Wish him well should he go. Don't think he has displayed anywhere near the same level of tactical nous as Yze and we have been poorer for it. 

The stoppage set ups were not good enough at times, but Yze never had to deal with a midfield minus Trac and Clarry, only minus Clarry. And to be fair, he did an excellent job with the midfield minus Clarry.

    Minus Clarry but plus Gus. 
    Gus stepping in was the main reason we didn’t miss a beat with Clarry out.

    I am just amazed at the lack of people understanding football, people blaming McQualter for the midfield problems that has been a problem for three years, so he can only coach to the gameplan that was in trouble three years ago, one paced midfield, lack of kicking skills lack of players who are so robotic they lack football awareness no forward line but gee that's his problem, people seem to forget he was there during the tigers reign, how about people look at the root cause before you try and blame one man.

    Players make coaches not the other round.

    We also lost players that could play the usual Melb (win clearance) way

    DD - just wondering if you have clearance data from when we were at our best.  

    Other than 'bang, bang, bang' I was of the impression that we tended to lose  clearance numbers even when MG11 was dominating hitouts.

    The way many discuss why do we even have coaches.... they seem ineffectual or unaccountable.

    Although I dont think McQualter will get the WCE gig, who should we get to replace him as mid coach if he does knowing we also need a fwd coach and ruck coach.

    Leading WC coaching candidate Steven King collapsed at Cats training this morning. Hope he’s alright. Interestingly WC put out the following statement.

    “The West Coast Eagles are aware of a medical episode involving Geelong assistant coach and Senior Coach candidate Steven King at the Cats’ training session this morning.
    Our thoughts are with Steven, his family and the Geelong Football Club. Steven's health is the priority, and we wish him a speedy recovery.”

    Being sympathetic is the least the Eagles could do given they dragged him across the country in prelim week.

    The drive down to the Cattery was probably more taxing than a flight to Perth.

    Very sad to hear that about King.
    Sniff sniff. Hope he’s ok.

    SEN saying we are getting Nathan Bassett, so there’s movement in our coaching ranks for sure

    Couldn't be less interested in this.

    If he's the man, then good on him. 

    If not, then good on him.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
