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

*Vomits

Where I come from I would get kicked out of home for barracking for Collingwood, so I absolutely do not want a hack like Buckley coaching. Or for that matter a complete idiot like Mark Williams. Gary Lyon has no experience. Essendon has stuck with Sheeds through thick and thin we can do the same have some patience!

And spare me the diatribe about how great Buckley is please

Buckley is a hack?

yeah that brownlow was a complete fluke.

Mark Williams an idiot?

do you have any idea what you are talking about?

I think Mark Williams would be good for the role. would rather him chosen than buckley or voss.

I think that they should take assistant coaching roles at other clubs to get more of an idea about coaching before jumping headlong into a full coaching position.

Bigpond your picture is horrible and i think Matty Whelan would be horrified if he thought you were honoring him for that.

I'm with you Davis......

It was awful at the time, and the horrible result was not the intention, and should not be honoured.

Add me to the condemnation list........the pic is in poor taste Bigpond........something I'd expect from a Pies supporter, not an MFC supporter!

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)

This comes from a former Lions Board member - Lethal told the board that in his opinion Gary, whilst being a great assistant and a having a very good football brain, would never make it as a senior coach. He said that Gary was not good at making the "hard" decisions, and did not deliver 'bad news' to players at all well. He felt that he was too 'sentimental' to make hard headed decisions.

Just because ur opinion differs to mine does not mean I do not know what I am talking about?

Buckley is so overrated its not even funny. And I know many Melbourne supporters that also think Mark Williams is an idiot. Sorry I dont rate Buckley there are far better players in the competition than him

I dont know any MFC supporters who think OUR Mark Williams is an idiot! Perhaps you are thinking or PT Adelaide's coach Mark 'Choco' Williams???

How can a coach who has just won a hatrick of premierships be an idiot????

OUR Mark has been very impressive close up in particular after the last 2 Premierships. He has spoke very well at the celebrations after the GF wins and clearly very well respected by his players.

He is certainly more experienced and would be a surer oprion than punting on any of Buckley, Voss or G Lyon noe of whom have done any coaching apprentiship (similar risk to the Saints going with Timmy Watson c.f. R Lyon, J Longmire, M Harvey etc.)

I do agree with you that buckley is overated.

But he still is an awesome player. certainly not a hack.

your allowed to your opinion yes.

and its my opinion that you dont know what your talking about.

Can you please tell me why you think Mark Williams is an idiot?

Bigpond. thanks for taking the picture down. it was for the best.

I think that Melbourne should get Guy McKenna in - he was a premiership player, a stright shooter, and tough. He also would bring a group of people needed to get the current culture in the club right.

I saw Mark Williams today. I have to say, he is enourmous; the guy must work out heaps. Seriously. The guy is massive...

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
