    Where?

    Huge if true? He was very well loved by the players at Richmond. 

    Can he bring Tom Lynch and Shai Bolton.

    Heard earlier today but wasn’t sure.

    Channel 7 news confirmed it tonight broadcasting from Richmond Best and Fairest.

    Excellent get. He is a very experienced and highly loved coach with plenty of premiership success under his belt.

    To be fair, he didn't have much to work with. Houston had a good year but the rest of the backline, including the overrated Allir Allir are strugglers. Forward line lacks quality personnel as well. Bit like our supporters blaming Stafford for our forward woes when we can't get our forwards on the park. And when we do, the mids sit it on the forwards heads.

    That's not true Stafford has had 2 years to solve our forward issues no injuries and some. But no result

    I think there is a three pronged improvement for us next year; better forward talent, better ball movement, and better forward movement and structure. 

    The first one is trade period, the second one I hope is an FD as a collective mindset shift with hopefully mcQualter driving that, and the third is a forwards coach with a system and structure and discipline of movement and patterns. 

    I haven’t seen anything very impressive when I have been at games the last few years. Aside from Fritsch and Brown here and there, there is not much forward craft and structure on display.

    I see Stafford as a ruck/development coach who became an effective kicking coach, but has since been thrust into a position that may be above his station (I suspect) as a cut price option for effective soft-cap management. Maybe it’d be problematic to shift him back to purely ruck coach, but I expected with the seasonal rotation of coaching duties this was likely to happen.

    On Channel 7, Adem Yze said his focus for Richmond over the off-season would be kicking skills. I bet they hope he has more success with that for them than he had for us.

    One down, one or two to go imv. 

    Goodwin simply needs to shift his thinking more.

    We need some bigger name coaches like Leppitsch/Bolton/Pyke. 

    It's no wonder Collingwood and Carlton have leapt us, both head coaches have amazing support and experience.

    Of which the forwards coach can influence maybe only one...

    It’s become increasingly clear that the MFC acknowledges our kicking skills have cost us over the past few seasons and in particular, 2023.

    With potential for significant change (Clarry out or a supercharged version) in 2024, there’s a hint of optimism in me. Just wish it didn’t take this long for the poor skills to be in focus.

    I’d love a mini reset for ‘24, if we did lose Clarry and landed Reid + one or two of the other top enders, we’d suddenly have more scope to expand our game by finishing off the hard yakka.

    The way we play the game seems to be emblematic of everything the club does,  we’ve taken the difficult path for as long as I can remember.

    • 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?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
