He will be good. Understands the modern game very well

    Doesn't really understand anything from the coaches perspective.

    Modern day players don't have a clue what goes on in the coaches box, they only know the little that has to do with their own position.

    Any player that goes into coaching as an assistant says they didn't know what hit them.

    They didn't know the half of what goes on.

    Then it's another step up to the top job.

    This appointment is a retrograde step to my mind...

    The game has gone past just a couple of ex players sitting on the couch.

    They're going with their personality pick rather than someone with a coaching background in the modern game.

    As footy fans and people that take a real interest in the game, we deserve better.

    Brad Scott, a left field choice perhaps. I know he has a job in the AFL but the others all have jobs off the couch, it shouldn't preclude someone like him.

    So, if we look at all the TV footy media 9 have picked up Lyon, a good get.

    ...but they cancel it out with Lloyd. Right up there in the useless category.

    Apart from Lyon the only other coach I can think of on TV is Mathews and he's long past it, doesn't really know the players and doesn't do his homework.

    Players are on the ground doing the work. I like the way Nick speaks

    He will be fine

    I see it from the other side. Coaches make  the moves

    Players do the job

    What’s your point rjay?
    When did Healy coach?

    When did Brown coach?

    Dunstall?

    Sheehan?

    etc. 

    I think Riewoldt is the pick of the (small) bunch.

    I think the old model worked for then but now the game is more coached than ever, for better or worse.

    Reckon football media is behind the times with little to no new ideas.

    My point is there should be at least one coach on the panel.

    One coach off, one coach on. Not another player.

    Take Nick on but get rid of one of the others.

    Dunstall who is no longer on the show was the pick of that bunch for mine...an astute football brain.

    I see where you’re coming from but my issue is that if you only have one coach, you’re effectively only getting one opinion on this show irregardless of the debate they contrive. 
    But saying that, even on 360 the coaches seemed to align their views more often than not and it was all pretty meh. 
    Maybe recently retired players will provide greater value insights to us after all as opposed to the antiquated views of the likes of Roos. 

    Can only wait and see now.

    I would rather listen to Nick Reiwoldt analyze a situation than the cryptic rambling of Ross Lyon any day

    We differ greatly on this.

    ...and remember, Lyon is not coaching a club now so I expect him to be quite illuminating rather than cryptic.

    I wonder if David King had thought he was about to get his old job back... 

    To be fair Roo is probably the best of them left. They could have taken a big risk and get Hird back. At least he has, albeit completely tarnished, coaching experience.

    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.

    To be perfectly honest i think Roos leaving is a big loss for Fox, as for the Footy public generally, not so much. Probably we might find it a gain.

    Being one who also finds it hard not to speak straight, i could fully appreciate the conditions he would have worked under there.

     As to his comments, successful coaches meld to players not to media hacks....eg Barassi, Blight and Sheedy

    • 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.
