    Why does everyone assume a good player will make a good coach?

    We need a proven midfield coach

    Neeld was midfield coach of the pies when they won the flag. Our centre clearances against the tigers were good considering their talent.

    With regards to Black not every retired player has a brownlow and three flags to their name. There are no guarantees but an assistant couldn't hurt. I'm pretty sure we've got a couple of young mids who would love to pick his brain.

    Yes he could be valuable to have around the club but we can't just kick out Royal and replace him with an unproven/qualified coach.

    I hope we do try and bring him to the club but if we want him to be a midfield coach we should have him get some experience/training first

    This guy would bring immense knowledge and good culture to our playing list. I would have him in a heartbeat.

    Just make it happen and leave open the option of doing a GWS. Yes you can play as well if you are fit to play but we want you as a long term coach.

    It is called looking through rose colored glasses and purely based on assumption instead of demonstrated ability

    Our current Senior Coach was also a proven midfield coach at Collingwood

    See how hard it is to getting it right

    Scarlett as back coach, Black as midfield coach, Lloyd as forward coach, and Roos in charge... 3-5 years may not be required... If only... :)

    Wouldn't mind seeing Black as a Midfield coach and part time player next year, similar to Junior at GWS, still got some games in the legs.

    Even if it is an assistant to whoever is in the full role, he'd be a great asset to the club.

    I don't want Lloyd anywhere near our club, if we are going down the ex-player road give me Neita.

    Probably the smartest midfielder of the modern era and one of the most underrated players to ever play the game.

    Throw him a guernsey, midfield coach/player.

    You will never get Scarlett out of Geelong,Black out of Qld or Lloyd out of his own arse.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
