Haven’t heard anything, but Brad Green would be my preferred goal kicking coach. He was as close to the perfect kick for goal that this club has had.

With respect to kicking I liked what Damian Hardwick had to say this morning on coaching. IMO opinion there are 2 game styles, Hawthorn with their precise hit the target movement of the ball that won

My absolute bugbear. If you are playing at the top level set shot kicking should be a gimme in the 45 arc from the center of the goals 40 out.

Goal Kicking Coach (Part Time): Brad Green, Nick Riewoldt, David Neitz, Matthew Lloyd.

 

New position, clearly needed.

NB - No former Demons were included solely on the basis they are former Demons.

Threw up a few names early on in the assistants thread. Anyone heard any names mentioned? (Mine were just suggestions)

Its about blxxdy time!

Such an obvious thing to do!

While we are at it, an experienced forward coach please. 

All year, I've been frustrated with defenders trying to be forward coaches, especially as many of our forwards are inexperienced in their role at AFL level and are converted defenders and midfielders.  At some stage we need players who are skilled and experienced in their role.

This feels like a light bulb moment for them in charge.. lets be honest, this is a position that should be full time and coveted just as much as any position, after all, to win a game, you have to kick goals.

Not sure who it is, but its really important. Also so is 2 Assistant coaches that we have not filled yet or heard anything about. Must be news about these positions sooner rather than later.

Slowly, one by one the things many of us suggested here during the season and the company men, argued against at ever turn come to pass.  Enough to make some bark at the Moon or its shadow.

"OK guys, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm the new forwards coach. Today we'll be going over some techniques ... now when I was a defender, I preferred my forward staying nice and close. You, come over here. Stand next to me ... now, see how easy it is for me to punch the ball away? Remember that. Now, going on a lead ... go for the pockets ... right next to the boundary line ... no ... no, don't go right out in front ... we want a nice tight angle ..."

"Uh ... coach ... shouldn't you be teaching us the things you DON'T like a forward to do?"

"Oh, you'd need a forward for that."

"And ...?"

"Well, the ex forwards are coaching the defenders! They can't be in two places at once! Now, playing from behind. I used to love it when my forward played from behind ... now watch carefully ..."   (fade to black)

It's like a golfer who can't putt. You can't win if you can't score.

I also would love to see Brad Green back at the club, he certainly could assist with forward line craft as well as kicking, what a great player he was for Dee's.

Find a quote where I was against a goal kicking coach or any change of any assistants?

You can't.

First task by the new coach should be to cut out the silly snaps and around the corner kicks in the pre-game warm up. 

Remember reading an article last year on Breust, it mentioned he had a very simple and effective way of practising goal kicking prior to a match. About 15-20 shots from 20-30m directly in front. Getting the basics right, working on technique rather than trying to slot goals from M57 Olympic Stand.

I know we aren’t the only team that does this but it still bugs me big time.

As a permanent monument to your pride and folly, they will deliberately leave them unmerged.

Yes DZ not only a great player but felt he was seen as  underrated  IMO. 

 I wonder  if Brad was ever approached for a position as an assistant coach with us. 

Yes he had forward craft and was a consistent set shot.

Absolute textbook technique- would have to be a leading candidate.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
