The Aussie cricket team gives a good blueprint for having experienced heads in mentoring roles. Steve Waugh sitting with the players watching the game is gold.

Hope the powers that be make it happen, he would be a very handy assistant or development coach. Have also heard some rumblings that we're interested in bringing James Hird to the club in some sort of role?

I like Richo  he would be a good fit  with the Dee's. A fresh face with a good persona will be a tremendous acquisition for Goody to have around him. Richo is a well respected person and has an abundance of experience and l hope that we can entice him.

Have we considered Mark 'Bomber' Thompson? Has multiple flags to his name and is now officially cleared of drug trafficing charges. Well worth a call I reckon and would be a good paxkage get with Hirdy. 

That’s tongue in cheek right?

Would you buy another if he helped us win a flag?

PS. I am not advocating getting him.

Richo is probably a very nice fellow but i'm not sure we really need, or can afford to pay for, a failed coach from another  failed club with a long history of failing.

He may not have succeeded as Senior Coach but he has an impressive CV as an Assistant, who is highly thought of by by past clubs and players.

Nicely devilishly advocated.

Actually  ...no. He's  vermin. I would not give my money to a club that employed him.

I've always thought StKilda a strange beast. Bit of a Bermuda triangle of Footy. I would certainly like Richo at Melbourne...quite happily have him as SENIOR coach actually.........

I have no doubt Mr Leg.  I am just seeking an edge which we haven't had for 55 years or so, barring a few years under Swooper.

He might be the perfect foil for Macca and prove me wrong should he end up in a the inner sanctum.

Apparently Phil Walsh (dec) thought the wolrd of him in his ability to relate to players and develop them. We saw the results a couple of weeks ago . I am not knocking Ratten , but these kids are the ones who RIcho has been developing. He has had no luck with a few longterm injuries etc (i.e. Mc Cartin and , the HB Flanker with Heart problems.  both of them quality players. )

I listened to Richo being interviewed and he has no desire to be a senior coach again. He sees himself as a development coach and that is his area of strength. As luck would have it we have a vacancy for a development coach with McCartney's departure. Rich is much more of a people person than the hard edge of Macca. 

Already the club has recruited in a lot of youth with Sparrow, Jordan, Bedford, Dunkley and Chandler. If we don't trade of our high draft picks we will have 3 maybe 4 more kids come in.Fertile ground for a development coach to manufacture the next tier of players under Viney, Gus, Clarry and Harmes

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
