Leigh Brown to Melbourne

Hagdorn kiss of death - guaranteed not to happen now.

Yes.

He is the Freak of reality...

 

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.

Coaches are not Pokemon.

We don't need all 150.


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.

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
