Voss and Hird didn't do an apprenticeship, Neeld didn't even play AFL did he? Back to the thread, so you would appoint Jade when if Goodwin get the chop? Don't think so

    Yep many of their supporters can be right pains in the [censored] and carry on whenever they happen to be going along alright as if they're the next AFL messiah.  Mind you they aren't alone here.  There's a few other Vic club supporters with similar traits.

    The fact they owned us for quite some time with a mediocre side was an even bigger pain!   Great to see them holding up the right end of the ladder instead of balancing it in the middle rungs and out performing their list.

    No I wouldn't, and nowhere did I say that. You didn't say anything about apprenticeships, you said Rawlings won't make a good senior coach because he doesn't have "mongrel". Just gave you 3 'mongrels' who were failures as senior coaches.

    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 ... 

    This is so far from the truth.

    As you would appreciate a good coach needs lots of attributes.

    Strangely after the back and forth, you actually agree he isn't a senior coach. Why dont you think he would make a good coach?

    I never said he wouldn't make a good coach. My opinion is he needs a bit more experience, that's pretty much it.

    If you ask the Casey boys, they all loved him as their head coach, and the MFC players all speak highly of him as well.

    I think he'll be a senior AFL coach at some stage, just not quite yet.

    He played 74 games at Geelong and Richmond.  A footy fan would probably be aware of this.

    Richmond and Geelong will be happy to hear you don't consider them AFL standard!

    l said often. If l look at the premiership winning senior coaches of recent times over half had mongrel or were ultra competitive types as players. They clearly need to have other attributes but the former helps

    Either the bros fell out of love or GM Football (or someone on high) overruled the coach on who is on his team...

     

    As an aside, one has to wonder who is pulling the strings at North - plenty of ex-players putting their bib in.  In a world of hurt...

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
