I can tell you now this source is quoted from Brendan McCartney himself.

He is going to the Dees on Monday. He wrote his own contract. He is VERY happy and sounds like he may even be our next senior coach in waiting. His role won't be much next year.

He rejected Essendon senior gig because of the scandal.

He built a bonfire with all his doggies stuff, had a party and burnt it cos he was treated like crap there.

Probably the only scoop I'll ever have so passing it on to fellow Demonlanders :)

    This confused me, but he seems very happy about his future and that he will either be senior with Melbourne or he is referring to just this giving him the chance again elsewhere.

    Possibly..but i find that bit hard to believe myself. But lets say the source popped me out out of her [censored] and knows nothing about footy. Long time friends with my mum and his wife.

    For what it's worth, Hird talking about when he was at the Bombers said he was the best development coach he'd ever seen.

    He was very highly regarded before that at the Cats. Could be a huge pickup on the development side.

    And we have plenty that need developing.

    Was just thinking maybe replacing Stone...

    Most likely.

    Hope the Dogs are paying his salary, as he had 2 years left as senior coach. They are paying everyone else's, Griffin and Cooney for starters.

    Is it a competition to get the most coaches between Essendon and us?

    He coached Ocean Grove to four premierships ... oh hang on ...

    Will be a great appointment if true.

    A few of us said in the George Stone thread that McCartney would be a great replacement for him.

    Now to get 2 young champs for him and the rest of the coaching staff to develop to their potential. Go DEES!!!!

    Awesome news. I have always respected Brendan McCartney. Hopefully he can can help with the development of our incoming draftees as well as our existing players.

    They must be a tough thick skinned breed at Ocean Grove. They thrive on the being bullied approach it seems. Not like AFL princesses.

    Nothing like copping saliva to the face to get you fired up.

    He probably doesn't see it the same way now that he's getting paid to help develop pick 3 haha

    yes redders, but also developed in the right way, developed for hardness & for contested football... like they did down at kittyland under Bomba. turned the pusssies into rugged beasts.

    lets hope they all can transform us into thrashing machines on the field, & suburban diplomats away from the playing field.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
