On another new staff appointment, George Stone is definitely coming from Sydney. The source is the closest to GS possible, and I can't be more specific, so don't ask. Announcement won't be made til af

So do I, I would love Voss to take that role. First day of pre-season our players walk in Paul Roos, premiership coach and standing next to him a 3 time premiership captian brownlow medalist, you have to respect that.

Voss went straight from media to coach and he did it his way stuffed up early but over the last couple of years made some very good footballers out of some late draft picks and rookies. He would be a very good senior assistant, midfield coach.

You may very well get your wish...

Wonder how it would sit with Mitch Clark if Voss showed up on the doorstep?

I'm not sure but I don't think they parted on the best of terms and from what Mitch said when he arrived it didn't appear that Voss had much time for him.

I thought that too the other day..

I still continue to laugh at the way Brisbane have completely stuffed this up. Sacked Voss thinking Roos was dead set in the box seat for them only to turn them down.

There board is a disgrace

Would love Adam Simpson.

If we didn't land Roos, I think I would have pushed for Simpson for the top job.

He has enormous wraps on him, and has been working under a great premiership coach.

If we could land the best senior coach and best assistant coach out there, it will be an absolutely massive achievement.

IMO unless Simpson is offered a senior gig now (either with WC or Brisbane), he would be looking favourably on this job, because realistically Clarkson could be the senior coach at Hawthorn for another 5-6 years the way they are travelling.

This is a guarentee for a senior gig in 3 years, while learning from one of, if not the best coaches mentor.

Funny to think we ended up with the man they wanted, and could possibly have Voss coaching under him..

The Lions supporters would have to be shaking their heads at how this has all panned out..

From what I've heard, a group of younger players were the catalyst for Voss being axed as they would sign on.. This might show he didn't have a good relationship with the younger players at the club??

I'd happily have Voss as an assistant, but I don't think he'll be the annointed senior assistant set to take over.

I do think Voss will be looking for a job in Melbourne.

It is reported he wants to be able to settle in the one place for an extended period, as his kids are about to go into high school.

There are more teams in Melbourne than anywhere else, so if things to sour at one club, he can always just shift his workplace & not move the family.

I wouldn't rule out Geelong as a home for him either.

In fact, I think a couple may leave.

Heard whispers Caracella could be on the move.

Lappin is highly sought-after, too.

Explain yourself..

the type he recruits speaks loudly about his cultural directions.

I like his tenacious physical direction of footy, (& that is tempting to a supporter like me),, but we are talking about more fundamental needs this organisation requires to turn it into a club. not a facelift, that a coach like Voss or Woosha would bring..

Its soul needs restoring, before any real lasting gains can be made.

Remember, Roos picked Ross Lyon and Longmire as assistants,thats a pretty good record, i think he knows his stuff.

Happy to leave it up to him, but Simpson seems like a stand out to me if Ling doesnt want it.

Have before. Basically he is a poor communicator with players, does not listen, does not have the intellect to change the game (Lyon, Clarkson, Roos) and doesn't delegate well. A great player but failed coach. We can and will do much better.

Senior assistant to be named soon: Roos

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2013-09-10/senior-assistant-to-be-named-soon-roos

Roos said keeping Jack Watts and Colin Sylvia remained high on the list of priorities.

He said the decision on the senior assistant role was likely to be made before Watts had to make a call on whether he was staying at Melbourne.

Not saying that he will be the successor however I can confirm that Glen Bartlett has an existiing relationship with John Worsfold and they have had a number of discussions this week about a role at Melbourne.

I hope he is not!

The guy needs a break from football (12 straight years as coach must be very taxing).

We need someone still reasonably young with fire in their belly (Scott Burns/Simpson?)

my first post ever: what about J-MAC?? Might not have had alot of success, but always played with ALOT of heart, is a smart guy, small amount of experience with GWS... plus i love him

He has already turned the club down for an assistant position.

Wants to stay at GWS for the time being.

Worsfold has officially turned down any potential offer to be coach at Brisbane, according to the AFL website.

The may still go for Neil Craig, but it does increase the likelihood that both of Simpson and Burns may be unavailable for us.

I think they are the clubhouse leaders in terms of preference.

    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
