    Too right, binman.  Can't say "champagne comedy" any more because of that.  Now it's just "sparkling wit".

    I know new recruits always have to give the usual positive spin, but found these couple of quotes interesting from Twig (or maybe I'm reading too much into it):

    “It was quite clear where he sees the group are currently at, and where he believes they can get to. Rhyce’s understanding of where they’re at really impressed me."

    “I was probably looking for a bit more meat on the bone in terms of the role, and Rhyce and North Melbourne were able to provide that. I’m genuinely excited about.” 

    Rawlings looks to future

    This has worked out well for both at the moment.

    Who says it hasn't worked out well for Rawlings? Clearly wasn't happy at Melbourne with how they mucked around his role, seems to have a more settled role now. Weird bump.

    Bloke will be a senior coach at some stage. Smart footy person, good communicator, not a 'yes man' like Goody wants. He was a loss for us.

    Shaw very much strikes me as an interim coach. Another Brendan Bolton. Lose so many games that you can build from the draft and then get fired, only for a better coach to take over.

    I know we often give it to Goodwin for being overly positive after a loss but Shaw sounds so negative regardless of the outcome. 

    I can't see him lasting too long.

    What does he have to be positive about? ?

    Jade is likeable and a very good line coach but that's it. Doesn't have the presence of a senior coach or the advanced people smarts to get the best out of players.

    Yet he very nearly got the Freo job because their board were so impressed with him.

    I'd suggest he has missed out on a few senior gigs by now not just that one. There is a dearth of coaches capable ready to step up at the moment so Robert Harvey, Jade Rawlings and others keep presenting but never get the main gigs. Its like the girl you have know for ages and are great friends with but would never go out with them :)

    Demons, I don't entirely agree with that. I saw enough games at Casey to witness a coach with the capacity to completely hold player attention (certainly within a game day context)

    I'd also suggest that many would have thought similar about Hardwick prior to success and Clarkson when he first started.

    Take your point, although I'm not sure that a good senior coach at VFL level is going to be a good coach at AFL level. Often the better coaches are types that played with mongrel or extreme levels of competitiveness and can keep players on edge and their teams tend to play a similar style ...

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’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 Melbourne’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?
