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

No not me chap, but conversations, like Brendan Mc is regarded as a doyen of development, both Allison and Egan are/were regarded as up and coming development coaches, maybe it may happen because Goodwin rates Egan more than Allison

So, current coaching changes stand at - 

Roos out, Goodwin goes from 'senior assistant coach' to 'senior coach'.

Allison out from the 'Head of Development' position. Leaving Brendan McCartney as the presumptive master of all things development.

Greg Stinear has come in as the coach of the Women's team and as a development coach.

We actually have quite a large group of development coaches, including Shannon Byrnes and Daniel Cross as new entries to coaching. I'm not too worried about that area, given McCartney's credentials and record.

t may even be that as the players learn to tie their won shoelaces and catch the bus on their own, we're scaling back the development side a little, to focus more on line coaches.

Byrnes is on the welfare side, think he wants to be Footy Operations ie Mahoney and Crossy is on the fitness side ie Misson

How many staff do we have/need?

3 for the Melbourne Lords - Barltett, Mahoney, Jackson. 

7 coach assistants in their tracksuits red and blue;

9 other personnel, list managers and recruiting;

1 head coach upon his Demon throne.

At the MCG, where the Demons rule.

Goodwin to rule them all,

Goodwin to find them,

Goodwin to bring them all

And as Premiers, bind them.

At the MCG, where the Demons rule.

  • 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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
