Interesting that he's taken on a defensive role. I never really saw that as the best part to his game, then again there were a couple of years where he'd play HBF and use that deadly left foot to release us through the middle.

Good luck Ooze, though I hope you get it terribly wrong when you play the Dees!

Well done to him - He is one ex - Demon that I have care factor zero about and I am not even sure why.

One of the most talented players we have had in the past 15 years but in my opinion cut some crucial corners in delivering consistently.

Nevertheless I wish him well.

And I would only want him back at the Club in a specific role if he is indeed the best person for the role.

I can't understand the headlong rush to have a plethora of ex players back at the club.

EFC has shown it's no surefire recipe for success.

Believe it or not 3 of their main off field personnel (Bruce, Oooze and Chris Fagan) spent a lot of their formative years at Melbourne under one Neale Daniher. I also believe Clarko got his first job after retirement as well under ND as a fitness coach. Fagan especially is rated as one of the best at what he does.

Well, I will say two potentially. I know Fagan is viewed as part of the glue that keeps Hawthorn together and he was Neale's right hand man throughout his tenure.

Agree Colin about Fagan. He is highly regarded at the Hawks and shares in their success.

In respect of Clarkson, was he runner for MFC when his playing days finished?

I am thinking 98-99 years.

They have a few ex Dees at the Hawks don't they?

I believe Cameron The Bruce is there as a coaching assistant. Also, congratulations to Ooze! Hope to see him or Bruce back at the Dees someday. Edited by Demon Jack

I'm with you - I want the best at our club - if they happen to be ex MFc then well and good.

I also think that we get a distorted picture on how good assistants really are - firstly we have little to no insight but secondly how much easier would it be to be the midfield coach at the Hawks compared to the Dees ?

For that reason I really rate Clarkson as a coach as he took an ordinary Hawks and turned them into a powerhouse.

I think you are spot on about assistant coaches and what we know about them on DL.

Despite all the bravado shown, unless you observing things from the inner sanctum you don't know.

Clarkson is certainly a fine coach. He is also backed up by a top notch administration which no MFC coach in the last 20 years or so have had. But I can't help thinking that the Hawks were blessed with early picks in 2001 and 2004 that have set them up so well.

I was going to make the point re their administration. It is so important that all parts of the club are pulling in the same direction ( although Clarkson apparently was on shaky ground for the first couple of years) And 100% right - they got great early picks who either had abundant talent and/or were developed properly.

Loved watching Yze playing football.

Best of luck with the new gig mate.

But I hope we can smash the Hawks next time we play them.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    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

    The Demons return to Melbourne in Round 17 to take on the Eagles on Sunday as they look to bounce back from a devastating and heartbreaking last minute loss to the Lions at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?
