    Doubt he'd come - he'd be amazing, but a media career beckons, methinks....

    Has to come from within

    I dont think he's the answer. But he would help make us better for sure.

    Would be great but I think outside of a media gig he would do either of:

    1. Go to Gold coast as a coach in waiting 

    2. Stay at the hawks where his heart is

    Speaking of hawk assistant coaches i wonder whether the club have ever approached neita or yze about coming back? Particularly yze, as he's learned from the best in clarko, his heart is red and blue and he was an elite kick which is something our midfield is presently deficient on

    Not a bad thought DD82. having a club legend like Neita involved could only improve our coaching standards.

    What an odd post. Let's just get the best people for the job in all positions at the club, on and off field. Doesn't matter one iota whether they come from 'within' or not.

    Not a single member of our senior coaching staff has come from 'within'. Why would this make any success we have "an illusion"?

    Think our coaches are pretty  settled and of good quality. The improvement needs to come from the players not letting 5-10 mins slip a game which bones us.

    I would even put him on contract for a season, if that's what it took.

    Its a yes from me.

    Well I guess we shouldn't have PJ then, & Roosy was a mistake as well. 

    We have been fooling ourselves looking outside the Mfc box all this time, when we had all the skills within to fark it ourselves.

    Why?

    For skills that we needed in areas where we were lacking, such as a good CEO, or a good coach, yes, outsiders have come in and done well. Garlett, Vince, etc.

     

    But for the burning issue of mental strength, you can't buy it or recruit it.

    Has to come from within, meaning, the list we have has to solve it for themselves.

    It has alway irked me that they went over and have been hanging around all those yellow and brown scum.

    100% agree with you here.

    But wouldnt having hodge on the coaching staff help this to happen?

    Very very recent  rumour says we've just reappointed our 2017 coaches for 2018

    Reckon there's a cuppla toige's with photos and we've got no $s

    Lets just let Lewey transition into coaching first.

    Although based on Friday night  I'd bring Ooze back as the goal kicking coach !

    No, he's indicated he's not interested in coaching and looking for a media career.

    ...we need people 100% committed to coaching who are good at what they do. I think we already have them.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
