    Reposting this as it's relevant again.

    Here are the forward coaches at every club. Spot the "actual" forwards.

    Adelaide - Scott Burns
    Brisbane - Murray Davis
    Carlton - Jordan Russell
    Collingwood - Justin Leppitsch
    Essendon - Dale Tapping
    Fremantle - Jaymie Graham
    Geelong - James Rahilly
    Gold Coast - Brad Miller
    GWS - Jeremy Laidler
    Hawthorn - Adrian Hickmott
    North Melbourne - Xavier Clarke
    Port Adelaide - Chad Cornes
    Richmond - Kane Lambert
    St Kilda - Robert Harvey
    Sydney - Jarrad McVeigh
    West Coast - Matthew Knights
    Western Bulldogs - Matt Spangher 

    Greg Stafford did have some forward line ability. He did kick 141 goals in 205 games.

    He's 716th most goals in the history of the game. It's a nonsense argument that he can't be a good forwards coach.

    It's highly unlikely whoever we get to replace him would've kicked more goals and there's not going to be anyone who has played as a tall forward, a medium forward, a small goal kicker and a high half forward flanker. Playing experience is largely irrelevant.

    TOM HAWKINS would be a great start!

    I’d prefer they lure Brad Green across from wherever he is currently employed (Pies?).

    It's impossible to measure the impact of assistant coaches. But I feel that Goodwin needs some fresh ideas around him.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it was a club decision to part with Stafford, but gave him a dignified exit by saying it was his decision to leave.

    i wonder who else we could get in.. all for getting ex-demons back into the fold. so long as they are keen to be progressive and have gained experience from other clubs in the AFL system.

    Thanks for all your efforts over the years Staf, through the good times and the bad you left an almighty imprint on the club and culture.

    To be a fly around that camp fire at your joint at the start of 21 would have been an unreal experience, creating long lasting bonds that would cement our 13th🏆 premiership.

    Safe travels to your next destination.

    Thankyou for your comments, as a supporter, I hate seeing all these other negative comments in this thread. Heck the man gave exceptional service at a time when it was needed back in 2014

    Huh? Brad Green is the managing director of a fire safety company and is on the MFC board.

    Yeah I'm with you.

    Personal opinions can be kept aside for a minute, the guy obviously gave us great effort and had very good rapport with the guys.

    Ok, I got it wrong (I obviously haven’t done my research)… glad you get a kick out of ridiculing me for it. Give yourself a pat on the back.

    I'm sad that we won't have his ruck knowledge anymore, but as a forward line coach he was a total failure.  Hopefully now we'll get someone who understands leading patterns and creating space for each other.

    as a forward coach he cobbled together a premiership forward 6 from the backline and the scrap heap

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
