The rich get richer.

That's right. Hawks also signed up a new irish guy as an international rookie. Surely the richer clubs will eek out more of an advantage with better and more coaches, more international rookies, better and more recruiters... arrgh...

Thats one that got away I think,though he possibly wouldnt have wanted to come back to the bottom of the ladder again

Anyway all is not lost, MFC apparantly have managed to retain the multi experienced Brian Royal.

 

Not bothered. Am sure if the club thought he was worth pursuing we would have. We didnt muck around getting others

Having said that i want a better performng midfield. How much of that is purely the cattle and how much the muster.well we'll know next year.

For some reason there are supporters who think we have to collect everyone !!


Most of MFC's coaches are actually inexperienced in their roles....except for Brian Royal.

So the jury is still out on most of them I guess,

Based on Tom McDonald's (and to a lesser extent Watts when he was down back) development, Rawlings' ability seems encouraging. Hopefully Strauss, Bennell, Tapscott or whoever else the FD have earmarked as the core defensive group continue to show improvement.

Now he can sit on the bench and punch the air after every goal, shouting 'Go Hawks'....what a numbnut.

He had no idea how to coach.

Clearly has a fair idea how to coach.


Ratten is a absolute bonus for Hawks. They'll be happy to be rid of Cameron. All I ever hear coming out of Leon Cameron's mouth is and um, and ahhh, you know...about a hundred times and UMMMMM. Media has been building Cameron up for the past 5 years. Poor GWS...suffer in ya jocks!

??????? for real or what...or not?? get a grip Jumbo

He was never a chance for us.

Ratten didnt want the only head coach role going this year at Port.

The next best option was the assistant coach at Hawthorn.

Go figure.

You havent got a clue. Cameron had good results with the Hawks midfield who were close to the premier midfield in the comp. Who gives a rats clacker about how he handles 30 second sound bites as he runs off the ground.

Looks like the MFC is Backing it's coaches and changing the cattle.

Most of them are contracted and were appointed 12 months ago. If there was an issue with the coaching the investigation should start from the top.

Please do not be true. OMG how can we keep doing the same thing over again....


Yeah a bit sad about ratten, was hoping that he might have come and coached our midfield, but maybe would be a power struggle between neeld and ratts. Would want to bring in proven coaches from successful teams so even if melbourne could snare bassett as an assistant coach.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
