    Harvey to be the caretaker coach for the entire 2022 season? I read today that Clarkson will coach Hawthorn next season before handing the reigns over to Mitchell. 

    I reckon the AFL will give Dew another season then pay whatever it takes to get Clarko up there for 2023 if next season is another failure.

    Let’s wait and see how the remainder of the season pans out to determine how valuable Williams is to this group, and specifically whether he can guide us through this flat patch.

    It will be hard to move Dew....

    I like the idea of Pies and Clarko. Misery deserves company

    For what it is worth, wasn’t MarkWilliams quoted as saying he is not interested in a head coaching gig again?

    Correct but there wasn’t any coaching vacancies when he said that.

    And there you have it. As I said weeks ago, the big signing that could save a Board and keep Mitchell at Hawks. Could the quinella be Ross Lyon to Blues.

    I'll be shocked if Williams gets it.

    I'd also be shocked if Williams turned down a head coaching gig, regardless of any public proclamations to the contrary.

    Choco will be 63 in August.

    He won’t get a senior gig again. Yze could and that is a worry, as we have already lost Burgess.

    He won't get a senior gig at the Pies or anywhere. Everyone knows he's mad as a cut snake and who would trust their precious senior squad with someone like that. (I can recall when Malcolm Blight was considered too crazy to be a senior coach any more.) He's found his niche at this stage of his life as a development coach and if he goes anywhere, it will be as that.

    Rumors around are Yze will get the job with Williams as the assistant. So at the end of the year could be Yze, Williams and Burgess gone.

    That sounds like the peak MFCSS scenario.

    Yze could only leave if it was a senior coaching position - that is usually the gentleman's agreement with club and coaching staff.  WHy would Choco go to the same position at another club? 

    A left field scenario could be to reunite Clarko, Yze and Williams and let Goodwin goto the Pies in exchange for Maynard. *sarcasm*

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
