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

Let's do it ourselves otherwise it will be an illusion.

 

Has to come from within

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"?

Can we get this bloke on board as an assistant coach?

Pleaaase

Would take no [censored], sort the men from the boys, even though hes a "great bloke"

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.

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.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
