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.


This is a very, very good get by the club.

Well done Pert and co.

 

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
