The Performances since the Bulldogs game proves we are a Top 8 Team.

The boys have responded to Daniher and if we didnt have injuries early Im convinced we would be further up the ladder.

So as far as im concerned I want Daniher to be in the top job.

I think Our recruiting hasn't been that bad, any club that can bring Davey, Brock, Sylvia, Petterd, Etc. to the club isn't doing a bad job. Maybe we just have to start recruiting some different type players.

What Im trying to say is I think all we need is a bit off a face lift rather than a Full Makeover. So Its maybe trade a couple and push on for 2008.

Can someone start a Poll, cause I dont know how to? Daniher for 2008 its yes for me, and its not because we just won.

 

Deano74... love the sentiment, have the utmost respect for Daniher, but let's wait and see how we go from here. If we win 8 or more games from here I would say yes. If we only win 2 or 3, I would say its time for a change!

He's been a wonderful coach, but he's only gotten us so far. 10 years of winning stuff all is enough time for any coach. I acknowledge his tremendous efforts, but it's time to move on.
 

No for me, cant seem to take us to the next level, and still makes terrible coaching decisions for me

What if we changed coach and made the wrong choice, that might put us back 3 years?

ND is 100% for this club, you can tell by watching him in the coaches box

Sure he has made mistakes and been slow sometimes in making changes, but I agree with Deano, the base is there for a strong second half of the season and a better one next year. If we win 8 /12 games from here on, who would not want him to continue. However if we only win another couple, we will have to repeat this poll at the end of the year
 

I personally think the "I want Daniher as coach" or "I want anyone but Daniher as coach" or "I want Person X as coach" attitude is extremely selfish.

All I ask for is that the board, AT THE END OF THE SEASON, sit down and do a full review of the FD and figure out what is the best way forward. I don't really mind what the outcome is, so long as I'm comfortable that the review was thorough and every possible avenue explored.

No person on the outer has enough facts to judge who would be the best coach for the coming seasons. That's why I think what we "want" is a moot point.

Fact:

- We can see the tactics that Daniher implements.

- We can see the players he chooses or doesn't choose to play.

- We can see the number of players he puts in the forward line.

- We can see the match ups he decides.


Fact: you don't know the reasoning or logic behind any of those decisions. You can only guess. You can also only guess as to what difference other players in the side might make.

It's not rocket surgery.

The decisions that Daniher makes seem to fail an awful lot and he does apparently know the "reasoning or logic" behind them.

It's funny that in three quarters of football (last quarter vs Kangaroos, second and third quarters against Adelaide) when Melbourne opt for a style of play that doesn't involve "tempo" or "runs and curry" and instead focuses on long kicks and fast movement into a forward line with forwards in it (it's crazy, I know) that Melbourne suddenly play well.

But Daniher does not employ these tactics more often.

If Daniher is coach next year, then I just hope that the Kangaroos win the flag because at least then he'll copy a game plan that suits Melbourne.

Who's to say Neale has tried to "copy" anyone? Before the season the coaching staff identified our weaknesses and tried to address them.

Look, you're entitled to your opinion of course, but I think you (and by you I mean many people, not just yourself Clint) are forming an opinion from your interpretation on about 1% of all the facts, the other 99% of which are unavailable to the general supporter. It's why I won't make a call on Daniher one way or the other, because I believe I don't know enough to fully understand the situation.

It's why I hope the board are thorough in their review at season's end. They have access to all the facts that I (we) don't.

It's why I won't make a call on Daniher one way or the other, because I believe I don't know enough to fully understand the situation.

We all (including you Nasher) make calls on players.

How is that any different?

I understand what you're saying, but when you go to the games and see how damn obvious the mistakes Daniher makes are, it's not hard to see where the heart of Melbourne's problems lie.

The calls we make on (our poor) players are just as subjective, and aren't necessarily well informed opinions either......

I agree with Nasher, that we don't have all the facts and our opinions on whether we want or don't want Daniher to coach next year are exactly that - our individual opinions. There are usually good reasons we have formed these opinions, but it doesn't make them automatically right or wrong.

