    Good luck and best wishes to him.

    He did his best.

    He'd have to be one of the first head coaches to not get a job immediately after. I simply cannot believe we failed ruined his stocks, I still maintain we mucked it up at the hire when we just wanted a Malthouse clone.

    It's not his fault he wasn't good enough, and he was obviously trying; but he'd have to be close to the worst senior coach in this century.

    He has indicated to the school board that Carey will be the toughest school to play whether that be football or public speaking.

    So how bad does that make the selection committee?

    You cant really have a go at someone who accepts a challenge in the work force that hind sight tells us was not the right fit/achievable.

    When standing next to Mick Malthouse and telling the MFC representative on the phone that they need to confirm his appointment because he has another offer, I cant really blame him.

    SCHOOL REPORT CARD: Johny Couldabeen

    Dear Parent,

    This year Johny has shown great progess, he laughs a lot more at his own jokes, he is good at kicking people when they are down, I realise now I am dealing with someone who is perfect and never made a mistake in their life, his opinion is the only opinion worth having, history seems to be his favourite subject, although expressing with hindsight runs it a close second

    I wont sink the boot into Neeld.

    Was he a failure at the MFC ? yes

    Should we have got a senior coach ? ( in hindsight yes).

    Was he a very well credentialled assistant coach coming out of a very good system. ? yes

    Whilst a few here did want an experienced coach, no one suggested he was a poor choice from the assistants available.

    His report card on our former CEO was a classic as well, has to be a High School Teacher.

    Isn't David King coach of Carey? How will that work. Also APS schools paying former AFL players/coaches to coach the team is a bit of a [censored]. Just get one of the PE teachers who was a decent local footy and involved in local footy to do it. These AFL guys bring in all their terminology and training methods that should be kept away from kids who should focus on schooling. The elite ones can get footy knowledge from their TAC teams.

    my nephew has a bit to do with him

    says that mn is a top bloke

    has no idea what went wrong at dees

    first thought was that he had lost a below average group of players very quickly,and NEVER righted the ship

    but pr1ck,i dunno

    Dont begrudge the guy life after coaching Melbourne. He didnt hire himself to MFC we are complicit in his appointment and his management - he doesnt get all the blame.

    It says more about our government funding of private schools that they can afford ex AFL coaches - your taxes at work - meanwhile public schools cant get basic building maintenance.

    I reckon your second last line is probably closer to the truth than him being an absolute pr####

    • 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?
