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

    We need a proven midfield coach

    Playing coach for 1 year, ala James MacDonald at GWS?

    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.

    Get him and Jimmy to the club. We could do a lot worse than these 2

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
