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.

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
