Voss as coach...no way. He has no experience in coaching and instead needs some time as assistant. Bring him in as assistant coach or manageing our midfield for a year or 2. Then we will see. I would prefer danners to voss as coach

I agree, but then the alternatives to Voss aren't many... When everything settles and MFC has looked at all options there may not BE a better option than Voss...

yeah tru and voss may not want to be assistant. he may just think that he deserves to be head coach when he moves in. I would personally be looking at either Sheedy or someone who is not all that well known. Like what clarkson was. I think voss will struggle to get a head possition anywhere next year. Great employees dont always make great managers and we dont know how good voss would be. I really think that melbourne should be looking for a premiership in the next 2 years. I think we have the team to make us top 4 but probebly not 1 or 2. We really do need a new coach tho and i think there are certain players that would flurrish under one. I think there needs to be a change of coach however as i think players are not giving it their all under ND. Dont get me wrong, danners has been great for melbourne but i think the deal he made 3-4 years ago to keep coaching was a mistake. Easier to say that now tho i guess.

The last thing the MFC can afford to do is appoint someone with no experience. Neale Daniher has helped take this side to the finals in five of the past seven seasons, after all of that are we going to just throw away his expertise and experience for someone untried and unproven?

Remember, Tim Watson was once a very good player and look how well he turned out as coach with no experience. :rolleyes:

Sign him up to coach now, I say. He would bring the Brisbane and Matthews mentality and I couldn't thing of a better example of a tough and fair player and leader that some of the young players (McLean, Bate, Dunn, Petterd and Jones) could look up to.

can we afford to go with someone with no experience....

aren't we currently in our window - our list has been built up to the stage where we are a top 4 team and a challenger....

i am very undecided re the coaching position because of the above...

the issue that i do have is our skill level?? we still turn the ball over too many times and they cost us goals....

BIG RED SIGNING:

I am amazed that people see a guy who has captained a 3 time premiership side (which includes being on match committee) and spent extended injury periods sitting in the coaches box with Leigh Matthews as less experience than someone who has an official title as an "assistant coach" and is responsible potentially for nothing more than laying out witches hats and moving names on a magnetic board (note partial tongue in cheek). Saying there is a gulf between Voss and Longmire for example in experience is relatively small if existent at all.

He certainly wouldn't be the craziest choice for coach in the world.......

And he may just have the combination of youth, enthusiasm and, at least some experience, that we need.

No-one wants another Watson-esque situation, but honestly Voss does have plenty working in his favour :) .

sign him up i say, wlak up to him today and ask him to make a presentation then sign him up as soon as he can be

I have heard him a number of times on Sports today and he knows his stuff. He has recent GF experience, Leader of men, spent time under mathews in the box, wants to be an advocate for the young kids. I would take him on no worries. Perhaps there may be others but he is the one WE need.

I'm pretty sure the club will go after him for an assistant coaching position.

I wouldn't be opposed to having him as an assistant coach under Daniher for a couple of years, then give him the senior coaching title.

I'd rather a completely new coaching panel, but if the club and Daniher decide to stay, I hope that new assistants are introduced.

Not a stupid idea Jaded.

Would a caretaker/mentor role for Daniher work, with a clear understanding that Daniher gets a 1 year only extension, with Voss to take over in 2009?

It would be a probelm for ND that other roles may dry up after 2007 though.

Daniher wouldn't take an offer like that in a month of Sundays and rightly so.

Agreed, which is why, if they decide the keep him and he decided to stay, it will have to be as our senior coach and he will need to have the same power that he does now. Anything else would be an insult.

I wouldn't mind if Voss was his assistant, giving us the option of him one day becoming our senior coach, that is all.

Now with Eddie resigning from CEO, one G Lyon will lose some of his coverage, lets have two head coaches Lyon and Voss and get a past coach to be part time mentoring type role. Super star legend Ronald Dale comes to mind.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
