I think having Eade as senior coach whom is known to be a great motivating coach and Neil Craig as a player development coach could work real well with our young list. Also having maybe a succession plan after say 5-6 years with a cam ling or James McDonald to take over.

I think unless Craig gets us to winning nearly every game he may get a look in but we are better off getting a quality coaching panel! Thoughts?

I'll take Eade, Chocko or Roos over Craig. All of them have won flags, he hasn't. I certainly have no problem with him staying at the club in that sort of role. It's pretty clear the players get on well with him.

Who did Eade coach to a flag?

Craig can't be hurting his chances, but for me it's

1.Roos

2.Eade

3.Craig

4.Willaims

any of the four would be a very good coach so we can afford to take the time to get this right

whats the point of that? eade > Craig,,, Craig > eade... "comme si comme sa"

If we can't get an A Grade premiership coach, then maybe Choco Williams..... but not Mr Vanilla..

This obsession about our chosen coach having to have won a flag previously is absolute rubbish. Robbie Flower never played in a final until his last season. Neither did Bobby Skilton. But Greg Madigan played in a Hawthorn Premiership side, and Aaron Keating for Adelaide. Who were the better players?!

Starting to think Id rather Neil Craig than either Eade or Choco.

Theres such a thing as continuity, and if Craig finishes off strongly and has the boys up and about then the only thing stopping him from coaching us in 2014 is Paul Roos accepting the job.

And theres rumors that Choco wouldn't work with Craig cos of their Port vs Adelaide days, not sure how true it is though.

Neither has Ross Lyon and he is the best in the business

Don't know about this. Don't think he'd have the Saints in the top 4 this year if he'd stayed.

He's clearly a very good coach - but I don't think he's the best in the business. Not yet at least.

In short, it was a sweet little sidestep to skip off to Freo when he did. And, relevantly, the Saints had a bloody good list for much of the time he was there - yet no flag.

Appointing Neil Craig as head coach with a Scott Burns type as a senior assistant with a succession plan to take over in 2 years may have real merit.

That would be true as Williams is too immature to be a Senior Coach.

I still remember how he carried on after his GF win about the Clubs sponsor.

He may be a really good assistant coach though.

Don't know if the Port players in the sheds shortly after they won that GF would share this assessment ...

Was listening to Patrick smith & he mentioned the scenario of hanging onto Neil Craig for this year & next year but having one of the up & coming coaches as an understudy ..a bit like sheedy & Leon Cameron at GWS. I quite like that idea...the players seem happy with Craig so not as much disruption again & Hinckley at port is proof that you don't always need to be a big name to get success. Eade didn't get the ultimate success, Choco .....why wasn't he offered the top job at GWS....I mean if sheedys coaching performance on the weekend is anything to go by ....choco should of had the job & sheedy, he shouldn't be there & Roos as much as I would like him.....I remember the ugly style of football he was always accused off. If things keep slowly improving & the players continue to speak so highly of Craig maybe they should look at that scenario.

I heard that same segment It is not the worst idea I have heard.

The down side may be is Craig as marketable to the sponsors and members as a Roos.

It seems to me that we not only need a very good coach we also need a high profile successful coach to sell the club.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
