I’ve read enough of Demonland to be CERTAIN that this development means our dynasty window has re-opened.

We are about to win 10 straight.... get ready to party.

Thanks for the service fella


Curious how the forward line will go under a new line-coach, guess we'll find out one way or another where the issue is located


He came to the club at (one of) its lowest points and helped deliver a Premiership. 

Thanks Staff!

Happy trails Greg. While it may be time for change your contributions won't be forgotten.

Your words of encouragement from the sidelines as Max lined up that kick in Geelong with nuffies all around him might have more to do with that flag than we care to admit. 

 

Expect media to blame the culture.

But on a serious note Staff seems like a really top bloke.


Thanks for your service big man.

Will be interesting to see if this change freshens up the forward line in 2025!

From every one of the many mentions players give him, they're going to miss him.

Thanks for your time and efforts over the years.

A Premiership is no mean feat.     So yes thanks indeed  but  something needed to change,  no blame attributed anywhere, But something had to change and probably more than 1 needs to fall on their sword.  A fresh wind Typhoon even

Wish him well. Believe that will be at Richmond FC 


Thanks and best wishes. Part of our 2021 success.  Time was certainly up. 
 

Is this part true -  in his bio … “Greg played in the 2007 Asian Australian Football Championships for the China Reds”.

Loving that the word nuffies is being used here to describe opposition players or in general anyone who isn't Melbourne.

Best of luck Staff. Successful or not I am sure he tried his hardest. 11 years in one place in AFL football is an eternity

Has premiership assistant coach on his resume. Came to us when we were a basket case. Best wishes.

Any idea who we may poach for the forward coaching role?


No doubt there will be some spicy comments on this thread. 
 

Thanks for 11 years of service Greg.

That’s because he is. The boys all adore him and it’s no surprise they do because he’s a lovely guy.

I’m not gonna comment on his prowess as a forwards coach, but I will on him as a person.

Staffy will be sorely missed by all at the club, and he’ll be hard to replace since he was more than just a coach. He was a mate to the boys. He’s always encouraging them and he praises them which goes a long way, especially with the kids.

He’s a happy and friendly guy, always has time for a little chat, and personally I’ll miss seeing him around. Especially out on banner when the coaches come onto the field since he always said hello with a beaming smile which is very welcome before a match.

I understand it’s what’s best for the Club but geez he’ll be missed.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
