I'd bring in Ian Ziering. You don't survive 7 Sharknados without knowing a thing or two about leading young men.

    Unless he’s a double agent and in cahoots with the sharks. Don’t need any of those types inside the club

    One of the worst actors of all time. Sharknado possibly the worst movie of all time.

    Where could we go wrong?

    Just give the job to Daisy.

    Her coaching would probably be wayyyyyy too logical to comprehend.

    I've been banging on about Nathan Basset for years. Will bang on once again: Nathan Basset. I'm confused why he isn't at the Demons already.

    wouldn't go near buckley - he took the filth backwards every year with the exception of 2018 which feels like the exception that proves the rule

    i'm definitely keen on stevie j

    With you on Buckley. He's a one-man premiership avoidance zone.

    Poach the Collingwood ball movement coach

    Wouldn't work.
    Very few of our players have the disposal skills needed.

    People probably though the same of the pies players after they finished bottom 4 last year.

    The pies made a granny in 2018, a Prelim in '19 and a semi in' 20.

    The idea that their list is less developed or worse than ours is a furphy. 

    They have far better balance across their list and they are a much better ball movement side because of this. They can move the ball the way they do because of their list and not their coach. We've implemented a game-plan that is suited to our list's strengths so if we want that to change, list changes and positions will need to also be changed.

    Bowey, Spargo, Salem & Petty great kicks.

    Salem obviously injured throughout the season after injury in round one and carrying a groin later is season. Hopefully back to best after off season.

    Bowey a little bit of 2nd year blues, but hopefully bounces back, wasn’t far off it!

    Spargo is often in clear on his own and gets ignored, hopefully they use him as an entry target into forward Line more often next year!

    Bucks’ ego is too big for an assistant coach. It’s head coach or nothing for him.

    Pendlebury and Sidebottom alone are head and shoulders above anyone we have.
    Now they've added another Daicos.
    And they didn't have too much trouble picking their way through our famous defence last year either.

    Nothing wrong with our ball movement when we played the Lions in Rd 23. Perhaps the pies are better kicks but i don't think we have a fatal flaw in this regard. Coached properly i reckon we can tweak our game plan to be more adventurous and daring

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
