I hate bringing this up, but I was just listening to the pre-match discussions on Fox Footy. They interviewed Swans Assistant, Stuart Dew, and made the observation that he will one day make a very good Senior Coach. They went on to mention that he had missed out on the Carlton gig, but was still in the running for Essendon and Adelaide. Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could yet end up a Demon. What the hell was Healy referring to? ......... or did I completely mishear what Healy said? They were definitely talking about the role of senior coach. Someone please put my mind at ease. I need the sleep tonight!

Heard it aswell..

Too be honest I think he stuffed up and was meant to mention that he was in the running for the dees job couple of years ago.

Wouldn't read too much into it.

Didn't hear it, but are you sure he wasn't using the past tense? Something like, "Then Healy piped in with the fleeting comment that, depending on contract discussions at Melbourne, he could have end up a Demon."

I'm sure I got the gist and tense correct LDvC, but as others said, Healy may well have ballsed it up.

Or did he mean that if Goodwin is ineligible to coach because of the Essedrug affair outcome, then Dew could be a replacement? Or maybe Ive got that completely wrong as well?

Probably meant to say "He could have ended up a Demon." Was our first choice, but the Swans were unwilling to let him go. Nothing to see here.

SIMON Goodwin has come third in the AFLCA assistant coach of the year, behind St Kilda duo Adam Kingsley and Danny Sexton.

Appreciate the link but what does it all mean. Who decides the winner?

Clarko still can't win coach of the year.

Did Bruce Reid hand back his lifetime achievement award?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
