I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big....

Whaddya think, Coq?

 

Ablett was the greatest player I ever saw. I withdraw all foolish comments.

Based on corrections in this and other threads, and a quick check of an Albanian dictionary, I would like to confirm a crucial fact -

It's Y'ze, not Yze.

So it’s pronounced “Why-Zee”?

Very good McQueen, I fully support your post - except there's no apostrophe in 'its' as a possessive article.

You missed the unnecessary capitalisation..... ?

Interesting? NOT.

Now that this thread has turned to official unmitigated garbage I'll bother to note that I wrote 'interneting' as opposed to 'interesting'. It's not interesting at all. This thread or a particular poster should be culled.

It’s a full time job keeping on top of iOS spellcheck errors, fella’s. 
Gotta let a few slip by. 

 

We missed out on Voss. Tried hard to get him to move. But he is staying with Port

Does the attention move to Yze now??

Good pick up. My defence? I was lying in bed about to kip. Otherwise you got me. 

 

PS: McQueen's done it again with "fella's" but it's way too pedantic even for me to go at him again. This thread has been waylaid far too much thanks to the Coq Tete.

Excellent point Steve.

Over the years, some of my best smut has been deleted and yet the above dull rubbish continues to clog and derail a thread.

I think it's pronounced OOZAIR.  Teammates used to call him "knock knock"

But why on earth would Goodwin take any more notice of him that he has with other assistants.

Two time premiership player - I know what I'm doing.?

What's this story about Goodwin ever taking any input from assistants.  I know directly from Brendan McCartney that they had a close and fruitful relationship.  When Macca left everything he said was positive about Goodwin.

We’ve accepted mediocrity for far too long in all departments. I don’t want people back who’ve participated in that mediocrity in whatever role: player, coach or any administrative role.

Poster?

I'd say we wanted Yze, Voss and Leppitsch. Reckon we'll get at least one of them.

Voss has been spoken with and he is staying with Ken. 
The other 2 i have no information on at this point

Not sure we want/need both Voss and Richardson? Starts to get a bit top heavy I would have thought.

Obviously, Richardson isn't currently a line coach, but I wonder what he'd think of taking on the role of Development coach as well as overseeing coaching? He did start as a development coach.

With reduced soft cap to go around, if we could get 5 line coaches to take care of our needs that'd be great.

Forward / Match Day Strategy & Opposition (his role in 2020 at Hawthorn) - Adem Yze

Midfield - Adam Kingsley / Matthew Knights

Back - Leppitsch (still hopeful ;) )

Ruck - Greg Stafford (or someone new...)

Development & Director of Coaching - Alan Richardson

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
