Congratulations Andrew McQualter a good pickup for WCE, unfortunately I dislike them immensely and cannot wish you the success that you will seek. But we’ll done on winning the No.1 Job.

Even after a disastrous year, we still were ranked 4th in Score Source Differential from Centre Bounces and 3rd from Stoppages. Not bad for a second string midfield with no skill and one paced.

Keep thinking that gameplan will work, and if you think our midfield has pace and skill then you remind me of the coyote in roadrunner keeps trying bit never gets it.....

 

Well done to Andrew and all the best, these jobs don't come around often.

That's how MFC ended up with Goodwin

Is it a coincidence that you didn’t mention Power much more successful than Hawks over the last 7-8 years dfa?

No it was deliberate - and it could be unfair.  But I don't really rate Port because they have been flat track bullies and capitulated in big games more than most.  I'm not saying they / they're coaches wouldn't have anything to offer us (I don't mind watching them as a neutral).  But I don't think they have a great system - I think it is more based around some very good stars. Admittedly they beat the hawks but the hawks are younger, played an exciting brand which took them a long way while missing crucial chess pieces (eg defenders that will join in the offseason, Mitch Lewis and maybe another midfield star).

If it wasn't about the list of players we have, I'd love us to play more of a run and gun style that is still defensively sound which many of the better teams are doing / starting to do.

Glad we’re adding Bassett — if we can nab Sloane I think that’ll prove to be two excellent additions. Tis also great to see we got ahead of this one and knew it was coming instead of being caught out! Really like Sloane culturally and think he can add energy and who know what Bassett has tactically but has some big fans in the industry!!!

Saw a headline “king to get Eagles job” - Damien Barrett with the scoop.  Nekminit - it’s Mini!  These media floggies dont get held to account for any of the fecal matter they drop.

Wow really must have made a great impression. 

So who's our new midfield coach then?

Yeah well, he was in charge of our misfiring midfield this year, can we get someone that knows how to postion, and create separation, and win clearances?

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
