Get Matthew Lloyd as a coach?

[Guest Jackie]

Yes! I like his football brain.

If he really has a football brain he would never have anything to do with us.

[rpfc 28,432]

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...

[Range Rover 1,935]

Bad, bad Leroy Brown ... the baddest man in the whole damned town.

Exactly what we needed.

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.

[Adam The God 30,259]

Didn't Brian Royal have one year left on his contract?

Yeah, Neeld didn't pick him.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Yeah, Neeld didn't pick him.

Will Royal survive?

[McQueen 17,864]

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

[Adam The God 30,259]

Surely not. Would love Mick in there somewhere.

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?

[Waltham33 475]

Have not had time to follow him this year. Last year he impressed me with his insights that in many cases were ahead of the curve.

[Bristling T 11]

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

[Norm Smith's Curse 2,602]

Surely not. Would love Mick in there somewhere.

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

What irony.

Your comments.

Coleman medals, premierships, media career etc.

You?

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.

[jumbo returns 6,741]

As opposed to the acts of Leigh Matthews as a player? He turned out to be a fair coach......4 flags, I think?

[Guest José Mourinho]

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 ?
