    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
