The assistant to each defensive, midfield and forward line coach will also be directly responsible to that zone with Melbourne’s VFL affiliate club Casey Scorpions under senior coach Brad Gotch.

    Sounds like we'll have more say in the structure Casey plays with, if, by some miracle, Hagdorn has got that right.

    I think he is a short prized favourite to join us.

    Yeah, I thought that was interesting too.

    Lol we'll have a coach for every player soon enough.

    That's true. But we've gone for a structure that has 2 coaches per line (forward, mids, backs) and we've still got a defensive position to fill under Rawlings and Brown might be a worthwhile person to fill that role, we've also got a forwards coach to work above Satterley.

    I Like the Idea of Brown coming across.

    So do I. Knows Neelds plan, knows how to get the best out of himself and plays a tough, hard and unsociable brand of football, which doesn't make him popular to the public but I think he's well regarded by his teammates. He's also done a bit of TAC coaching work. Also it's not like our backline are old, it's only really Rivers, Macdonald, Garland and Frawley who have probably played on him much. I'm sure he can earn the respect of those guys whilst working with our other defenders. Smart football brain, communication skills and work ethic are the important things, if he has them he'll probably do well.

    Paul Roos called Leigh Brown the worst AFL player to ever play 200 games and I don't disagree with him. Apart from being big he has next to no ability; is poor below his knees and doesn't specialise in any one area- he just roams all of them.

    This is turn for me suggests 'no' as a coach.

    Any player de-listed by the Kangaroos should not coach Melbourne Football Club.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
