Was just thinking about this possibility, and who will be our competition to snag the coach we want.

At this stage I think Brisbane would be the only definite club looking for a new coach, I cant see Voss being there past this season. He has been poor to say the least.

West Coast would be another, as the rumblings are fairly strong that Worsfold will walk away at seasons end but he might stay on, who knows.

Outside chance might be the Saints or Doggies if they capitulate to MFC-like levels in the seasons 2nd half. Watters and McCartney aren't exactly setting the world on fire.

Guy McKenna will surely continue at Gold Coast, and Leon Cameron is locked in at GWS.

    How about Collingwood if Eddie's love child doesn't produce the goods?

    At this stage West Coast look more likely than not, Brisbane a decent chance and if Richmond fall in a heap is Hardwick not out of contract, although Richmond seem to be going ok.

    Could just be us and West Coast and in that case you'd think we'd go for the experienced coach where as I'd see West Coast looking at the inexperienced options. I don't think they'd be interested in Eade or Williams and I'm not sure Paul Roos would be keen on going to Perth although they could make him a big offer.

    You would think Sumich would be the obvious candidate if Worsfold walks, especially after getting a different look under Lyon, although will the club and the fans be able to forgive him going to the enemy in the Dockers?

    West Coast appear certainties; there's been talk of Worsfold stepping down.

    If Richmond don't make the finals, especially given where they are now (7-4 with some easy games to come), the pressure on Hardwick will be enormous.

    Brisbane and Voss might be a possibility - 10 wins last year, won the NAB Cup, but donuts in the season proper.

    I think we'll be the only side looking for a coach, which is good for us.


    It's highly unlikely that Voss isn't given another year, he is their best ever player and captain.
    The Lions will continue to surround Voss with experienced people and get their board right.

    West Coast won't change their coach, it's not like Woosha is really struggling - it's more a case of injuries for WC,

    If Woosha isn't there it will be because he doesn't want to be.

    Other than that, we are the only side looking for a coach.

    At least we have the walk up start. No timetable pressure. Can do a proper search

    Are Otway Districts still in the Demons strip, jazza?

    My guess is WCE, Brisbane Lions and GWS will have new coaches next year.

    I think it would be highly unlikely if West Coast were looking for a new coach that they would go for an experienced coach (unless it was Danihar). I look at how Geelong has worked with Scott coming in as a "freshman", and think that other successful clubs would follow a similar path. The Eagles have a solid group that would just need a slight tinkering initially, and a newbie is more likely to do that than someone that is a "career coach".

    I am doubtful that Voss will get the arse this year.

    GWS obviosuly has a new coach next year, with that change not hindering our search for obvious reasons.

    I can't see any other changes and would expect we have a free crack at the field. Could be perfect timing for us to going through this total football club rebuild.

    The rumblings over here in the west is Worsfold is a certainty to go. Voss I would suggest might get next season. I can't see Buckley going as was suggested, Eddies ego wouldn't allow it

    Any rumblings about a Woosha replacement?

    As I said above, I don't think it will be an experienced coach. That said, if Woosha goes, it just adds another candidate to our impressive list.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
