Imagine that the current coaching panel leave the club over the next two years.Could we form a new panel made up of 'recent' ex-players who are currently coaching at other clubs?I believe the following blokes are coaching : Yze, Miller, Green, Rivers, Bruce, Woewodin and Cross. What would be the roles for these blokes if we got them all together?

Is one of these ex-players capable of being The Coach?

    I have a very vivid imagination but you've got me stumped on this occasion.

    If you delete the word 'recent' from your post and add ex-Demon Alastair Clarkson to that potential panel, then I'd be far more comfortable.

    Woewodin is doing a solid apprenticeship and may get a crack at senior coaching eventually. For some reason can't see Green or Bruce making it beyond assistants - probably because I didn't rate their on field leadership.

    I really don't like the ex concept and I don't buy into it either.

    Buckley is in the midst of epic failing at Collingwood, just like Hird at Essendon and Voss at Brisbane.

    I understand the romanticism but the best thing possible for the club should always be top priority.

    I would gladly have any of them back as assistants. Green as a forwards coach after working at North. Yze as a skills coach. Bruce or Rivers as backline coaches. 

    Bruce is learning from the best in the business. If we want a coach who can teach us how to play more zone defence and Hawthorn's system he'd be a good get. 

    But I'm also very hopeful that our 2018 coaching panel is mainly the coaches we have now. In particular that we have Goodwin and McCartney still running the show.

    I wouldn't let any player from between 98 - 2014 anywhere near a Mfc whiteboard.

    .......  just keep them on the outside of the fence for demons sake.

    Im guessing we haven't learn't our lesson in bringing in ex players in just for the sake of romance..  Connelly Lyon etc..

    Bring in the best available people in like Peter Jackson said on The Couch couple of years ago. We have done that and look how far we have come.

    In saying that Hawthorn rate Cameron Bruce and Adam Yze (their skills coach) very highly. They have now spent a good couple of years at a club thats won 3 premierships in 5 years. They now know what culture and standards are needed to be a successful side. Something they didn't know at Melbourne. If one of these two were available i have no doubt these would be the only ex melbourne players id jump at the opportunity. The rest don't interest me at all.

    Happy to have Goodwin for a second year with McCartney remaining in place as the Development Coach. If it ain't broke (or untried) don't change it! Ditto with our our Gun recruiting team and PJ.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
