Brett Lovett Quits as Casey Coach


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Great shame. From a complete outsiders perspective he got the best out of the Casey players and also worked well with the current Melbourne coaching staff. It can't be an easy gig to coach your own team to the top of the ladder whilst also having to work with a dominant partner whose interests may not coincide with your own

Brett (we used to call him "Dontcha" which seemed clever at the time) is one of my all time favourite players. If he had the inclination also believe that he would make an excellent assistant at AFL level

Havnt read the article because of stupid herald sun and there subscription. But anychance of getting him as a part time assistant at the dees? 20 hours a week could make a real diffirence keeps him involved in footy, allows him more time with his family and sounds like he has the ability to get the most out of players (something we have lacked for a longtime)

I don't have a Hun subscription and I got the whole article.

I just clicked on the link then and it worked strange? Anyway my theory of him being a part time assistant won't work after reading the article. Good luck to him and hope young jake is as good as his old man another father and son would be handy.

Here is a perfect example of why the alignment does not work.

A coach works his Butt off to get a "good" side (not great) to the top of the ladder, but come September when players are really needed...They are not available.

What is the point?

STAND ALONE MFC RESERVE SIDE PLEASE.

Did you read the article mate? Maybe try that first before commenting.

I really don't see why this news has ANYTHING to do with what you're saying. He's quit for family reasons and because the job takes up too much time, not going to coach anywhere else.

Also, it doesn't matter if it's a stand alone or affiliate team, MFC players will always take precedence.

Its got everything to do with it. How many hours were put in for no reward. Not seeing family & then come September BANG. Finished.

Casey has lost it's past 8 finals. Who would want the job?

Time to wave goodbye.

WYL...give it a rest....this was a thread to thank Brett Lovett for his efforts which most have done, except you see it as yet another opportunity to bag everything about MFC AGAIN........we know....there is a smalll group on this board who just want to be negative constantly.........

A an absolute stalwart in defence for the Dees, who got everything out of himself as a player, and it seems that as a coach he was able to get the very best out of his players. Did a fantastic job with Casey, particularly given that he only coached on a part-time basis. I'm sorry to see him go, but I greatly admire him for his decision and the reasons behind it.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
