Chocco you are a legend, the gorup clearly means something to him and the burn is there to see things through with their development.

Tom Morris you're also a legend for breaking the story (not really but you get it) 

 

I love this!   Many of our youngsters are developing beautifully under Choco’s unique style and guidance, and we have another group of high-end youngsters joining our Club in a couple of months.  Well done Choco and the Melbourne Footy Club!


I am really happy for Choco to continue. Brings a real toughness mixed with humour which I believe our side needs.

There must be something very special about our culture. People keep hanging around 

Hope this keeps rubbing off onto our supporters…..make sure you rock up to the G this weekend 

 

He must be getting offers with the number of teams who are looking for coaches and assistants etc. Very happy he is staying. 

I bet he was! AFL clubs are always eyeing our ooc players and staff. They'd poach the orange peeler if we turned our backs for a minute.


Echo these words. The speech he made at the presentation was pure football, with a combination of highs and lows, and the grass roots stuff to the professional levels required, which many aspiring participants should listen too,

Choco loves the club and the players. He has developed a lot of these blokes coming through and sees the value in his work.  He’s a footy man through and through.

Never thought I could say I love a Port Adelaide legend but in the case of Choco Im happy to make an exception.

I love what Mark Choco Williams has bought to Melbourne he refines them, lifts them up to AFL level but also keeps them well grounded so they don’t get ahead of themselves. A fair dinkum Legend of the game and he is ours for another twelve months at least.💕


I am over the moon with this news!

I think Mark "Choco" Williams is brilliant.

To have him stay on at the Melbourne Demons is fantastic!

 

Awesome news, onya Choco!

One of the great footy characters & personalities.

A strong voice of clarity around the boys on game day, both at senior and Casey level.

Not to mention his drive to see every player reach his best potential,  regardless of which level they're playing.

His humour is out there as well.

On Moose's 150th at Sandy a few weeks back he was yelling at the assistants to drag Moose to the sidelines so he could grab a happy snap of him standing under a rainbow (which had emerged behind the field on the opposite side).

When the request was refused because Moose was actually out in the middle playing, Choco told the assistant he would be lucky to get a gig the following week and then started yelling out to Moose himself.... "Moose get over here.... Moose... Moose"!

Yeah well it happens I guess.

Chocco, Richo, Perty etc. As long as the flags keep rolling in who gives a tin.

Fabulous news for the club.  
Now he needs to restart his kicking academy which appears to have paused last season.  
GO DEES.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
