Does anyone know what Mark's contract reads? Is he up for grabs next year?

This man gets the most out of what his got, week in, week out. I for one would love to see what he can do with the full senior list at AFL level.

I would have thought the experience of 3 flags in a row earns him a chance. I believe the best coaches get the most out of what they have, and he has proven he can do that. He changes things up in games when things aren't going Sandy's way with more positive results than negative.

I know most people want champion AFL players to coach AFL teams, but I think it comes down to a charismatic respected human being with a brain, and a proven resume.

...it's funny, coz I think I know where you're coming from, it's just hard to focus and take it seriously when below your text is that graphic of one of the saddest stories so far for 2007.

The artist of that graphic is talented, just a little disturbed.

what you mean saddest stories of 07?

....Brown coming to terms that he won't be able to play footy again, is currently the saddest story for 2007. Celebrating that break in a graphic is tasteless IMO.

It's Celebrating 'Whealen the Wrecker' and the little hardness still left in our game, you must be more of a Cameron Bruce person.

Err. Whelan fell on his leg, there's nothing hard or tough about that, it was just a sheer accident. Anyone from Rodney Grinter to Ryan Houlihan could've done that.

we'll it happened in front of me and it looked like a fearless smoother from where I was sitting, straight onto the kicking leg.

Anyway, back on topic people!

here's a thought, if you're celebrating Wheels' selfless act of smothering the footy, why not have the pre-break moment as the image?

:huh:

...oh that's right, coz you're a clown.

so now your changing your story to say it was a great smother/selfless act? not wheels falling over?

lame ones like you are why AFL is becoming a non contact sport, go play with your lippy and netball skirt keeping yourself out of this thread, its not about me.

Thanks for the entertainment BIGPOND. I've had a busy morning dealing with the real world, so your hit and miss put a smile on my face.

If anyone here can point out where in this thread I had "a story", i'd appreciate your view.

As far as I can see, I have only commented on the strength of the artist's drawing, but was bemused why it chose to highlight such a graphic and sad moment in time.

I have always viewed Wheels as a selfless hero... and still think that if you saw him as that too, an image of him midair diving on the footy would make a better point than the image you have chosen, which clearly focuses on the pain and suffering Brown is going through.

....so back to my first point, it's hard to take you seriously.

it was nasher who said 'fell' not finks bigpond. also im interested to know, do you think wheelan meant to fall across his leg (and break it) or do you think he meant to smoother the ball and the fact that he fell was an accidental part of the play?

what finks is saying is that the smother was the courageous selfless part of the play. wheelan smothering the ball at physical risk to himslef was tough. but your picture indicates that wheelan got sadistic pleasure out of watching nathan brown sitting there injured, when in fact wheelan is the one who flagged attention to it and tried to get the medicos out there...

celebrating hard footy is one thing, deriving pleasure from someone elses pain is a bit strange...

Gary O'Donnell!! Mathews right hand man for the last 7+ years. Also if he could bring Voss on as the midfield coach, that would be a huge plus (haven’t been happy with the skills and direction of the mid field under Williams, not saying its all him but we did see immediate results when Ratten came in, was hoping for the same under Williams)

Nathan Buckley would be ideal, he is a true leader of men and one of the best football brains going around.

he is still on the pies list! to be honest im not sure you want someone first year out of playing...

and out of interest, do we need to keep the traditional coaching structure? has anyone thought of a coaching panel who work together? could that work? we could have a tactics and match day coach along with the others rather than a head coach. does anyone think this sort of set up could work? or a case of too many cooks spoil the broth?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
