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.

So, putting it all together we need a soft cap on a hard nut? Never mind, I'll see myself out...

Got on pretty good authority we've already had a chat to Stevie J. Being courted by a handful of Vic clubs.

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
