If we need better assistant coaches then Neil Craig will inform the club.

We have very little idea of how line coaches are travelling. The buck doesn't stop with them, and they aren't the ones floundering on the field.

But I'd take Lloyd.

I'd put the weak-kneed fairy at FF...

I think Royal will be gone next year, and we might even see Greaves step into his position.

I have some personal experience with him and really rate the guy.

I understand the footy dept do too.

Thanks! Great post. Best laugh I've had in years.

You humour too easily.

Lloyd's record is far superior to Leigh Browns. That includes 3 Coleman medals.

People are too quick to write him off as a self-indulgent know-it-all..

I rate him and would welcome him at the Demons.

Matthew Lloyd, the most robotic man imaginable as our coach? I'd rather him come out of retirement to play for us

I think the idea is to possibly have him providing some input.

If I can borrow a line from Rhino Richards, "thanks for missing the point."

I would think the most sensible approach would be to hire a coach that has just left the AFL system

Brown IMO was a good choice

Champion's on the field has very little to do with being able to teach and analyze football

The bulldogs coach is a good example of that

IMO Ling would be the first person i would have approached

It is far from the problem on the field this season

The problem with Melbourne is WORK RATE

When you see it we are competitive when you don't we get smashed

You cannot coach attitude

Ling wanted time away from the game but he would be the first person I would approach next season as midfield coach.

Lloyd's 2 greatest 'acts' of strength would have to be sniping knocking out Sewell, and attempting to knock out Woewodin (but missing and knocking out Blake Caracella instead).

What football advice could he provide? Stand in the goalsquare and get Hird, Long, etc to kick the ball to you and have it hit you on the chest every time.

Also, why on earth would we hire a forward coach when the ball never gets in there, and when it does it is at the feet of the 200cm+ full forward we have bought?

LOL. A bloke who can barely string 2 words together?

Watching his 'reviews' I get the feeling he has written them on a napkin the night before and had a glance through the dictionary as not to sound like a full retard.

This bloke is a waste of space, being a good player doesn't make you a good media analyst. And especially doesn't make you a good coach.

Love,

The Farce

What irony.

Your comments.

Coleman medals, premierships, media career etc.

You?

Even Mick took a long time at Collingwood. And Im sure Neeld talks to his old mate a fair bit.

Mick is apparently around the club. According to his comments during the Geelong game, he's mentoring Davey.

Lets not forget his courage when smashing in the face of Hawthorn 3rd gamer Thurgood with his fibreglass 'arm guard'.

Not sure the kid ever played again.

Not around the club, Davey just meets Mick for a coffee occasionally, usually at his house, from what I have heard.

Get Billy onboard - he can start the 'get your D's out for the Dees' chant again (Yep, in 2005 two girls in a van flashed their boobs after a Demons win at the G and boy did it cap off a good night).

Shows us how little we know about what these guys can and cant deliver.I have always thought of Brownless as a buffoon. Yet Stevie J credits him for single handedly making him the player he is today.Hey Billy - wanna take Col Sylvia under your wing ?

    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

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
