Seriously though. Great appointment and welcome to Demonland.

It’s a perfect welcome to Demonland if you ask me

When Yze walked in the door at the end of 2020, Clarry had just toured the Blues. Yze got the mids on side and sold them on what was needed. Maybe McQualter will have the same impact this year?

 

His connection with Mark Williams can surely  be a positive for the midfield and their delivery forward.

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!!

It might be good news but Goodwin has to listen to what they say.

It was reported here that Yze was heard at a function saying he wanted to attack through the corridor more and was held back by Goodwin.

jnrmac I am sure the FD wouldn’t have gone after McQualter if they (not just Goody) weren’t prepared to utilise his broad experience’s and the Yze overheard conversation is just more anti Goodwin hearsay.😁

He apparently said it publicly at a function.

But just look at the way we played. It's like there was Ebola in the centre corridor at times.

Im sure he has quietly checking if the contract has a cooling off period clause

From today's Shun, we apparently have AMcQ 'in the mix', 'weighing up' him against T. Chaplin.

Unsurprisingly poor...

Do they mean as ‘senior assistant’?

Someone has to run the box. It’s either McQ or Chaplin.

No, definitely as I implied. Includes e.g. 'likely to sign this week' and headline is 'McQualter in Dees coach mix'.

This is wonderful news to have someone of this high quality come to the Melbourne Football Club!

Pretty much a straight swap for Adem Yze.

Welcome to the Demons Andrew McQualter! 🙂

Ha ha ha welcome to the nut house Andrew. 

Bet u didn’t think u would be walking into this [censored] storm.

Pretty sure that was Harmes who said Yze wanted to play through the middle more but Goodwin didn’t allow it.


Apologies as I missed the memo had there been one ...   

But do we( anyone) know, as opposed summise, what his role is to be. 

Might come out tonight perhaps.

Like many...curious.  We certainly need to changes things up.

I think he is meant to take over from Yze, which was roughly match day leadership.

To help us win Flags, at least the next 2.

Are we pretty much implementing McQualter's game plan next season?

Well I doubt it will be Yze’s

I expect -and hope - it will be Goodwin's. He is the senior coach. I expect him to listen to advice but then make the decisions. If it were any other way, the tail would be wagging the dog.

So did Hames’ most memorable ever kick, across the corridor I guess, breach team rules?  🤗

 

McQualter recruited as an experienced assistant coach known for a dynamic, unpredictable attacking set up which makes the most of medium-sized players.

McAdam, Billings, Windsor and Tholstrup added to the list.

The 'less talk, show me the change' part of me is pleased.

 

 

Goodwin, was voted down at selection committee to  not include Sache.

Out of spite we went into a final one man down.

Massive coaching problems still need to be healed.

Not happening any time soon.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
