If I were king for a day, I would do the following,

Elect Gerard Healy as president.

Todd viney as vice president

Greg healer as CEO

Mick malthouse as coach

Neeld as assistant coach

Ratten as midfield coach

Mission as fitness coach

B Lovett as backline coach

L. Brown as forward coach

Garry Lyon and Schwartz, our accomplished and proven voicepieces.

Intelligent passionate fearless winners.

We wear red and blue, we own the mcg, our heart is at the core of the games roots.

We were the pioneers, the first of the first.

We borrowed the game from our indigenous brethren,

Together we sweat blood on the old yarra mud, we wear the southern cross on our emblem.

We thank all that has been loyal before us,

For we are the tribe that are driven to hold the cup of gold over our home.

And keep it there.

So .... you'd appoint the "poor tradesman who blames his tools" (Neeld), the guy you've been ragging out on in ever second thread, as the club's assistant coach.

You are a goose. Nothing more needs be said.

I'd probably do something along the lines of switching Hawthorn's list for Melbourne's...

Have Faith No More play at the grand final both pregame and half time as the Dees win the flag in 4 years time.

More likely Mike Patton would show up with Mr Bungle or Tomahawk.

Still, it's a good idea and even half of Faith No More would be better than Meatloaf if only in sound not size.

If I were David King for a day, I'd consider retiring from all media gigs and start working as a fry cook, because that's all I'd be qualified to do.

Faith No More at the GF!!

Awesome!

Such a rocking band!

Mike Patton is the best voice I have heard & can sing pretty much any genre & loud.

Must admit I was surprised to see the original from Ton as well.

But Goose he may be and arent we all at some stage but this does reflect a more positive attitude from Ton

We need to show some tolerance when there is a softening of bile so lets just like it and hope the mood continues.

I think its also Ok to criricise one performance eg as coach and support a different role Eg asst so maybe the softening is only in my interpretation. Hope not and look forward to many more likes.

If Bungle reunited I could die happy.

Fantomas doing Delirium Cordia would be better than Meatloaf.

if i were king for a day id remove the playing group salary cap and replace it with a (large) football department one.

included in it would be the following

coaches

players

scouts/recruiters

football equipment

(facilities and their running costs - electricity etc - would NOT be included in this)

Can we have their coach and CEO as well? Would be much better than appointing a bunch of retired Melbourne players out of misguided sentimentality.

Actually, I think Gerard is the most intelligent bloke in the football media. Not loyal, but neither was barrassi, however, he would be a fine president indeed.

Nb. It is good to have a president in the media. Expanding the supporter and advertising network.

Lyon would have been good if he wasn't an ego maniac.

Pray tell, what is your criteria for a 'fine president'?

Not wearing a mankini on On The Couch?

Yeah - it's not like their coach played for Melbourne or anything.

I rate Clarkson as the best coach in the league, but wouldn't want to turn this into another Neeld bashing.

3AW every night. I listen to it on the way home. Very rarely do I disagree with Gerard, he is balanced, intelligent, fearless and he loves footy. Its just a matter of how much he loves the MFC.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
