I think the big story in this is Kennett's comments... Extremely poor even for him.

Roos, Clarkson, Choco WIlliams

All 3 are premiership coaches, andf the Demons should be doing eveytthing in their power to land one of them

If Clarkson was appointed to MFC in a coaching capacity, we'd need 10 plasterers on stand-by.

Might need a whole suite of tradies to rebuild after the demolition crew have cleaned up the mess.

This is not all that unrealstic

Buddy is almost certain to leave

Hawthorn has and ageing midfield Mitchell 30 Sewell 29 Burgoyne 29 Hodge 28

I say watch this space, Clarko is a smart man and he will already be putting his best intrest firsts, just like Mr Ross Lyon get out of there at the right time!

Maybe Clarko can bring a few players in like Neeld did with Dawes... Cyril? Sewell? Buddy?

If Demonland was a country, we'd be Japan.

We'd appoint a new Prime Minister every second week of every year.

Amateur hour at its best.

What rock did you crawl out from? Can you read? The experts almost always said Neeld was a very good coach-in-waiting before his appointment. Anyone who has been coached by him or who supervised his coaching has praised him. Do you not remember that we threw the bank at Clarkson and he wouldn't budge. Roos virtually laughed at us, and has been a strong MFC critic for a long time. And as for Mark Harvey, bwahahaha! The guy can barely make a 3 word sentence.

One thing I will agree with you is that you definitely are wrong.

Typical response around here to turn things into a personal attack and bung on about other posters being wrong.

I encourage constructive conversation, one thing thing entire board needs to get away from - is attacking other posters and belittling them.

Very disapointed.

Mate, you are wrong. Don't turn it into something else.

Mark Harvey..... still makes me giggle!

Remnds me of the science teachers we kept getting rid of in grade 9. It was a challenge to see how quickly we could get them to take off on stress leave. 1-2 months was the norm.

If Neeld sticks fat than we might be alright, and it's about all we can hope for at this point.

Isn't Kevin Sheedy out of a job at the end of the year????? While you are all still laughing just remember Junior Mac has been his assistant for 2 years now and may well want to return to MFC in a coaching capacity

when will you all learn?

we'll just go thru coach, after coach, after coach, til finally we return to pounds & shillings & pence.

It Is Not The Coach....

It IS the Culture.

We lost it in the mid sixties.

got some back from Barassi/Jordan enjoyed that for 6 or so years until those players were finishing....

and then it started to wane again.

Its poor admin & coaching that has been a constant throughout for nearly 20 Years.

we are on the right track, but we are short of leaving the tunnel.

Is anyone sober around here?

He's not going anywhere, Jeff couldn't get rid of him when he was Prez he's got no power to do it now.

I remember in 1981 we got the best Coach in the Country, our own Ron Barassi back and we won the spoon. After 5 years as Coach we were still crap.

I will say this for the last time, players make the Coach. Get a decent list and we will improve even if Julia Gillard coached us. At the moment we have the worst list in the AFL.

Pray to God that the new recruiting manager is good at his job, because the last one ( BP ) was hopeless.
