Chaplin lost me last year when he was seen wearing his Richmond scarf, beanie, jumper and duffel coat to every Richmond final last year despite being a paid MFC employer.

Whether he can coach or not is another story. And it's questionable given he's the coach of our worst unit on the field.

I would have issues with this IF Melbourne FC was also playing finals.

CGAF otherwise.

    I don’t think he’s up to it, nor would he want it.

    I would prefer we got a bit more experience and not another novice like Mitchell.

    I had my eye on Richardson if the Saints went down in a heap...a great assistant coach but likely to stay on now.

    Highly regarded in SA...

    Unlikely in my opinion. More likely to go back to Geelong than anything.

    Why's that, mate?

    Is that right, i saw him on GF day hugging players, didnt know about him wearing a scarf.

    That is terrible would he do that if we had to play against Rich in finals the tool.

    I don’t see what the big deal is... dees weren’t playing and clearly he’ll still have good mates at the tigers. It wouldn’t impact his day job when he’s ‘clocked on’. Seems like a real nothing thing to care about. I’m professional at work but don’t spruik my workplace 24/7.

    Exactly. The MFC was in Bali...

    The players had already clocked off

    Yeah. I've done plenty of screaming and fist pumps when a non-melb team i'm rooting for scores a goal or wins a game. Dogs v Hawks in 2016 from memory also a Pavlich goal in 3rd qtr v Hawks in the GF. I don't think I've betrayed the Dees...

    [censored] not on in my book, hug players congratulate but you do not don the colours of another club, whilst your working for another [censored] him off.

    Ryan O'Keefe is on the lookout for a coaching role in the AFL.

    We could do much worse than look at him.

    I'm always interested in the why - aside from how he played, what do you know (i'm genuinely curious) about how he coaches?, why would we want to consider him?

    wouldn't be surprised if the Eagleshold him to their 3 year assistant coach contract. But base him in a Melbourne office...

     

    having said that. get him in now!

    A quality person and a great player Ex Sydney;,,,  who has been coaching with the Crows for the past 4 years or so.

     

    * He has the Swans ethics culture, built in... we can expect to meet the Swans in finals in coming seasons.

    * He knows the Crows players, and Styles/methods, which we will be playing in Finals against in coming seasons.

    * He knows footy inside out,  (especially forward/mids)  & he's looking for a coaching role in the AFL, currently.

    * He's a winner.

     

    Other than these thoughts, I can't say anymore than that,,,  other then he's always been one of my Favs as a player.

    We have a few players who try to play as Half forwards/Mids.... ROk's specialty.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
