Primarily because I don't want a "boy's club" but instead a variety of different influences.

Montgomery has been under some pretty handy coaches, whilst Sumich is super highly rated in the west, and the other two have been involved in one of the most successful eras of all time.

I know Egan has big wraps but I just worry about too many of the same influences coming to reinforce the same messaging as opposed to look at different avenues.

Whilst I would welcome Egan, as from all reports he is a coach on the rise, again I ask, we have a full complement of coaches, where does he fit, do we need an additional coach, having not heard any talk from the club saying we will replace Goodwin on the line, only Stinear once he finishes his coaching with the girls will be integrated into the development side headed up by McCartney

We don't have a full complement of coaches.

Roos left. Goody took his job. Stinear will be another development coach, and has not taken Goody's role. There is another position open

I think he did a bit more than just hang around and wait...

Yes, clearly, but all in the view that it would be work that he would continue when he became senior coach, or stuff Roos (or other assistants) would be doing if Goodwin wasn't there. I took it as a role with a high degree of redundancy; I accept that I am just assuming though.

Who was our senior assistant in year 1 of Roos' tenure, before Goodwin was hired?

Yes that is what I was asking as well, is once Goodwin vacated, the position would cease to exist, no chat whatsoever from the club about hiring another coach, but who knows?

Goodwin's role was coach in waiting, is that a vacancy that would generally be filled?

Goodwin was also the forwards coach this year as they moved the previous guy - McPherson in to a ball movement/oversight with Casey role. 

They could hire a new forwards coach or McPherson could resume the forwards job and then they could add or not add someone in to the role he took this year. 

I would say we are well placed but probably not overflowing with coaches. There could be room for 1 more. We've got a large Roosy salary coming off the books!

Lot of clubs have been offering huge celery to Stewart Dew,which was rejected.

He would be the largest signing for us in years.

Could teach our players to go for the Krill.

This is happening.

That is fabulous news. 

I heard Chocco Williams recently say how little Rance understood of the 'defenders' craft before Leppitsch @ Richmond.  Leppitsch taught Rance stuff like - when to run off the man, where to position himself, when to mark/when to hit the ball away, running his man under the ball etc etc.  I think we need someone to teach Oscar, Tom and Sam the same things.  No offence to Rawlings but I think Matty Egan is the guy we need.

Covered in peanut butter no doubt.

Not to be lost in there: "McCartney will now move into a newly created role of player/coach performance manager."

 

 

Ive got no idea what that translates into  ( not a sleight at yo Stu

just what is that as a job ?  And I thought Macca was the ultimate player-whisperer ?

I've got to admit I've got no idea how these people fill their days at work anyway. All I know is that it matters that our players are properly developed and we've added a highly rated younger resource; since Macca is still on board I'll just assume the new structure is an improvement on what we had and be happy.

The impression I got is that it means Macca will be less player development and more like that director of coaching or "senior" assistant we see a lot these days with new coaches.

Gives Goody a bit more support I think,

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
