Wondering on people's views on our coaching panel and the overhaul that should happen at our club. I think the coaching system itself is good with all the extra assistant coaches but just the line coaches I am a bit worried about.

Brian Royal: He has been at our club for a long time and since taking over our midfield group i'm not sure there has been much development there. Apart from Nathan Jones and I guess Jack Viney the rest of the midfield aren't up to scratch. I understand that it is to do with the personnel but not sure if he has that much value at the club anymore.

Leigh Brown: he has been unlucky with the injuries to our forward line, I understand he has come from a successful club so maybe he is worth holding onto.

If you look at other successful clubs such as hawthorn, you see that Brett Ratten is sacked as coach of Carlton and straight away they sign him up. He has senior coaching experience and can bring new ideas to their clulb. I was wondering what people thought about bringing in michael voss as our midfield coach? Ultimately I would want Cameron Ling but not sure if he will come, seems pretty settled in the media at the moment. Michael voss was a champion player, although didn't hit great peaks as a senior coach still has had senior experience.

    Already an existing thread on this...

    Voss would be a good addition in my opinion. Royal needs to go - there have been too many backward steps in terms of the midfield and development to keep him on. Trengove is a prime example, he tore it up in his first couple of years but is a nothing more than an average player now. Surely Royal has had no positive impact on him.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
