    Not much to the article just stating that it’s finals or bust for the off field team. All football department positions are under review including Richardson/Mahoney. No comment on if Goodwin is under review but you would assume so. Click bait on the Brayshaw/Viney comment

    Just to clarify, the article said coaching and fitness and named several people but Mahoney wasn't one of them.  That isn't to say his position isn't being reviewed.

    I thought it was good to get some insight into likely players to be contracted.

    The review probably explains why Burgess hasn't been recontracted yet - my guess he would take up a sizeable portion of the soft cap.

    Any idea if it's an internal or external review? And which players were mentioned?

    It didn't say.

    Simeon Thomas-Wilson (don't know who that is) did a complete list analysis.  Too long to repeat but if there is anyone that interests you I can pick that out.

    Edit: thought it easier to pm to you - it should be in your inbox.

    You’re right it did say that they are “assessing all senior positions including the coaching staff and fitness department.” Would have thought Mahoney fell under that umbrella.

    Tehnically Mahoney doesn't fall in one of those departments as he is the boss of coaching and fitness (and other departments)

    Will be bitterly disappointed if Mahoney's position isn't reviewed.

    If anyone needs the article sent just get in touch via PM and i'll copy it across for you.

    As for the article itself, this comes as no surprise and is a welcome development to kick off our off-season.  You would expect a few of those guys not to be with the club when our pre-season kicks off later in the year.

    nothing concrete in that story at all

    the general vibe around the trips seems to be mahoney, plapp, and probably matthews go, with richardson moving into mahoney's role

    i've not heard anything re chaplin and, quite frankly, our defence was strong this year so i'd be hesitant to shake things up enormously back there

    no idea re who they're looking at replacements in the coaching ranks

    Well nothing can be concrete at this stage until the review is done.

    The one positive is that the review is taking place, as it should.

    Hopefully that means a complete review of every individual with no free passes. Hope  Pert has someone more qualified helping him. He doesn’t have the background to access decision making of a lot of those positions. 
    I wouldn’t have thought it had started now but is in the final stages. Not having 1on1s with the players would be a wasted process.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
