Can't wait for Robbo to interview him in his typically ebullient way!

So Max, remember that day down at Kardinia Park (2005) where I booted seven goals on you including a bag in the last quarter, to lead the Dees to a famous come-from -behind victory?

Egan had a shot on the siren too from memory.

And Max will say, "hey, Robbo, remember those two premiership medallions I won after you were delisted by Melbourne?" ;)

    He's going to have special responsibility for rookies ... to be known as Rooke's Rookies.

    And, presumably, he will work with them in the Rookery...

    Rooke is working on the defensive  switch with King.Seems like a tactical move.

    They wanted Enright, but might have someone just as good.  Let's hope so.

    In my view the coaching panel is the equal of any.  Coaching is 90% during the week and 10% gameday.  Goodwin was effectively coach last year in my view and it was most certainly his gameplan.

    I quite like that we've made a few changes, bought in a lot of guys who have premiership experience, but i think in the assistant coaching ranks it's important to make changes semi-regularly because sometimes a fresh set of eyes can make a difference, Egan, Rooke and Chaplin will definitely help in this regard.

    I've read good things about Rooke. I also appreciate that we have McCartney to work with our young band of coaches.

    I'm looking forward to watching an interview with Rooke. Burgo was quick off the mark when Chaplin was announced but we're yet to see anything with Rooke and Egan.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
