    Good for Mini, don't know if this good for us. We must have someone locked in for the role already.

    Despite the long road back to competitive football, watching Harley Reid up close, each week, will be fun

    Well, that was a short stay  at The MFC coach making  factory. Obviously a good football mind but , perhaps through the weight of circumstances, we didn’t get to see much of it or much of anything good anyway. 

    I don’t mind the thought of a clean break and a new face …. just hope we can land some quality.

    Wow really must have made a great impression. 

    So who's our new midfield coach then?

    Out of left field, what about Rory Sloane (originally from Vic) as his sister, Shae, is a coach in our AFLW program?

    Being an assistant coach at Melbourne seems to be the number one pathway to a senior coaching role now!

    Plus, former Demon assistants just won both the premiership and the spoon. We're a trophy-winner factory.

    Are there any backline coaches, who played back-pocket in their playing days, available?

    perhaps we could offer a role for the media geniuses that have so much knowledge of the club, Norris, Lloyd, Cornes, etc. These journos are able to tell what is wrong with the dees in forensic detail and would then make us an unbelievable powerhouse for ever.

    So mid coach and Forward. I know Bruce's name was mentioned elsewhere, be interested if he is on our radar.

    Well done to him. That's a fantastic achievement, and once again one of our own has been appointed a senior coach. Speaks volumes about our ability to develop assistant coaches and give them the rounded experience they need to become head coaches.

    I'm hoping Chaplin back to forward coach (ala 2017-2018, highest scoring team in the comp in '18) and Bassett to the backline.

    Then that leaves midfield and I hope strategy/ball movement, though I suspect our soft cap is at its limits and we won't have more than three major line coaches.

    Good ol Tom always ready to run with a negative MFC angle

    It opens up a role for someone else, who is looking to step into a senior position, as our midfield coach is generally the '2nd in charge' on gameday and runs the box. The last two men who had this role ended up in a senior coaching position shortly after. 

    There would be lots of great assistants who would love this same opportunity.

    I would like to see Cameron Bruce offered that role, but I am sure there are others.

    I'm all for bashing the journalists, but he isn't taking a pot shot at us, With McQualter moving to West Coast, and it's got nothing to do with our club, it's about opportunity..

    It will be a fascinating to see where we go to recruit for both vacant positions.

    • 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?
