    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.

    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.

    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: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
