Right now if we needed to pick the new coach tomorrow it would be an interim President leading a lame duck board with an interim CEO who will be gone in less than 18 months. Josh Mahoney trying out for his own job as footy ops manager.

So how are we meant to for the committee to make the next selection.

I'd say at this stage our best bet is to work out who is going to be on the new board and make sure our football director from the board is established. However I'm not sure it's feasible to have a new board established before the coach decision process needs to start.

So at the moment Greg Healy is football director and I'd be making sure that his commitment is ongoing regardless of who else comes on to the board. Approach Kennett and say who do you have for your board and will you commit to Greg Healy.

We will then be sticking with Peter Jackson as well so he'd have a spot on the new coach committee.

Then the next question is who else do we need on the committee, do we need further football knowledge from players or coaches and do we need a sports psychologist? Can we get a football operations manager in place before the coaching search happens or do we wait and get someone the new coach can work with.

I'd say the following could form the committee:
Peter Jackson (CEO)

Greg Healy (Director -football)

Cameron Ling (recent retired player with knowledge of game trends and also outstanding leader)

Sports psychologist

Surely before convening it is a matter of Jackson calling Clarkson and Roos, then getting rebuffed, and then calling Williams and if rebuffed again, then we can convene a panel...

That would be the most straightforward way to do it. We must try all of the best options first - leave no stone unturned.

I would suggest, if that is the process adopted, welcome to the MFC Choco.

I'd be adding John Worsfold to that list....

Add Eade to that list...this one won't go through a committee I would suggest it will come from a short list of who is available. None of Roos, Clarkson, Eade or Williams will need to run the old powerpoint.

Find the constant G Lyon bashing on here now a bit over the top. People forget that this appointment was very well received when announced. People thought Neeld was going to be the saviour, they liked his attitude and was impressed with everything he said, these are the same people that now bag him, I'm sure Garry and the others thought the same thing,this was a coach in waiting, a Malthouse clone, who was destined to coach a senior team.. It has not worked..

Put your hand up, be honest, who thought the Neeld appointment was a great one.. I'm tipping a lot.

Hindsight is great!

I'd love if we got Choco, however why would he leave Richmond where he has a good thing going and has surely just started a new contract?

It's regularly reported that assistant coaches have a clause in their contract which allows it to be broken if they are offered a senior coach position. If Mark Williams wants to be a senior coach again, presumably his contract has this clause in it.

AND

Gary Lyon didn't select Neeld expecting the walls to collapse around the club within 24 months and would justifiably have had as much positive expectation as Geelong had with an unproven Scott brother

Does Roos actually work for the Swans now?

If not, and if he doesn't want the gig, we should go after him to be on the committee.

He's a smart guy and he would coax out the right people and show we are finally on the right track.

I wanted Roos, or Matthews... but in the end I was satisfied with who we went with, thinking Neeld was well recommended by Malthouse... & PS: I did not want malthouse.

but I wanted a Coach who could change the clubs culture... thats why I thought Roos was the best fit for the MFC...

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
