If we are serious about excellence then we must start at the top with someone who knows what excellence and success is. Brian Cook helped build the WC Eagles to a powerhouse and has done the same with Geelong.

You can never build anything of value without having a strong foundation.

Get Cook.

    Would be a massive pick up for the Club, but can't see it happening.

    If, and it's a bit IF, the right position was vacant at the end of the year, what are the thoughts of us chasing Ben Buckley? I don't know a huge amount about him - pretty sure FFA headhunted him and the AFL were disappointed that he left. Others will no doubt have a more educated opinion, so if you do, I would like to learn from with you giving facts/reasons for your beliefs.

    A good suggestion re Buckley but I think we really need the best, someone with the runs on the board and that is Cook.

    Totally agree with Cook, but is that like hoping Ablett will decide that the MFC is the place where he wants to play in 2013?

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