As for whether I want to see Daniher re-signed for another year? I truly have no idea, because I can see and understand both sides of the argument that has been made here, there and everywhere. But I don't know the internal workings, just the external perceptions. FWIW my dad says no.

But at the end of the day it is worth remembering that one win can be a band aid, and doesn't change much, despite making us all feel better.

I think your the one being selfish, everyone has a right to express their feelings/thoughts on this as long as their not impinging on others by criticing them. Their saying how they personally feel without attacking you.

Why have a forum if all you'ld like to do is control people like your own puppets.

Fact: you don't know the reasoning or logic behind any of those decisions. You can only guess. You can also only guess as to what difference other players in the side might make.

Guessing doesn't cut the mustard I'm afraid.

How do you know this? Is there a little guessing on your part Nasher.

It isnt Daniher we need to get rid of. Its half the Football Department and some of the players. As talked about on triple M yesterday....accepting mediocrity has been our problem since 1964. We have to change and become tougher, harder and cannot accept mediocrity.

Daniher. with the right list, and the right people around him will be the key to our success. We have got the young talent coming through

Delist - Ward, Wheatley(sorry- even though he played awesome yesterday, he's got to go, too inconsistent...better giving a younger guy a game then wheatley), Holland, Ferguson, Godfrey

Trade- White if possible, Miller

Green was good yesterday, so too Brucey- we can't get rid of them because when we have everyone in..we have one of the best midfields in the comp- Bruce, Mclean, McDonald, Green, Johnstone, Jones, Moloney

Good to see Melbourne will be having a crack at getting Judd, and other big name players out of contract- we have to be much more pro-active during trade week.

Ignore my signature i will change it..we can't get rid of Daniher..because we need to replace him with someone better..and there won't be anyone better because how do we know Longmire or Harvey will make a difference.

DEES FOR 2008 and BEYOND!!!!!!

ND bleeds fr this club so bad! if u have watched his face reactions this year you woukd see why.

keep him for next year! he is our top man for the job

we all commend his dedication.. not a question. Its his suitability to a role to take MFC to a flag, it comes down to ability...on many fronts. The record is not good, thats just a reality. All coaches are faced with various situations and circumstances, some coerce the lads into getting the job done...others...well others lose; its as simple as that really.

no doubt.

ND has been brilliant in some aspect (promoting mfc in the media, preparation of the team, passion for the cause) and deserves respect and dignity from not only officials but also the fans.

However, i do think we are in the same position we were ten years ago. We are still being called soft and despite statements, we still have trouble putting teams away and we lose to teams we shouldn't.

Maybe ND is too much of a friend to his playas and ain't hard enuf?

Maybe he has 2 much faith his boys will come good?

Whatever the case mfc needs a coach who accepts no bull.

Like i said, ND deserves respect but he should get his gold watch.

He's been a wonderful coach, but he's only gotten us so far. 10 years of winning stuff all is enough time for any coach. I acknowledge his tremendous efforts, but it's time to move on.

I retract my previous comments. The talent pool in AFL is such a shallow one. It's not like we're talking British Premier League here, where there's all of Europe to chose from with an abundance of coaches with proven track records, or American Sports, where there's heaps of College coaches ready to make the big leagues.

ND is a quality coach. I personally don't think he can bring us a flag, but there are other variables that hinder us that are out of Danihers control.

It's not rocket surgery.

The decisions that Daniher makes seem to fail an awful lot and he does apparently know the "reasoning or logic" behind them.

Lol its rocket science or brain surgery honey.

ND FOR 2008!

I am with you. We would be shooting ourselves in the foot if we lost him. The crap we saw in the last quarter yesterday even he didnt like it. In his post mach interviews he spoke a lot about the supporters, he is always looking at the big picture for the club not just winning. Love ur work ND.

"I can say without a doubt this has been the best win of the season" Got a chuckle from me

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
