What about David Neitz? Why is his name never mentioned as a possible candiate to do something cool for the club? Also they need James McDonald back... as midfield coach?

Love Ox he was the best player Ive seen in the red and blue... never forget the day at Telstra Dome he took out a boundary ump via a freo player (awesome memory haha)

Would love to see someone of the caliba of Ox or Neitz take controll of the situation did he say hes deffently in?

At least the Ox is keen to help GL should take note.

"I love the club and it’s very hard to sit back and see the hurt so many Melbourne supporters are going through," said Schwarz, who co-hosts SEN’s late afternoon show "The Run Home."

Can people just forget about Gary Lyon - its doing my head in. He's not interested and the help he's given us already has resulted in 1 failed coaching experiment and another that looks destined for the toilet. The more we ask people for help that don't have the time or simply do not want to help the more desperate and silly we look. We need people who have the time to devote to the club and will do a great job, not just an ex player for name sake!

Neita is a nice guy, good footballer, sort of shy type.. apparently doing work about the club

Schwarta is a more outgoing type with some flair to take things on head on... this would be very handy now as the club has gone into its shell.

... and he would be great, to have a whisper in Hogans ear as well.

In actual fact we have sacked the likes of Pike, Farmer, and others who were risk takers.... & our failing has been we're too conservative & go into our shells 2 the drop of a 20 cent piece.

We should forget about the all time favourites who have taken us nowhere, & look to the types we perennially crap on.... can I mention a few names we've rejected... Sheedy, Matthews, Pike, Farmer was frowned on, Schwarta was frowned on, Alan Jakovich was also frowned on but we couldn't do without him,...

We as a club have turned our back on many people who could have supplied the Energies & Spirit we Lack...

IMO its the Conservative set up North-MCG, that kill this club.

Silk purse's & Sows Ears.....

girls to Men, unlikely.

man to man, he can put some wisdom into a wide eyed talent who's ego may lead him astray along the journey.

anyone who wants to play like a girl, in a Senior mans League, deserves the respect of that.

no more wasted talents.

The key thing - people love The Ox and he loves Melbourne. Lets get him down pronto.

Now he is a guy with a bit of passion and grunt! not afraid to say whats on his mind in the mould of a jeff Kennett!

I don't know the inside word of it, but I got a distinct feeling that he was on the outer for some time, before he finally ended up over West... its time these things stopped happening to the MFC..

Farmer was a genuine talent, & we should be able to make these situations workout into a good result, instead of always parting ways with match winning types who have inspired the club.

We should be able to do what the Cats have done with Stevie Johnson & others they had issues with... We need to grow in many ways, & we need to lose the crap don't stink ways.

And I'm talking the likes of Pike & farmer & others i can't think of right now. Not flashee types that hit like a mosquito & fly away like Peregrine.. like some very recently.

If a player is a handful, we should be able to manage him well enough to instill disciplines into his game early in his career...

Regards the senior AFL people, like Sheedy & Matthews,,, too many gifthorses have passed under our elevated noses.

Exactly what is it about this club and its Messiah complex?

No one is going to magically fix the club all have to contribute focus strategy and hard bloody work!

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
