people quickly forget that he was lucky enough to have been coached at senior level by 8 different coachesย ๐Ÿ˜Š

On the assumption that Tom Morris never quite gets anything right...

I'm going to suspect that Jones is coming in as a specialist stoppage coach and there will be a general midfield coach as well, tasked with overall ball movement between the arcs.

We've surely got quite a bit of soft cap space at the moment, and would have to be seen as a desirable place to take a coaching career when you consider that we've had assistants take up senior coaching positions for two years in a row.


Quality, quality, quality! Legend, legend, legend! True (red &) Blue. Let the negative clan be drowned out! So important to have blokes with good character attached to the Club in an official capacity. Jonesy has the tenacity to make it work, whatever the role!

A rubbish co-captain with no balls. Ordinary player in a weak team. Nothing to offer. Are trying to get number one draft pick next year? Goody must be laughing as Jones is no threat to his job. Such a very underwhelming situation we are in.

That's literally one of the worst takes I've ever read. We'd hardly have a club left if it wasn't for Jones.

You try playing Afl with a brokenย  neck... the guy deserves respect a MFC legend foreverย

Looking after the midfield? really.

what qualifications does he have for this role. He's been in the commentary box since retiring rather than coaching. not sure about this. He's a club legend so no issues getting him back involved just think midfield coaching role is too important for a novice.

He has played midfield at the top level for 15 years and has seen more coaches than most players, so he is a perfect optionย

Do we actually have any facts available about the appointment to make a considered determination on the nature of the appointment? Asking for my friend.

Tom Morris reconfirming that he is a total tool, backhanded slap in the face for Melbourne, the club need to call him out.

Iโ€™ll qualify by saying:

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย  the MFC have yet to confirm what role he will have with us

ยทย ย ย ย ย ย  Jonesy is a legend of the club. I have nothing but the utmost respect for his playing career and legacy with us.

Our last midfield coach held the role with a 3-time premier in the tiges before joining us. has left to take on the head coach role with the eagles

His immediate predecessor was on the coaching team of the 3 peat hawks before being part of our flag

Jonesy may take on the midfield coaching role with us after coaching a school team this year and may or may not have his AFL coaching badges.

Iโ€™m just questioning his qualification for the role. If he proves successful, I will happily eat my words. I'll be delighted. I have no issue with him rejoining the club in some capacity, Iโ€™m just not sure it should be as midfield coach.

I'm sorry, what's the backhanded slap?ย

That's not cool, is your nickname gobles.

If this helps Goodwin solve our obvious โ€˜cultureโ€™ (standards and professionalism) issues within the group then that is great.ย 

And it will be great to see him back at the club and that he is keen to coach.

My read was that McQualter was in charge of ball movement and game style so who is running that is my main concern - we have to continue to move the ball positively and quickly.

I'd be more down for this.

300 games played under several mid field coaches and he is a novice?

Every assistant coach starts somewhere and there is no rule they canโ€™t successfully coach in their first stint.

Itโ€™s a toss up between Helter Skelter and Ken Kesey. But suspect Kesey would rather eat his hat.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
