Grigg for me.

a fair onboarding. 


Grigg already gone to GC AFAIK.

Iā€™m also reliably told that he has character issues that would see some of the alleged behaviour by our coach pale in comparison. Happy for him to be elsewhere.

    I know he's heavily involved in the media these days but I'd love to get Nathan Buckley. whenever he provides his analysis on football tactics and strategy I listen carefully. One of the smartest men in the room and he would have an immediate impact on our playing group. I also remember hearing he was a Melbourne supporter growing up even though he has been linked with Collingwood for most of his adult life.

    Would love Bucks, also for the aura and respect he'd command. 

    Names like his walking into a club would immediately make the players straighten up and want to impress. You can never have enough of those types of figures at clubs imv.

    Making too much money in the media, to lose it for an assistant coaching job.

    Sued for defamation by a person that by now you know @Demonland will not let anyone mention. A person whose own ego is driving a vendetta against your coach. And by extension your club. To drive home a point that humans are in fact human. That we are defined by the empathy we show or we donā€™t. 
     

    And here you are pontificating and posturing with that personā€™s activities and proclivities as the damnation of the board. But memory and history are the same on this; that person was removed and then the club unified and galvanised. But those with little to say but plenty to whine about have to yell something donā€™t they?

    Oh, and my god youā€™re an easy bite. I kiss you and throw you back - I have had my fun. Have a good swim.

    My goodness, you are fired up, late on a Sunday night.

    But your fundamental point is that the "Great and the Good" shall choose our Board, and those deplorable members should hand over their dosh; shout their lungs out, but otherwise stay well away. 

    Not how a members' Club should work my friend.

    I believe Harper Valley PTA are in strife. Could you please take an unlimited amount of your very available free hours to go over and check their Bona fixes etc. 

    No need to report back till 2030 by then we will have 100,000 members  and 15 Flags and none of our current Board will be around. 

    PS see yourself out. 
    Oh not sure we will have the Admin. rooms by then to meet you so under a tree at Goschs at training sounds fine!

    Should the replacement come from within and be Chaplin? Surely the next step for him would be a Senior Assistant role?

    Yep, I think so. He's got his level 4 coaching, if he wants to become a senior coach, the next step is becoming essentially the senior assistant.

    It's then about whether he keeps the defensive responsibility or takes mids or forwards, along with the game day strategy.

    Can you please go back to your boring thread about board governance? This is a thread about coaching!

    I think moving Chaplin would be a mistake; he is doing an outstanding job in defence.

     

     What about Richardson? Couldn't he be the game day strategist? He always did a good strategy job against us when he was at St Kilda....

    Richo should stay as Head of footy IMO, but who really knows? We don't have a great insight as supporters.

    Fair enough - I will also pass your message onto rpfc who posted on this thread:  Like with Board appointments, FMD I am glad fans have little say with appointing Yzeā€™s replacement. 

    By and large - NFI.

    I wholeheartedly agree!

    It would be great to get Nathan Buckley at the Demons.

    Brenton Sanderson is another name mentioned that could be an option for us. He is currently coaching the Balwyn Tigers in the EFL, I think? He may be worthwhile giving another opportunity at AFL level?

    Rodney Eade could also be a possible alternative choice too? Although, I don't know if he has retired from coaching or not? He was coach of the Balwyn Tigers in the EFL as well....but that was a few years ago.

    Anyway, I am sure the Melbourne Football Club will have plenty of applicants for our vacant assistant coaching roles.

    Im not your friend, pal.

    I have said this before and you choose not to get it to move on with your life - ā€˜administrationsā€™ should be just that. They should get who they want for what they want and then they can get turfed out when they get turfed out. Democracy needs that to function - your ideal of elections of ā€˜diverse opinionsā€™ of mates of yours just destabilise the board and cause issues. So you can stay in your naive little fairyland if you want to but there is no flag, no 70k members, and no stable club without this admin being able to be a unified group - and yes, unified enough to knife a bad egg trying to ruin a coach and deal with the consequences in court that you love to hang them with.

    Ollie fan won't be happy - you're on the wrong thread.

    Nathan Bassett let go from port. Was highly rated a couple years ago. Could he do mid job or at minimum could take over defence if Chappy moves into mid.

    He was actually alright. An 'in and under' player we lacked in that era. Had niggling injuries with us. We should have kept him.

    He didn't want to play for us...

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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.
