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

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

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
