The Sandy coach as he has won 3 flags in 3 years he must be worth a go what do you think?

    Gary Lyon might consider

    John Longmire seems to be flavour of the month

    Grant Thomas isn't doing too much

    Shane Warne might be interested

    why would you want a untried coach like lyon or voss.

    all they have is a name and ego just look at tim watson or tony show dont we want someone with back ground

    so we can make a change for the better. lets face it we have some great blokes in the red and blue

    Gary Odonnell assistant to Mathews whilst they won 3 flags and played in 4 grand finals and now at Essendon.

    Mark Harvey assistant to Sheedy during 2000 Flag

    John Longmire assistant to Roos 1 flag & 2 Grand Finals

    All three above have been a part of winning culture and strong mental toughness as players and as assistants to teams that have shown the culture & leadership required to win flags

    Longmire, O'Donnell, Ratten ??

    Ratten would be a bit out there, he was credited with making our midfield tougher in the year that he was here. Viney might be a someone to consider, but i don't think he's had much AFL coach experience, i know he's had other experience though. I like the idea of going for someone a bit left-field, but i think I'll hurl if Lyon becomes our coach next year.

    This is, of course, assume our season continues it's uncontrollable nose-dive. If we make top 4 as we all expected at the start i think we can let Neal off the hook!

    I would be very surprised if gazza ever took up th eposition at Deeland..( maybe elsewhere ).. he will be EXPECTED to win a flag...anything less and it will be a let down..

    They are mighty intimidating circumstances to take on a club not in the best of shape.

    Left field may be quite ok.. Neil Craig certainly came from there.

    Maybe the club could take on one of the current assistants but at same time get on board someone with experience ..but retired from day to day footy...to act as some sort of part time mentor as well. Its done with players...why not a coach.?

    It appears that O'Donnell wants to be an administrator. What about Sheedy, Pagan or Malthouse if any of them are available? Not as silly as it sounds. None of them tolerate mental softness.

    I'd like him gone regardless.

    Lyon has had SOME coaching experience coaching the australian team to ireland a couple if times didnt he? obviously nothing like coaching an fl team but experience none the less

    sheedy if available

    longmire or odonnell would be nice

    mckenna

    ratten would be a good one too, loved his work with us before

    think harvey has missed his boat

    would love voss as a assistant

    garry lyon said on triple M the other week that he will NOT coach afl football next year and possibly never! and the way he was saying it i beleive the never bit

    I agree, there's just too much work for coaches to do in modern footy to give it to someone without any prior experience of any form.

    • 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.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
