I will put this out there.....the next coach has already been sewn up - Mark Thomson. He has been treated appallingly by the bombers, will be stabbed in the back when the French Prince returns, is a great coach, he and Roos are great mates, Jackson thinks he is the "ants pants", and he will want revenge - big time!

I proffer the following scenario: 29 mins into the final quarter the bombers lead the dees by 5 points in the 2017 grand final. Watts grabs the ball in the centre bounce, kicks 60 metres for hogan to take a screamer 55 meters out, the siren sounds, and he dobs it half goal,post height (Buckannara like). Hird goes nuts! And refuses to come out of the coaches box.

Thomson has nothing more to prove and gives Hird the "two finger" salute.

Oh what bliss!!!

Roos and Thompson has a coaching duo is enough to make ANY football fan salivate.

Unfortunately, I can't see it happening. IMO this saga has had its toll on Thompson, and I doubt he'll coach again in the near future.

He's damaged goods.

Not sure that I agree, but I love the imaginative ending. :blink:

Revenge is a big motivator, and I suspect he is going to be treated appallingly. Little and the Essendon board continue to exhibit the insensitivity and boorishness about which they have become so famous.

I suspect Hird will come back, and it will a destroy Essendon...

As far as I am concerned the next coach is employed at the hawks at present .

By the end of 2016 he will be available.

End of story for mine.

Is that when Cameron Bruce is out of contract? Or Adem Yze? :lol:

I don't believe the club has made a decision, I think they are holding out hope of retaining Roosy, having said that I firmly believe Bomber will be an assistant at mfc next year.

Garry Lyon keeps hinting at that. Roos is also good mates with another Lyon whose family might like to return to Victoria in a couple of years.

Garry Lyon can stay the f**k out of any coaching discussions! Sorry Red, had to get that off my chest.

Is this the same coach who snubbed one of his own stalwarts for " disloyalty" ( Ablett jnr ) and while still coaching the Catters was accused of making umpteen calls to a Windy Hill number from his office phone by none other than his own club president .

It seems like we get excited every time Clarkson's contract nears its expiry, only to be disappointed yet again.

I reckon the hawks will be well on the slide in 2016, they might feel it's time for someone else for a re-build and Al might like a new challenge?

Most of Roos former underlings are aiming to coach teams late into September and do what every coach aspires to be involved in, and learn how to do...

Win a flag.

Or

they could come to Melbourne and be second banana in the 7th year of a rebuild that has yielded a handful of wins... this season.

Tough choice.

They'll come if we rise in 2015, be onboard for 2016, and ready to take over in 2017.

    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

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
