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 has been in the system long enough and coached this own sides at afl and vfl. His time had passed

    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...

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
