Sorry , I can't get the vision out of my mind of Lethal king-hitting Peter Giles from behind .

May give the MFC players more insentive to train and player harder.

Rule 1 - Don't upset the Coach!

Before people shoot this thread down by saying it will never happen, please consider that he openly stated on radio that he was 'interested' in the melboune coaching position (2012) but was never appr

How sad that he wasnt even approached last time around, and we got Neeld instead. Two legends of the game we have burned (sheedy, matthews) and hired 2 absolute duds instead. The common denominator

I cannot stand the man, IMHO a real piece of s*#t.

I wonder how he would get on with the MCC committee and Steve Smith (future MCC president)!!!!!

Wait you are right, he is also an ex Collingwood coach!

Do we really want to go there again?

People saying no to Lethal have to get a grasp on reality. We are the lowest we've ever been and some are rejecting the idea of one of the greatest players and coaches to ever grace the field taking over! Unbelievable.

One of a number of options we should definitely be pursuing I think.

What a dog of a player he was, one of the dirtiest I've seen. Hated him with a passion after he whacked Smith in front of me.

Would love to have him as coach, badly wanted him to replace Bailey.

From memory he was Baileys mentor.

Truth is we should have gotten Lethal after Balme was sacked. I specifically remember an article in the Hun around that time where they asked potential coaches at that time what they thought about taking the job. Derm, being a head wobbler, said he would only take the job if there was a carrot the size of Ayers Rocks (eye roll). Lethal, to his credit, said he was prepared to listen. I think Neale was a decent coach for us but I reckon Lethal would have taken us all the way unlike ND who fell just short.

Get Him Now

Agree but would want an apprentice if u want to call it that to take over from in the future.

Who that would be not entirely sure at this stage but Burns has been spoken highly of in the past.

I would say there is a fair bit of diff between LM and the dud we have TBF.

A little ironic that you'd be decrying his tactics , whilst feting a total ball player with your name here- Grinter was far from an angel for all those too young to recall.

And for the record , I advocated Mathews as coach about a month ago

I cant get the vision of him winning flags out of my head

I have the same problem Waltham.

There is only one thing I need from the MFC and that is to be a winning team.

Beyond that I don't care

- who the players are, if they are first class citizens or if they kick their dog and swear at their mother.

- who is the coach

- who is the President

- how much involvement the AFL has in the running of the club

Just start winning games.

Imagine the quinella of Kennett as president and Matthews as coach.

Is that to much ego for one club to handle?

He also got Laurie Fowler from behind one day. Went off on a stretcher. Lethal was in the forward pocket and Fowler was niggling him all day. Fowler was about twenty yards out (Richmond end) watching up field and Lethal ran from behind and clocked him. He was indeed "Lethal".

Prefer Leigh over Sheeds,the dee establishment my find Leigh too overpowering,too many sookies around the club.

If P.Jackson wants J.Kennett for president are the supporters or more so power broker are going to put a stop to it. If so the club should go the way of the dinosaurs.......total extinction.

54 yrs as a supporter, no premierships, there is a very simple solution.Thank god I am not in charge of training,I would have to buy and endless supply of dunny rolls to mop up players tears.

p.s So would Leigh

Only a fool (or a melbourne supporter) would knock back a chance to get Matthews as a coach

No rocket science here

Hahahaha, I bet we don't even bother asking him.

If we go for another speculative pick, I think I'll be done caring for the MFC.

I don't suffer fools easily. The last 6 years has left me dumbfounded.

Time to learn from our mistakes and stop the reckless gambling. We need go for the sure bet.

If he's willing, we must give him the reigns. It's a sure bet.

It will be good for me, my son and the MFC community.

Please MFC, at least approach him. I don't think that is too much to ask.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
