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.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
