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

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

    Burgess already in place.

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

    Hodgey in as the 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!

    I know! Make him defensive coach!  And lets make some mufti defender from menangatang the forwards coach.  This is what we have done this year.  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.

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

    That sounds more like a tv commentary team...

    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.  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.  I would be ecstatic to see a combo of Lewey, Roughy and Hodge join us.

    What an amazing get Hodgey would be,  not just for his experience, footy knowledge and a succession option (whether Goody makes it or not) but also the drawing power those three would have getting potential top line recruits over the line in the super competitive 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.

    That was my first thought.

    Saints appear to be the front runners and reportedly have already put a proposal to Roughy.  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.  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.  Another year or two under the master wouldn't hurt either Pit.

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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
