    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.

    But we will still have Goody Mr. Leg!

    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.

    …in more ways than one. ?

    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*

    I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this stage.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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.
