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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
