    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 would like to hear from the chess master.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
