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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
