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.💕


One of the actual reasons for the club’s recent competitiveness.

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

  • PREGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
