I appoligise if this has been mentioned but i breefly looked and couldnt find any posts on this. I just want to know if anyone knows if our defence coach has changed at all? Although we have lost a number of games, i feel that the defence has been the best part of the ground...especially in the last 2 weeks. Is this thanks to the:

a) Defence coach

B) The improvement of players like Bell and Carroll while adding defenders who have been bagged in the past doing a superbe job like Biz, Wheatley (special mention), pettard and Ward?

c) The flooding or adding one player back like Green for a few games especially in the saints, adelaide and collingwood games?

    Yes, the defensive coach has changed from last year!!

    Essentially ND, or someone else, decided that it would be a good move, to not only change our game style but also switch our defensive and offensive coaches :wacko: .

    I wouldn't surprise me if they all got together a couple of weeks ago and realised their collective careers were on the line and decided, like our game style, to change things back.

    The changes are all described on page 63 of your 2007 season guide.

    I found that pretty bizarre at the time.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
