Just curious as to the list of assistants that are available at the moment, and who is likely to step in to replace the vacant position of Goodwin, when he moves into the drivers seat.. Thoughts?

    I am not convinced about Rawlings, he has been around for a while now and doesn't really seem to be going anywhere, not sure if by choice or talent.

    Maybe Ben Mathews, but only because I have noticed a trend when coached have been prompted. Structures: Senior Coach - Senior Assistant Coach - Midfield Coach.

    I am clueless though.

    I believe the intention was to use McCartney as a line coach and mentor, see the coaches on the MFC web site

    I'm tipping it will be someone not currently at Melbourne, and will be specifically recruited for the role. Who? No idea.

    Chris Connolly, he took the fall unjustly after the stool pigeon Mclean dobbed him in.

    Would bring a lot of experience and his fondness for the club remains unquestioned.

    Do we have enough coaches once Roos leaves? Or do we need to add one more? Just hope we don't go after Buckley if he gets booted..

    What a complete and utter load of rubbish.

    Everyone knows we should be bring back Mark Neeld.  In addition, replacing Jason Taylor with Barry Prendergast wouldn't go astray either and what's Tom Gilles doing these days?

    In all seriousness, I'd like to see James McDonald interviewed for the job. Besides that there are plenty of the Geelong boys who want to coach.

    With respect - we are all clueless when it comes to assistants and your view on Rawlings is apparently not shared by the AFL. See below - not everyone gets a gig in this course and it is by CV and interview so obviously Rawlings is rated.

    THE SENIOR coaching prospects of Peter Sumich and Brett Montgomery have been boosted after the pair was accepted into the AFL's coaching accreditation course for 2016. 

    After a lengthy interview process, the AFL notified successful applicants on Monday, with assistants Justin Longmuir (West Coast) and Jade Rawlings (Melbourne) rounding out the second intake of the level four program. 

    There are now 12 coaches completing the course, which the AFL hopes will eventually become mandatory for those applying for senior positions in the future.

    I think the club will be really keen to keep the development structures we have in place, so Macca won't move. 

    Rawlings is keen on a senior coaching gig so i doubt it will be him either as he most likely won't be around long term.

    I'd think we will look outside and try and bring someone into the club, I think someone like Brett Ratten would be a great get as a senior assistant. 

    I would love to see the club approach Jonothan Brown about a coaching role as well, he has a lot of positive things to say about the club and would be great for our developing key forwards.

    Here are some ? targets who have helped to develop good midfields:

    Lenny Hayes - GWS

    Cam Bruce - Hawthorn

    Stuart Dew - Syd

    Scott Camporeale - Adel

    Anyone that has studied under Clarkson would be ideal

    Next few weeks will be telling. Colin Garland is one of the most astute footballers to play for Melbourne in the last 29 years. 

    Expect he would rather coach than play in the 2's.

    I think you go to left field and then hop in your car and drive for about another 350km's until you get to far left of left field.

    That's a very specific statement and timeline. What's the evidence? And if he's a better coach prospect than footballer, I'm all for shifting him from the on-field to the off-field role (if that's what he wants).

    With his TV, radio, newspaper and sports nights jobs, he would be too busy.

    He would be doing bloody well for himself, but wouldn't be the first person to make the switch to full time coaching, i think he'd certainly be worth chatting to

    If he smart he would sit where he is. Comfy and little criticism.

    From left field as he is still playing but body is looking worn and has been an onfield coach for 10 years

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
