Casey Coach Steps Down

Good luck to Sam going back to coaching and a small role at the club.

I don’t understand why the Casey job is going to be part time. Surely it’s too important not to be a full time person even if they split their time with more at AFL development level. 
 

There has to be a strong connection with the AFL and VFL sides. We can’t go back to players doing one thing at Casey and another AFL level 

Edit: Unless this means it’s a part time role moved in to someone else’s job portfolio. Ie. Someone with more afl experience

    Probably due to the reduced soft cap. I suspect that your  last statement will prove to be correct.  The reduced soft cap forces difficult choices.

    Hawthorn have made their VFL coach part-time giving it to Sam Mitchell who will also be their Development Coach. 

    Good experience for Sam coaching his own team before succeeding Clarkson.

    I heard this, too - seems like a good idea. I wonder who it will be...

    This is a prime opportunity for the Demons to finally sign up Mark "Choco" Williams as their new coach of the Casey Demons in the VFL and also make him head of development. I am confident he would jump at the chance of taking on that role here at the Melbourne Football Club.

    I have been pushing this for a while but I hope with the Demons having a review at the moment that we will now finally look to give Mark "Choco" Williams the chance to be involved at our club. We certainly need good quality people at the Demons and we need to make sure development is a priority at our club as this has always been a big issue for us.

    I think this would be an excellent idea - he’s great with the younger players: he was instrumental in Dustin Martin’s rise to the top.

    I was actually thinking this, when I heard it on SEN this afternoon. They were asking what would happen if Clarko kept going and going - I thought that I know a place where he could get a start in the top job!

    I wouldn't be surprised if Egan ends up with the gig or if they even go back to Plapp to tie in with their other responsibilities.

    Will be interesting to see.

    I'm drawing a link in my mind between this and Nathan Jones playing on for 2021.

    Am I crazy?  Casey will need leaders when on-field resources are tight, Jones will need something to do when he's not in that magical last burst of refreshed form that will bring him to a triumphant 300.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
