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

    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

    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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
