Great record as assistant coach. Should we be looking at getting him to the club as either an assistant to Goody or as head coach? 

 

Imo it’s becoming clear that we need a refresh of assistant coaches. We just look soooo stale and fumbly and out of synch. We all love choco but tbh our  kicking around the ground and for goal has never been worse. fwd coach ? midfield coach? Goody is a keeper for mine. 

 

Is he out of contract or something?

Hard to see him leaving for anything other than a lead role.


Definitely need a change in the coaching group. The fact the players were locked out of the meeting room at half time for quite a while says that they are either not on the same page or out of ideas. Wasn’t quite the Don Pyle stare but it was strange to see. Nothing personally against Stafford but we need a specialist forward coach. Happy for to work with the rucks and as a stoppage coach because that is his area of expertise. 
In fact right now I personally wouldn’t mind changing up the lines, Stafford into mids and McQualter with the forwards. Currently it is not working. 
 Would love Leppitsch at the club, he was good at Richmond as well but I cant see him leaving Collingwood for us unless offered head coach.

Didn't Leppitsch get rinsed at Brisbane because of his lack of understanding of the modern day player? He was still in players face screaming? 

Hope he has grown...

Pass-Agg is the new black.

I'd prefer a passionate rant at the right time.


Why would he leave the pies? Only reason I can think of is for a head coach job.

I wouldn't be opposed to bringing Pyke in just to wheel him out from time to time to stare at the players for 7 minutes during quarter time huddle. Sometimes the fewer words said the better.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
