    Wow!
    Just caught up with the interview. 
    What an amazing man to have on board - wide experience, humble, enthusiastic and aware of the needs of developing players, and the club as a whole. We are indeed fortunate to have found him when we did.  Basic skills and life management    

    All speculation, of course, but one can’t  but wonder what effect he would / could have had on our run of top picks including Watts, Trengove, (he who must not be named), Strauss, and soon. 
     

    Kudos to whomever sought him out.

    Tony, I think Mark is the type of bloke that inspires initially but after a time he may tend to irritate - particularly the other coaches. I think he has a shelf life of about 3 years. 

    That's quite a bit of speculation there NC but you do have a judgemental tendency.

    Bedford

    Gawn

    ANB

    Who’s Brilliant? ? What position does he play? ?

    I think it is Deakyn Smith who missed a season of football along with Bowey Laurie and Rosman all of who will benefit from the coaching of Williams who is accelerating the development of players at the club.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
