Trade radio just reported McQualter has been appointed. Congratulations. 

 

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?

Why do we still have Goodwin when a person of Quality Integrity and Dam good Bloke we cant KEEP VERY SAD But great for him


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.

Good on him. 

Not ideal for us unfortunately. 

 

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

bassatt comes in as one, presumably forward coach

midfield coach tbc


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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
