Surely the club could have named someone by now. They would have known ooze would depart when hardware resigned.

Unless we are being discrete because we are aiming to bring in someone from one of the Grand Final teams.

Obviously Leppitsch from Collingwood would be a premium (premier?) acquisition.

Cameron Bruce, midfield and stoppages at Brisbane, would also seem likely to be on the radar.

 

Separately, there might be a case to target Collingwood's head of performance, Jarrod Wade. Not only has he got the team playing out games superbly, but with NINE players aged 30 or over, he's had almost all of them play the full season.

Sidebottom hurt a knee medial, Howe broke an arm, and Mason Cox had a recto-cranial impaction.

So of nine players over 30, only Sidebottom's injury could even be partially considered conditioning related, and they've all been playing good, mobile football.

    Yes but the Tigers passed on him as their future head coach so he might have his limitations

    And there are quite a few head coaches that are on the boundary now so we may be looking at all the chief assistants that are upstairs

    So how many head coaches are boundary-side now? 

    How many roles did Yze miss out on prior to this?

    Don't know but Robert Harvey might have set the record for interviews

    In terms of walking into the cushiest coaching job, Chris Scott would have to be in front of the rest

    Craig McRae inherited a good list too.  And Roos set things up in a reasonably good way for Goodwin

    Going right back, Big Nick taking over from Barassi?

    I reckon Dimma at the Suns will be fruitful

    What about McQualter as head assistant and Cotchin as midfields coach ?

    I would promote either Chaplin or Williams as the senior assistant and bring in a junior coach along with another development coach.If not Bassett or Blakey would do me fine.

    Not enough love here for our own Mick Stinnear. He definitely deserves a shot as an assistant with the boys. Incredible what he's done with the girls team

    After Saturdays win I would throw the kitchen sink at Leppitch he was responsible for the set ups Saturday as stated by McRae and add  the promise he would become our next Senior coach  it seems the Richmond style is successful look at GWS and Collingwood also lure Neville Jetta back

    Leppitch is definitely someone who I think would be a heap better in his second shot at head coaching.

    Either one of McQualter or Stinnear would be a great appointment.

    James Harmes at the TAB Spring Fling says new Tigers coach Adem Yze is all about offence, taking the ball through the corridor. Says Simon Goodwin even had to hold him back at times.
     

    Yze needed to push this more !! Dees went too wide and too slow during most games. Hopefully the replacement can convince Goodwin how to best attack into forward 50 !!!

    Interesting if true

    We did this a lot during pre-season. After about 6 or 7 rounds we went back to our old ways with Goodwin (presumably) not happy with how we can defend a turnover in the corridor.

    We became tired old melbourne, kick to the left, down the line, force a stoppage, kick a point.

    CHanges are needed. And its not just the Assistant by the sounds of things.

    Goodwin still thinks it's 2017 and that we can't defend.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
