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!

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.

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?

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
