Dawes interview interesting in regards to coaches. Also gives a good insight into what Craig has done since taking over i.e making players train in the gear they wear on the game day (no skins) etc. Worth a listen:

This guy just oozes smarts, leadership and class. He's a future senior coach, is Chris Dawes.

Maybe he has asked if a couple of handshake agreements may be able to loosen up if he comes on board.

I'm waiting for the day Roos says just plain no. Until such day, he is as much of a chance as any other candidate.

Come out and say "it's not going to happen, I will not coach Melbourne next year" and I'll move on. Until such time, I am holding onto the dream like a fat kid holds onto his ice cream.

Roos has said that things would want to change (within him) for him to want to coach again. Who knows what this means? Could Roos be saying that he doesn't want to coach the MFC in their current structure? That's not saying his heart isn't in it, that's just demanding a level of professionalism that he expects if he were to consider applying.

I don't think that's a bad thing. An experienced, premiership coach wanting to see changes before he makes his mind up - would've thought that was perfectly fine for what we are wanting.

He will bang it on the head tonight, it's a pipe dream, he said 2weeks ago OTC he won't do it.

While I agree that we should not get Blight-ed, we cannot 'interview' Williams or Eade until September/October so don't fear the wait - the wait is going to be there. We won't miss out.

I am very confident that one of Roos, Williams, Eade, or Craig will be head coach next year.

Actually no he didn't say that at all, the fact that several months ago he said no, and now he is actually prepared to talk to PJ says otherwise in my eyes.

I would be amazed if he said ANYTHING definitive tonight.

Primus said something definitive, Roos recently has been anything but that.

Where is he going mjt?

I am not aware of any other positions on offer at the moment.

If my memory is correct the only jobs up are Us, Lions and Eagles

No one can talk to Williams till the end of August and with the tigers likely to be in finals then early September.

And after that who's says he is better than Eade or Craig?

Theres always positions on offer, it's AFL, look at St Kilda and Fremantle, anything can happen.

My feeling is that ths whole paul roos betting plunge is a load of crip. Punters can only bet 20 on it so the bookies couldn't care less about losing money on it. just a publicity stunt by the bookies and it has worked as everyone is talking about it.

    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
