Talk of Nick Reiwoldt taking his position in "On the Couch".

They need an ex coach who hasn't checked out to take the position if they are serious...can't be just an ex players view as they don't have the whole picture.

Wallace would be my first choice but I think he's headed towards retirement.

Please not Nick...

    To be perfectly honest i don't think roos leaving is much loss. i rarely found his comments interesting or particularly insightful. And he often had biases that he struggled to hide.

    Roos offered so little OTC he made Brown and Lyon sound interesting. Sadly nothing could save Healy.

    At some stage to get paid to talk about football you should probably offer more than defend, defend harder and have good culture.

    Paul Roos  insight on our game is second to none and is  hard  to replace  someone of his caliber. He is the thought before the talk.

    Just noticed you wrote Eddie, I thought it was Eade when I read it before.

    I guess that was wishful thinking, it would have made interesting viewing.

    Dumb down Eddie, not so interesting...in fact not interesting at all.

    Yeah, don't know about that one.

    I'm sure he'd offer some great insights, but think he'd put me to sleep with his monotone slow drawl going of the clipits of his press conferences that I recall, although he does also have that bit of a tendency to err on the whacky side of the ledger at times too, so could work.

    Eade would be a good one.

    For entertainment value only I’d give Grant Thomas or Malthouse a go, but then you might as well go the whole hog and drag in Ricky Nixon.

    Congatulations on the layers of meaning in the bolded phrase. Pig allusion, Ru Paul possibilities and RN dragged through the muck

    Roos will be judged on his coaching successes rather than his  TV conversations......If the networks want to pay him for his opinion, then good luck to him.

    Still remains as one of the most revered coaches of the modern era & his contribution to the MFC was significant.

    In other important news, my skid marks are a darker shade of brown during the heatwave.

    It's a bit of a loss, definitely gave a good side to a discussion, would like to see another ex coach in there. I'd suggest Ross Lyon but I'd also assume watching paint dry would be a more pleasurable experience.

    have you tried a good flocculator, biffo?. Bunnings has a good one, even uncle bitters is impressed. by its effectiveness and that's saying something considering the regular state of his under garments

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
