    He's been on mine since it looked like they had the knives out for him with the Saints.

    Would be a great get with Burgess...

    I rate Richo as better than Goody... considerably. Maybe as a duo we might start plsying footy...real footy....not current  rubbish.

    Some coaches just don't make great senior coaches for some reason, Alan Richardson is a great bloke, great football person and would be a tremendous asset to the MFC. i suspect though Macca leaving won't be the only change. i'm thinking it'll be a pretty significant shake up with several coaches and staff members moving on. 

    it also shouldn't be lost that Macca has made a very positive contribution to the club in his development role, and no doubt the early career form of Petracca, Brayshaw and Oliver to name a few can in part be credited to his coaching.

    Official. Rook is gone too I've heard on the rumour mill. Richardson to replace Macca IMO.

    Surely the only assistant who is safe is Rawlings, who has a proven track record. The rest need and I believe will go. 

    I hope we get Richardson. 

    McCartney did great work at the club. I just think his old school way of thinking is not in line with Goodwin.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Rawlings leaves or is poached, seems to be highly rated in AFL circles and wouldn't blame him if he's annoyed at being moved around when he wanted to run his own team. Hope he stays of course.

    From watching trainings Macca was an important voice who stressed the fundamentals and had a good relationship with players where he'd boost them up or give them a rev depending on what was needed.

    I think the shame here is instead of sticking with a well defined role we moved him around and probably ended up having him in the way.

    Whoever we bring in we need to make sure the roles are clearly defined, that everyone is on board with the game plan and that training is well rounded.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Rawlings move on for his own development.

    You can only stay at a club so long, and it then appears you are treading water in the AFL industry and you become a forgotten man.

    That is if he still wants a senior job down the track.

    Well In my view OLD SCHOOL is better than what Goodwin has delivered. Bad Move MFC!

    I don’t disagree. I just mean we won’t push him out. He may choose to leave tho.

    Old school doesn't work now days. Just ask Malthouse when he coached carlton.

    Gone are the days of old hard knock coaches.

    The mid season reshuffle of coaches summed up the disaster of a season..bound to happen & it’s McCartney 2nd club he’s had a falling out with.. 

  • Quote

    A few people here unfamiliar with the concepts of either:

    A) Contracts
    And/or
    B) The footy department salary cap

    Not all of Rawlings, Chaplin, Mathews, Plapp etc will be going. 

    Nor should they be. This is still the coaching group that had us playing some very good footy last year.

    Have heard rumours of Jennings wanting out/ being moved on and Bolten being on the radar, not sure if anyone has heard this?

    Rubbish comment. Read the article. All on good terms and after 5 years, have enough respect to at least not make stuff up.

    What makes you think McCartney fell out with Melbourne?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
