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.

I’ll attempt to answer this. In a former role in my life, I used to manage a very large legal team at a major bank which controlled significant spend on legal firms each year just after the GFC -

I know we've been in dire straits, but I didn't expect to lose Mahoney for nothing and get Chocs for free.

Hoky feck this is huge news. I rate him extremely highly and have a mate who plays at Werribee. Reckons he's one of the best coaches he's ever played under.

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.

Excellent coach and can push a more ruthless approach, just needs to shut up sometimes

 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.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
