Jimmy Bartel reported as leaving the GWS Giants at the end of this year

Personally I would love the Dees to reach out to him to offer him a role in our footy department - he’s done a great job at GWS and has such a great understanding of the modern game

Could be one to look at given some of the calls to refresh our coaching staff this offseason…

    Footy Director at GWS from 2018-24. Hmm... on the scale of 'squandered dynasties' that sits just above the collapse of the Mongol Khanate.

    Why?. Great player but no coaching experience. Maybe could learn on the job. Back office advisory maybe.

    We need a seriously top shelf forward coach. And maybe strategic in the mould of Yze

    A good cultural fit

    Reckon Shannon Byrnes will put in a good word?

    One of my fav non-Melbourne players and a good footy brain. Would love him at the club in a footy director type role. He doesn't have coaching experience, but if he has aspirations there then strategy would be a nice fit.

    Always found it odd that a Geelong man through and through was on the GWS board.

    Yes. Replace Alan Richardson. Fresh ideas

    Disagree entirely. I think he’s one of the few in the commentariat who has any clue whatsoever

    our next forwards coach?

    Midfield? I think he’s more focused on back office roles. Board room to FD is bit of a backwards step I think.

    I watched him on footy classified he explained in detail how the cats would dismantle our game plan, we beat them and broke their 7 game winning streak. He was a great player but we need a forward coach with proven experience and as previously mentioned an excellent game day strategist ala Adem Yze.

    Ooze might be available again soon the way the Toiges are going. Their feral fans won’t be happy

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
