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.

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

    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

    • 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.
