    He would be a great acquisition. Have a word to him Jordan. Get him to Melbourne, not St Kilda!

    A big yes from me.Ā  Add LeweyĀ as the backline coach also pls.

    Burgess already in place.

    Carey, Dermie or Rooey in as forward craft / strategy coach.

    Hodgey in as theĀ assistant (2ic) to Goody (and other tweaks to recruiting/trade crew) and we're set to go for the next 5 years.

    I somehow suspect Lewis may tell him to not bother with MFC as it is a basket case!Ā

    I know! Make him defensive coach! Ā And lets make some mufti defender from menangatang the forwards coach. Ā This is what we have done this year. Ā I would bring him in as a specialist mentor and forward skills development.

    Roughead has already stated that he would like to work in List Management and apparently the Dees are prepared to involve him in that area with other areas obviously to be looked at. He would learn the role of List Management probably working under our current List Manager. IMO it would all depend on whether Lewis is involved with us next year as an Assistant Coach. He has good friends at other clubs, but staying in Melbourne and at a club with his best mate and learning the area he wants to be involved in, would IMO see him with us.Ā

    We could do worse than have Roughie teaching Weideman and Petty the finer details aboutĀ forward craft. Maybe he can teach our coach too.

    Talking Footy just said that Goodwin and Clarko would be doing a press conference with Jordan Lewis for his retirement over the next few days, and Hodge will retire and look for media/assistant opportunities. So I mean, maybe the stars might be aligning. Goodwin acknowledging he's so far out of the loop this week and maybe bringing in some clarko footy and its evolutionary offshoots IP.

    Obviously a 'wish list' on the 3 forwards suggestion JD.Ā  Can't see any of them, other than maybe Rooey, on big multiples of current media $, coming down for a short stint.

    We could do alot worse than surround ourselves with a 'Hawthorn' biased crew of assistants and line coaches IMV JD.Ā  IĀ would be ecstatic to see a combo of Lewey, Roughy and Hodge join us.

    What an amazing get Hodgey would be,Ā  not just for his experience, footy knowledge and a succession optionĀ (whetherĀ Goody makes it or not) but also the drawing powerĀ those three would have getting potential top line recruits over the line in the super competitiveĀ trade circus.

    All is forgiven if that was to come off. Also solved the problem of a mentor type role. With lewis and Roughy he might be ok.Ā

    That was my first thought.

    Saints appear to be the front runners and reportedly have already put a proposal to Roughy.Ā  He has a close relationship with Ratten so if he gets the senior coaching role (which looks likely) I doubt he will come to us.Ā  Saints a more known quantity on many fronts.

    Well Hawthorn's off field line up has been full of former Demons: Neitz, Yze, even Clarkson so it's time something came back our way.

    Hell, they even got Mark Evans.

    I am also keen on Ooze making his long awaited return now he's been at Clarko's shoulder this year. And yes, I've said it on other threads but that's not stopping me repeating it.

    Ditto.Ā  Another year or two under the master wouldn't hurt eitherĀ Pit.

    There's no guarantees he will come back to us but himselfĀ and/or Hodgey would be very handy assets to have sitting in theĀ box withĀ Goody.Ā  Hodgey very handy on the interchange as a strong voice also when needed.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Nightā€™s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourneā€™s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, weā€™ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binmanā€™s Stats Files. Not because it isnā€™t important; quite the opposite. Itā€™s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourneā€™s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last yearā€™s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although itā€™s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sundayā€™s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to foolā€™s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven Kingā€™s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
