Wow, comedy central, it will be Jones, Brayshaw finds it too mentally challenging to be involved with the club.

I tried Nev, still has a year to go at the Pies, intend trying again next year.

    Can't wait to hear what Nathan Carrol has been up to

    God i miss Nathan Carrol 

    I assume this is Nathan Jones? that leaves us with one more vacancy doesn't it? assuming no significant re-structuring as a result of the reviews i'd guess that would be Bassett?

    The gossip I heard was the midfield role would now be split, compared to what it has been - So Jones would be midfield coach possibly, but we'd bring in another person solely for strategy. Then we would also need a forwards coach I'm guessing, so I think we'd likely need 2 more after Jones. I believe the thinking was the coaching department needed more of a spread like that - It could explain partly why we've gone for Jones in terms of how much you'd expect him to cost given his experience in relation to the soft cap. This isn't from the club directly though so take it with a grain of salt.

    The game day strategy coach role isn't new in terms of the MFC, that's effectively what Yze and McQualter have done, but they've also taken on the mids and perhaps they feel that's too big a role for one person? that would seem to make sense. My concern is when you're looking at bringing in 2-3 people into the FD we're a little bit late and a lot of the highly credentialed assistants have proabably already worked out what they're doing

    Surely Nathan Jones won't be a midfield coach. He'll be a development coach or cultural ambassador or some such thing.

    Do you hold an official role within the club now?

    I have it on excellent authority that the club will soon announce the return of a recently-retired favourite son in a coaching / off-field capacity.

    No, still communicate with Nev occasionally, tried but failed to convince him though.

    And the comment about Gus is what a couple of Club people have told me.....unless of course he would use it to help.....his speech at the B&F was raw

    Convince him of what? 

    I'm confused what you are talking to Nev about.

    Talking to Nev about coming back to Melbourne in  some capacity no doubt coaching. That’s what the topic/ conversation is all about.

    I must have missed the news of the club offering Nev a job.

    Interesting.

    Welcome back David Mc Glashan, who Jack Dyer once said was a General forward talent!!

    He’d be very handy as a goal kicking coach. Was a magnificent kick….

    As much as I love Jonesy I would have thought Daisy Peirce would be a great asset in the coaches box.

    Depends on the role that the club has in mind for Nathan, maybe Daisy more for strategy/ game plan but isn’t she contracted to Weagles?

    Smart to give Jones a part time role.

    Money well spent to stop him slagging of the club in the commentary box.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
