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...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    It’s game day and the Demons face a massive test which may determine whether they have what it takes to play finals this season. The task has been made all the more difficult without their Premiership Captain Max Gawn.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PODCAST: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demonland Podcast will not be LIVE on this week. Binman will do his regular stats files segment and will preview the upcoming Essendon match but will not be taking any questions this week. I will post the show here once I receive Binman's stats files. You can also find it wherever you get your podcasts from. We will return in our regular format once I return after the Dockers match.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.
