Improving the Demons coaching staff for 2023?

I definitely agree that any recently retired AFL player who has a passion for coaching should at least be considered.

In my view I would be giving Brett Ratten a call and seeing if he is interested in possibly taking on an assistant coaching role at the Demons (again). Especially, if we end up losing Adem Yze to the Saints.

Mark McVeigh would be the best.

    Just hearing Stevie J has taken on a head coach role for Yarrawonga.
     

    Shame, would have loved him as the forward coach, but was probably never really a chance given his aspirations.

    There will definitely be a few possible coaches available!

    Joel Selwood?

    Mark McVeigh?

    Brett Ratten?

    Nathan Jones?

    James Hird?

    A lot will also depend upon who ends up getting the recently vacated St. Kilda coach position? 🤔

    Imagine Selwood coaching Viney. Would love to be a fly on the wall for that.

    We shouldn't be letting Daisy go. I think she's one of the best leaders this club has had in recent times.

    Would prefer to have someone who knows how the play the forward role, but do we really think Stafford is going to be moved into a different role or replaced?

    With Ben "Truck" Rutten rejoining the Richmond coaching staff we will need to look at other options.

    Particularly, IF we end up losing Adem Yze if he is successful in getting the Essendon senior coaching role.

    As much as I am sure some here would disagree, I would definitely like the Melbourne Football Club to look to approach someone like Nathan Buckley. He would be an excellent midfield coach and could still do at least some of his media commitments. It would definitely be a tantalizing offer to get the chance to coach Clayton Oliver, Christian Petracca, Jack Viney and Max Gawn in the Demons midfield. Anyway, I guess we shall have to wait and see what happens during the off season.

    Additionally, I wouldn't mind asking Nick Riewoldt if he wanted to help out as a forwards coach either.

    Are there any other suggestions on who the Demons should consider pursuing to enhance our coaching staff?

     

    We should go after Ratts now and have him as understudy to Choco Williams and even coach Casey.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
