    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
