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.

I'll give you Goody at this early stage

Name me one other ?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
