    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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
