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.

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
