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!

    would love to see ooze back at the club in the near future.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I loved the Oooze, congratulations..

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
