I'm loving all the decisions and announcements this off-season.

 

At least we don't die wondering!

I'm conflicted because I've made my thoughts on Lewis clear but I also don't mind the idea that he's kept inside the tent so can't lob potshots in and that (even if he's untested as a coach) we've finally bought someone in to focus on kicking.


A few of the usual suspects may need some humble pie over this appointment.

I guess he didn't depart in the manner their agendas suggested he did

 

There seem to be a lot of excellent decisions going on behind the scenes.

Really good appointment. Lewis was a beautiful kick and decision maker for most of his career, so hopefully he is able to coach those skills into our players. Our kicking skills and decision making is obviously a weakness, so good it’s officially being addressed.

Have said for a long time I think Lewis will make a good coach one day. He’s a very smart guy and seems an astute communicator and mentor.


Onya Lewy and well done MFC.

TGR will be beside himself.  Not sure if I can handle the thought of two of him.

Hang on! Wasn't he upset at Goodwin, the players etc etc.... 

That Goodwin, he is so stubborn eh!

Interesting appointment.


Where are all the experts saying he’d never stick around cause he had a media career waiting for him at? 

Love everything about this. Footy minds like lewy’s don’t grow on trees. This is another tick for what’s shaping to be a really good offseason so far. 

Hang on... I thought he never fully committed to the club..?  This is most strange.

 

(great appointment!)

Really rapt about this appointment. 

There is so much players can learn from him.  He went to Casey with good grace and worked hard to help them with their game and their development.  So he will be a terrific boost to our development staff and in some respects replaces Macca in that role.  Mahoney:  “What he brought to us in his three years as a player, we now look to add to in a coaching and mentoring role."

He has a really good footy brain and I'm sure that will be really valuable for game plans and at coaching meetings.

Huge that we could convince him to join the coaching panel.  Our player development wasn't great this year so Lewis will help re-balance that.

And he will continue his media commitments:  “We were able to work out a role that would work for both the club and myself, in terms of not conflicting with my media commitments, but also ensuring I will be available at the club..."

There does indeed.

For once I am going to resist the temptation to be a smart [censored] and simply point out there are a number of posters  who have had a clear agenda to paint the club as being in crisis. And provided zero evidence other than sculltebut and ghost like rumours to prosecute that case.

The is goody the right coach was the favoured medium for this cabal. When I have pushed back on this front some have accused me of being a club lackey. Some of the less credible of this group have hilariously, seemingly seriously  suggested I am an mfc employee reverse trolling.

Well that group have gone very quiet of late as the evidence builds of a club that is the very opposite of the baskstcae some have tried so hard to paint us as.

"People think kicking is solely technical but there are so many other elements, so hopefully we can teach the players to make better decisions, or easier decisions, so that the technical side becomes easier.”

At least someone gets it.

So Lewy has come back to the club I see?

But I swear I read a certain someone write on here that Sam Frost bleeds more for this club then Lewis does....?

If you actually wanted to avoid being a smart so-and-so you wouldnt have posted this, becauset the rest of your post is nothing BUT being a smart so-and-so.........

Cant say i disagree with it though.... other than the lack of (announced) progress with a permanent home, we are seemingly making all the right moves.

Anyone who is criticising MFC right now is deliberately missing the big picture.

Bring on 2020. We will be a very different beast next year imo.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
