Then who on earth is left for port?

Eade and now Ratten out leaves newbys only

Wallace, but what about a smokie? Is Rendell worth 2 Yrs as they repopulate that list?

As reported in the HUN seems he is heading to the Gold Coast, hope our boys have a chat with him about the midfield position.

Probably rather be involved in a team heading towards finals rather than a team that will battle for the next 5 years (you decide whether I'm referring to Port or us).

not great news for the power, obviously and also reports coming out that Burns and Cameron are pulling their names out of contention

Bails?

While I think Port would be better served interviewing the silver-haired old chook in the crowd who gets shown on camera at every Port home game, I'm pretty sure I read Bailey wasn't interested.

Rumor going around Neal Daniher is a chance...

I'd be really happy for Neale if he got the job, he did a good job for us while he was here.

Wow. Would have thought Burns would jump at any chance to coach at the top level.

i would love to see him come to the club! he was a good coach at carlton and i feel he was very unlucky to be sacked as carlton were dominating early in the year before injuries hit them. he would be a great addition to our new coaching team :)

Hypothetically speaking - Lets hope this mess continues into trade month.

I think good assistants who see themselves as 'career' coaches are far more discerning nowadays. They know that no matter how good they think they are, that an awful 2-3 years at a struggling, poor club can effectively kill your career.

No wonder after the way Neeld was treated in the media this year.

I doubt its worth it.

He has a avoided the senior job with one basket case. Why would he take a lesser role at another basket case?

Thats a very sage thought. I think that would apply to how attractive MFC is to potential midfield coaches. Given the crud cattle we have why would anyone willingly take on a death sentence?

    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
