    Brett Ratten anyone?

    Unceremoniously dumpled by Carlton and Saints before he had a chance to deliver on what he was building. Sat in for Clarkson when he took LOA.

    Currently Head of Coaching Performance & Development  at Hawthorn.

    Certainly worth considering.

    Would be an awesome midfield Coach as he was in 2004-05

    I'm definitely interested in Bruce. Came to the Lions as a midfield coach after they'd bungled their third finals series in a row, said in an interview when he joined his major focus would be their running patterns. That year they make a prelim from 6th, the following year the make the Grand Final, then last year they win the flag. This year they are top of the ladder, undefeated after 5 games.

    I remember watching the lions during 2023 thinking about how easily they seemd to be able to move the ball, always seemed to have players in space. Hope we interview him.

    I personally thought the Lions should have won in 2023 if not for some dubious umpiring decisions.

    Goodwin and Tim Lamb have completely butchered our list management.

    Fancy offering a cooked Viney a contract extension all because Norf bluffed us.

    Completely disheartened with this footy club.

    Agreed ever shouldn’t have given him another contract but what did North do?

    It’s irrelevant what North did, we should have held the line. He was contracted anyway.

    Exactly.

    Doesn’t bode well for the players intelligence if this is the stuff they are not doing.

    I just don’t know what they did and am curious.

    Lmao, this “5 minute” logic your are applying is akin to those who spew and attack certain journalists about having not played the game at the highest level, so their opinion is instantly invalid? Ironically, those types of fans haven’t played either.

    Just because you haven’t played the game at a high level does not mean you can’t form an opinion.

    Same logic applies here. I am confused.. is this a forum run by the global World Economic Forum elites, or is this is an open, public fan forum? 

    You were once a new user yourself, so in essence, you are also nothing in the grand scheme of things. 

    Honestly ..I haven’t bothered coming on to the forum for awhile ( I become more depressed) & when you read posts like yours I have to seriously wonder if you actually support the club ? Don’t use language which you may think is clever ., we support a club .. not going well at the moment .. it’s not that hard. Football is not a reality tv show .. it’s just a game. I hate that we “turn on our own”. Bottom line ..we are all disappointed in different ways.

    The "hot spot" is just basically the top of the goal square.

    I think we were all taught to kick there if you couldn't find a player on the lead. At least I was taught that playing footy.

    The top of the goal square or "hot spot" is almost always the best place to kick it, especially if you kick it in there quick.

    Football is a very simple game.

    I am impressed with John Longmire explaining it though. Would love to see him as the next coach of the Melbourne Football Club.

    Listening to Longmire he’s a nonsense yes his got baggage of 5 gf loses but the way he spoke on the front bar about the number 1 thing in a club is Trust! He’s strong culture building at the swans, I think he will be ready to coach in 26.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
