The coaching selection panel

Josh Mahoney?? How is this guy still at our club let alone picking the next coach?

He is highly intelligent, highly educated and i would not be at all surprised if he is kept on next year.

How many people have ever interviewed their potential new boss for his job ????????????????

Some people need to get a grip on reality.......................only a moron would think that is normal.

Who is he ; and what has; Josh Mahoney ever done? Might be clever but is a non entity- result wise, in the AFL industry.

Even PJ said he must apply for his position again, so he must be held in ????????? esteem............not!

At least Todd Viney was a great & respected player/leader onfield. JM was how good?? For who??? How many best and fairests. Captain of a club?

So now high intelligence & education justify a senior AFL coaching interviewers position? At least PJ has run a club and done most of this before, so has Parkin in an on field and off field manner.

Is this really all you can base your opinion on? Ya gotta stop settling for 2nd best and get on with being a winner son.

Yes I was listening to SEN. I phoned thru that enquiry! Think others beat me to the same theme though. Healey would easily have Mahoney covered for justification on this panel, too. Let JM with all his intelligence go to another "nice" club.

We only want people with fire in the belly now, no more nice, intelligent, educated, unproven, losers, from hereon in!

You have it backwards and so does Mooney. The head of the FD under Jacksons structure is the boss, he and he alone reports to the CEO. Last time I looked the coach was a part of that department so Mahoney should be on the committee as interim head the same as Craig is on the selection committee for the team as interim coach. He is not appointing his boss, he is the boss.

Jackson has put structures in place and trust in the people in the interim jobs to do the role they are in place to do. Until anyone else steps up then these are the people that should be involved.

Todd's role is an interesting one in representing the players and I think it shows good faith on the clubs behalf where there hasn't been a lot for a fair time now.

y

U are going off like a pork chop, u are talking about someone u don't know, just because the teams not winning means that everyone at the club are losers, you don't throw the baby with the bathwater, he is a permeriship player, u don't know if he has fire in the belly.


What the hell is your problem, Still Waiting?

He is the Interim Head of the FD. To not include him would be aslap in the face of the original decision by JACKSON HIMSELF to put Mahoney in that position.

I doubt he will stay in his current position in 2014 but don't diminish the guy for doing what he is asked to do.

Same with Garry Lyon. He told the club he didn't want to be involved. Harbour ill-feeling if you wish but he was asked by those at the club to help, those at the club ratified the decisions that were made, and those at the club are now gone. Get over it.

what a load of crap.....If PAUL ROOS WANT THE JOB he will get it ......no need for a panel,it will be an insult to his intelligence.

IF ROOS DOES DECLINE then it will WILLIAMS,CRAIG or EADE ( hopefully not... being a victorian the MCC member will try to control him)

WHO KNOWS ROOS MAY ALREADY HAVE THE JOB................all this speculation could be a front.

AS I SAID BEFORE no ex-Demon/Victorian should have anything to do with the club............... good rid dens to HEALY.............. wasn't that good of a player anyway.

People at the club have to ratify the decision to hire Roos - this is what this committee will do if Roos decides he can slum it for a few years in such an awful city...

And what crazy ramblings are the bolded?

The MCC will control people and no Demons should be involved in hiring the Coach of the Demons?

No Victorian should get the job. Eade is Tasmanian and Roos is Victorian by birth does that change his mind?


Pretty sure the bombers had a selection panel even though Hird was already committed to coaching them jus' sayin.

Its a formaility for Roos or a necessity if anyone else.

Im not fazed

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
