Doesn't sound like he is that keen

Matthews laughed off suggestions he would pursue the job and enter a 21st season as an AFL/VFL coach.

"No one's asked me and I'm not applying," he said.

"I've had my time as coach and I'm happy to live the rest of my life without the coaching cap on."

Sounds pretty definitive that he is not keen but until u ask him u never say never I suppose.

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 would say definitive would be like, "No, I'm not interested in coaching anymore", like someone who's retired might put it...

that would be convincing... so until then, never say never !

Anyone whos anyone will be given a call and sounded out. For no other reason to say it was done. That and you cant always predict what reactions might be.

That said I dont think Lethal has any passion for coaching now. He seems very settled into media. There's no risk there, just a nice cheque.

In 2012, he said he was interested in the MFC position, but was not contact by the club. It was on 3AW for everyone to hear. I know Gerard Healy was surprized to hear that, as I think all the listeners were surprized. 1 big royal [censored]-up.

Where did you source or hear him say he was "interested in the MFC position" Tone? Totally contradicts my memories of his responses during that period.

He may not have been contacted by the club but i recall him being asked twice about the MFC coaching role prior to Neeld being appointed. When asked on the first footy show panel (Chanel 7 Sunday Footy) if he was interested i recall him throwing his head back and laughing "No no no".

Then i think it was 3AW he was asked again about 5 days later (Friday night game i think), he said there's no way he would coach us "with the present imbeciles that were running the show there. There'd have to be an amazing change at the top" or something along those lines. The word imbeciles was definitely used. Usually not a sign of confidence in an organisation you might be considering joining.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
