that's a bummer.

 

i wonder why.

Either doesn't get on with Goodwin or got a better offer. Maybe Tigers.

    Weird.

    Peter Ryan's article suggests that he is looking elsewhere for opportunities whereas the MFC article simply says that Brett's 'contract will not be renewed'.

    The latter indicating that we may have someone in mind to take up that role?

    Or perhaps a mutual departure from both parties.

    Funny how two articles can be interpreted so differently depending on a few words.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was purely a cost saving decision by the club.

    The development program is in place, Macca is running it (who came into the role after Allisons employment) and the club probably feels we have adequate resources to carry out the program moving forward. 

    Maybe let's not look for a conspiracy for a change.

    Change of head coach meant there was always going to be changes to the coaching team.

    No surprise, no drama, that's footy.

    If true, I say thanks for your time with us Brett. I think our coaching team has done a great job, so by extension you must have done a great job also.

    Be proud of your time here, and best of luck with your next role, whatever that is.

    Joking, even though they are from Canberra I believe. 

    I was throwing it in, in line with someone else who may want to go home.

    They will only help to 'enhance' the performance of the club as a whole?

    Thought they might have moved, I used to work with his parents a while back in Melbourne.

    Terrific people...

    It says on the club website that the development team has been restructured and Allison wasn't offered a new contract, would seem a bit strange if we then hired Egan in a development role?

    Why, they may think Egan is better.

    Yes I understand that, and most posters want MFC to be more ruthless, but that is pushing the envelope and not a good look, although assistants move all the time, discussions I have had has Egan/Allison on same level as development coaches, Roos cherrypicked Allison for this very reason

    Obviously that has changed.

    Can you explain how you can measure one against the other?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
