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: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
