    Cant be right, the shorts worn by the guy on the left aren't tight enough for Neil!

    I hope the club isn't as keen to lose a coach with his experience as you lot are. When you have someone good in your organisation, you hold onto him for as long as you can.

    While Im sure Daniel Craig will make a wonderful head coach again.. I don't know how anyone could justify him as being 'THE MAN' more so than Vossy to take Brisbane to their next flag... Their operation has been embarrassing and has heavily backfired.. Still I wish Daniel Craig the best of luck if he gets the gig!

    i think with the sacking of Voss, that this seems to suggest they are going on a rebuild push.

    Jonathon Brown & Simon Black are at an end... & its time to add to their youth. & a free agent if the can. I'd love to see them get Daisy from under M&M's nose. I think daisy is a better fit for them than us.

    I'd like to get a couple of part timers that won't stall our kids places..... a couple of A-Grade 2 year players to teach & to lead onfield, & to help our kids development.

    While I think the football director's role is important my feeling is that it is not as crucial with Roos at the helm.

    It's absolutely crucial we get the right football chief, Roos knows the value of Andrew Ireland when he held the job when at Sydney. We can't afford to do anything half baked.

    Now the lions are targeting Worsfold, does that mean he is more likely to stay.....

    But do you do this for $400K?

    Nice guy, but with Roos on board I'm happy to see him go. Actually, I'd like to see him go even though I hold him in tremendous regard.

    I think the main players need to move on even if they were unwitting protagonists during the diabolical Neeld era.

    IF the new coach feels he has a genuine rôle at the club then we should encourage him to stay.

    He seems very knowledgable and he is a people's person it seems.

    Whatever the outcome, thanks Neil for your contributions during these trying years. I for one are grateful.

    Agree.

    I don't want the players to have a remnant from a previous footy dept to go to as a crutch when things get tough.

    Not that Craig would meddle, scheme or play politics, I think he'd respect Roos' role, but it's about the perception of others.

    I honestly believe Craig won't stick around.

    It's just the way he is.

    He'd feel the honest and honourable thing would be to extricate himself from any conflict.

    And probably most importantly he'd need to be in a position where he was really striving for something, not just a bloke trying to find out where he fits and can contribute because he still has a contract.

    Agree. Whether that is Craig its up to Jackson and the AFL.

    One of the problems at Essendon was the absence of an effective and empowered Chief of Football Operations.

    If Roos comes to MFC its as Coach and not as Head of the FD.

    We need to get the Head of FD role right. It's important to our future success.

    I'd be terribly disappointed if/when Craig leaves. I can't help but wonder if the train-crash which unfolded before him is something that he feels responsible for and wants to do something about - and as Senior coach he could. He strikes me as a man of great integrity, who loves competing and winning. This would burn in his guts. A real pity that he's likely to leave us for mine.

    Agree.

    Backing up a Coach and then replacing him and then backing up the next one is probably not the best scenario.

    That said, hello Todd.

    However,I think Todd is a bit more removed from the coaching day to day though and wasn't a contender for the position full time.

    He is and it would, but it is probably better all round.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
