Rocket Eade to coach Melbourne (rumour)

If true then the odds of Daniel Cross and possibly Adam Cooney coming across as free agents would be decent you'd think!

No, not really.

I find it funny that people think players will just follow coaches to new clubs, the only player I know to go with a coach is Zac Dawson and he's garbage

I'm old enough, but I don't remember. Should I be concerned? Should I see a doctor?

Either that or dust off those LPs that are stored in the garage and take a look back through your record collection.

Looking more likely than ever, not sure how I feel about it though. I guess the only reason I'm not certain of him is purely because he hasn't tasted Grand Final victory yet as a coach. Has been so close but never finished the job. Third time lucky....

i too have this concern with Eade, but i look at it from the point of view that he will be more driven than ever to get that elusive premiership, as he has come so close so many times.

But really, i'm in the mindset of Roo's, Eade, or Chocco being all a win, win win.

Jut sign one.

All will be steps in the right direction.

Experienced Coach who knows how to build a team, great at developing and getting the best out of players, would love to see what he would be able to get out of blokes like

Trengove

Watts

Strauss

Tapscott

Blease

if he can get these guys playing to their Ability we will be a much better team for it.

Fine by me

So you want a veteran who can't get a game in a young up and down side, and a guy who will never leave the Dogs, and for Xmas you would like?

I got this rumour from somewhere else rather than Facebook

When there is a news conference I will believe who we have appointed as coach

Neil Craig is a better option than Eade, thought he coached really well Saturday night against Gold Coast just didn't have the cattle to finish the job for him.

Agree! Dont want Eade. Choco would fit better. He instilled agression type players at Port like Byron Pickett ect...Thats what we need!!!! Amongst other attributes..

Neil Craig could well be a good option but Ultimately the Demons need a coach who has coached A FLAG!

Roos still number one for me though!

Must have missed something.. I thought we had not been granted permission to interview Eade as of yet?

Not correct ? just curious

or his brother Adam Ant (with apologies to Shane Maloney!)

Shane Maloney? I used to know a Shane Maloney many many years ago during my days of propping myself up at the union bar at ANU in Canberra... these days he is quite a successful (or at least, was) crime (pulp) fiction writer.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
