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

Looks like it's Paul Roos for the next six to ten years then.

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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
