    With Greg Stafford now departing the Demons, who should we look for?

    I definitely think we need a massive shake up of ALL our assistant coaches.

    Who is currently available or would we endeavour to try to recruit to the Melbourne Football Club?

    Here's a list of a few names that we should look at considering to get to the Demons.

    1) Justin Leppitsch - has done some amazing work at both Richmond and Collingwood after his failed stint as Brisbane senior coach

    2) Cameron Bruce - the former Demon has been assistant coach at Hawthorn and now Brisbane with quite a bit of success

    3) Daniel Giansiracusa - has a impressive assistant coaching record at both the Bulldogs and the Bombers and might be looking for a fresh start

    4) Steve Johnson - the former Cat was a very crafty forward and has done assistant coaching before.

    5) Dylan Grimes - has recently retired from the Tigers and may be interested in being an assistant coach

    6) Adam Simpson - the former Eagles Premiership coach might be interested in returning to Victoria and doing assistant coaching

    7) Tom Hawkins - is about to retire after Geelong's finals campaign and may be interested in a new challenge at a new club

    8) Nathan Buckley - is probably happy in the media, but it's always worth at least asking the question if he was interested in becoming an assistant coach again

    9) Trent Cotchin - the champion Richmond Captain seems to be mainly doing media work, but it's always worthwhile at least inquiring if he wants to do assistant coaching

    10) Brendon Bolton - is highly underrated due to being an unsuccessful coach at Carlton, has done great work at both Hawthorn and now at Collingwood behind the scenes

     

    Anyway, these are all merely suggestions. But I am curious to hear what other Demons supporters think we should look at targeting to bolster our coaching group to assist Simon Goodwin once the off-season starts after AFL finals.

    The primary focus should be to select high quality football people that will make the Demons a better team for next year.

    I would also consider.

    Surely Wayne Carey would be a shoe in as a cultural mentor at any club - or Stringer? 🤗🙄

    I am a little worried that we are having trouble finding assistant coaches for our side. Slone said no. No word on Bassett, Teague or Bartel. Nathan Jones has apparently been approached. Does anybody know maybe if their are any sources here that know if a deal has been done or who we plan to get on board? Should be interesting to find out!

    Confirming Teague’s a no according to one of the journos, think it was Tom Morris.

    Christ, are we gonna go into pre season with no assistant coach?

    Well either an announcement is right around the corner for us and we have found some people just like st Kilda or we are peoples last choice for where they wanna be and we are having serious troubles and behind badly compared to other clubs who are having an easier time

    Re Sloane didn't we approach him as a specialist coach rather than as a senior assistant / line coach? I'm presuming we would be looking at Jones in this capacity rather than as a senior assistant.

    I see that ex-Bulldogs captain Robert Murphy has left Fremantle and is talking to a couple of Melbourne clubs. I wonder if he could be an option for the Dees?

    Can you let us know why you would be so against this? He was one of my favourite non-Dees players and seems to have a good footy brain but maybe you know something I don't?

    Was in a lift with Bob Murphy once. He looked me right in the eyes and farted. True story.

    What a coincidence.

    I once saw him fart in a lift, press the button for every floor then get out before the doors closed.

    It was wrong on so many different levels.

    No need to panic. Pre-season still weeks away.

    he was head of football at Freo… doubt he would be looking at assistant coaching gigs

    Regarding Bob Murphy . . . hope he never coaches our midfield. A fart in the quarter time huddle is as risky as a Jack Viney handball in the backline. It could lead to a messy turnover.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
