Really good appointment, with such a wealth of young talent, he will  be a great fit , he has a great footy mind and great footy person.

Great appointment.

I like this. If Goody falls on his sword we have a natural back up; sort of a reverse succession plan.

    Don’t mind it. Reeeeeeally don’t mind it!

    Good to see the club on the front foot and reckon Choco will be give great guidance to some of our leaders as well as youngsters. 

    Welcome!

    Very very good get, success has followed him everywhere he has been.  Great backboard for goody and apparently is on of the best at getting talent out of individuals especially in young kids.  Not his role but hope he still has a bit to do with the playing group!

    Can someone explain why everyone is so excited. Do any of you actually know what he brings?

    AFL premiership coach at Port and key in developing Richmond into a premiership dynasty. Helped develop Dusty into a star and Cotchin from worst captain in the league to 3 time premiership captain? Nah his CV is rubbish ;)

    Maybe you can start by enlightening us all of what he 'doesn't' bring.

    The only thing missing now is to see the coaching set up to work to a common goal for the good of the Club and to get the glory of a first premiership in six decades. mark williams may prove to be the best appointement of them all.

    I wasn’t criticising the appointment at all just looking for some detail but I guess it’s fairly obvious

    I think even Kane Cornes will like this appointment....not that we need to pass the Kane test but he is a big wrap for Williams.

     Best news of the season so far. Great get, he knows his stuff inside and out. 
     

    Good insurance too if Goodwin doesn’t perform again next season. Would be happy to see him in the top job if the opportunity arises.

    Have you forgotten Yze? I sure he has come on board with the view to coach us in a year or two.

    We have a former premiership coach coming in as an assistant coach specialised the area where he has perhaps even better reputation than as a head coach?

    Well, I'll be darned.

    Burgess, Yze, Williams...  we are not messing around when it comes to securing footy department people to fill specific identified needs.

    Is his nickname still Choco and is that in anyway referencing his complexion?

    Just a straight answer here please. I don't want to derail the bloody thread..

    No mate but Williams is a premiership winning coach and a good track record m developing players. 
     

    Cant beat that. 
     

    I like Yze but I really am not in favour of another rookie coach.

    Both great appointments but Williams has more runs on the board. If i had to choose between the 2 i'd choose Chocco.

    As I heard from the horses mouth, Chocco came asking for a job in 2019 and was knocked back. Good to have him where he clearly wants to be.

    Given how bad our player development has been this is a great appointment imo.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
