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

Heading to the Gold Coast if he doesn't take up his gig in the media.

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.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
