Rocket Eade to coach Melbourne (rumour)

Featured Replies

ahhhhh Mr Adam Ment is very reliable...

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

 

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

Agree - but he stills plays his role in that team.

Lyon has got Freo very, very well drilled.

 

If true, let's hope he can 'stand and deliver!'

(for those old enough to remember)

edit: great minds billy :)

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.

Definately!

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.

LP= long playing record

RECORD=disc that had grooves in it, when deciphered played music

MUSIC=sweet tune of voice and instrument.warning not doof doof doof

He's certainly no Prince Charming!

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

I hope not.. Do we really want another guy who's latest stint has been with the pies.. id much rather choco..

who cares who his latest stint has been with

I wonder how the relation of Rocket and Daisy is.....

Would be a nice sweetner


He knows how to draft mids. That can only be a good thing for us.

It says lots about our year that we cannot get Melbourne spelt correctly on a thread title.

Phone typo

I wonder if this new role that Rocket recently got with the Pies, which has taken him off shows on Fox, is just a smokescreen for a different role at the Pies where they want to keep him on, but have given him less access to their IP.

So in other words facebook..

Oh come on! We all know FB tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth....

I like sweet chille sauce ;)


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

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.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca  

    The superstar Demon midfielder made a successful return to the fold after his devastating injury last year and the subsequent fallout from the treatment he received, during which time he sought to depart the club. Petracca's professionalism and strong play, both in the midfield and up forward, were outstanding and resulted in him being runner-up in the club's best and fairest count. However, early this week, the club's new CEO, Paul Guerra, confirmed that the under-contract Petracca has again requested a trade, adding that he would only be allowed to leave for a “quality offer that turns our head". No doubt some Demon heads are already spinning.
