A fabulous pick up.  Personally think he managed the interum at the Tiges (on short notice) beautifully.

Hopefully he has some significant impact tweaking some of our systems/methods in 2024 for the better.

Welcome to the mighty Demons!

    Well, Richmond certainly knew how to maximise a potent forward-mid, and they also made a lot of good hay out of numerous small running types.

    Won't pretend I know a whole lot about the man himself, but I am very pleased that we settled this quickly and with a candidate that is clearly seen as top-shelf by the 'community of coaches'.

    Now, Leppitsch to replace Stafford and we are all set! :laugh:

    Seems like a nice bloke too if that helps

    Well it can’t hurt. It’s important for the players to get on well with him and that’s more likely to happen if he’s a nice person.

    Good appointment. He’s been a pillar in Richmond’s success. Hopefully he can bring some of that quick and unpredictable ball movement to our midfield and help get more out of our smalls.

    Of what seemed like a limited selection of experienced coaches, he seemed like the best available - and it is an endorsement of the club that he wanted to come to us.

    He is coming from a highly successful culture, but also fits the mould of more humble leaders that are increasingly coming into the game, which Goody represents. I think he will also be excited to come to a fresh environment.

    Good start to the post-season.

    Can we drop the Mini nickname and come up with something else? 

    Seems demeaning.

    I think it's here to stay ... 

    As for the nickname, McQualter says it goes back long before he was drafted by the Saints. "I've had the nickname since I was grade three," he revealed. "I was tiny when I was younger and I had an older brother. His friends called me a mini version of him.

    Thanks, Stone. You were clearly reading my mind.

    New players and coaches always look infinitely better with a red and blue kit on!

    Anyone looks good in a red and blue kit 👌

    Mini, the hootchie-coocher, as our new coach, should perhaps warrant 'Cooch'?

    Happy with this hopefully Dew replaces Stafford.

    ...though his current n/n does sit well with the notion, on that other current thread, of a 'mini reset'.

    No idea if he can coach, didn’t do much to inspire with his opportunity. Chucked the veterans on ball to help win a few games.

    But the Hardwick endorsement holds some weight. 

    And the Richmond fast ball movement is something we badly need a good dose.

    The biggest McQuestion is what line does he take care of? Midfield would be favourite but forwards or backs shouldn’t be ruled out.

    Yeah he should of atleast took Richmond to an other flag

    Isn't that an even better reason to shed the Nick name?

    Is he now going to be a Mini Goodie?

    I think this works out well for all parties.

    Yze gets the big gig, we get fresh eyes from a guy who’s been in the top job last season and whose been there during Richmond’s success. And he was their midfield coach so hopefully he can help our mids actually deliver it inside 50 properly.

    Welcome!!

    Welcome news. He has certainly had the experience.

    Fantastic. I was hoping this happened. In all his interviews on 360 I was thoroughly impressed with his reasoning and ability to see the game. IMO he compliments Goodwin. Great fit. 

    Sucking up to the boss already. No wonder he got the job.

    Hopefully he will also complement Goodwin, too.

    As you show, he was called that in school. He was the year above me.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
