I am angry and upset and shocked at the disgraceful...

Almost too angry for words.

What tonight has shown is that the expression of support for the coach by the senior players means nothing. The test of all coaches, no matter what sport, is results. An 11 goal half time deficit against a team that is one draw and 10 losses from 11 games is atrocious. The performance tonight appears as if the players were unaware of the concept of tactics let alone had the chance to have these drilled into them for two weeks.

The obvious options failed and there was no plan B.

I like Neale Daniher but he is clearly not a coach to take Melbourne forward. The only question is who is? Interested to hear thoughts.

Lyon or Schwartz for me. Neither tried but we cant go any lower. Who else is there? Id rather a demon untried other than another ex player untried.

Surely you jest?

They don't have a credential between them, I love the Ox but if his commentary is anything to go by... jesus, would you actually want him speaking to even your kids footy team?

How about these Gems from the Ox... " Essendon need to get in front to be a chance of winning tonight ", When the scoreline was 94 - 48 - " Melbourne are 38 points behind ", " Gee he really telecasted that kick " Telecasted????? Thanks but no Thanks.

id try and get ratten from carlton

ND coached terribly tonight. Robbo was slaughted all day so why not bring him up the ground? Why is Richmond allowd space? Why did it take a quarter for melb to man up Polak? Why was holland playing on richo...he is too slow? Why is davey going cold in the midfield when the ball is hitting the ground and spilling out in the forward line? Why did it take a quarter for pettard to come on? Why did all the matchups in the first half stink and i could do a better job? Why do we keep playing P.Johnson in the forward line when hes too slow and the coach knew of richmonds backline run?Why why why

Godfrey deserves to be congratulated. Kicking lets him down but he spoiled a lot of easy richmond marks and made a contest. Likewise with Bate in the 2nd half. Every other player stunk...especially Brock, Bruce, Green and McDonnald.

Congrats to holland...made up some of his mistakes in the back half.

Disgraceful and I too left at half time. Waste of money and if this is how the club wants to improve is supporter base...well put blainantly...there fu****

but bad kicking is worse than spoiling some marks and his kicking was atrocious tonight

hey sleeve, good to see you again even if it's not in the old chat room.

heard these ones just tonight:

"(Nathan Brown) is back to his agility best!"

"Tackles are 18 a piece, but Richmond have 40 more disposals... don't know what that tells you..."

i think one of the fantastic four was playing for the toigs...cos i am sure Polak was invisible for about a half....then he reappeared again and daners actually put a man on him.....

as for next coach.....please Michael Voss....rattan is teh blues next coach..that leaves the Vosster

Heard a rumour a while back that Chris Connelly may be in the mix. He is a former player, and is on shaky ground at Freo.

thats great...from one hack to another

GOD NO!

this guy couldnt even coach our school football side, we had to tell the players where to play and after the second game he gave up and went back to the school.

the guy is a terrible coach, look at freo, they are undisciplined, weak minded and if they didnt have the home ground advantage would never make the 8.

What about Todd Viney

Sure wasn't invisible to me...

What about Denis Pagan? Seems like Carlton want to get rid of him... Don't know if this is the answer but if Carlton shove him, he is a proven coach

what about connolly's mate harvey, or mcenna or the assistant coach at the bullies is meant to be alright, was apparently very close to getting a gig with i don't remember who now, is there anyone out there? martin pike!

Mark (Zebra) Williams has a winning history and a winning culture, and plenty of experience.

May of course not be interested, but ???????????????????????????????????

Will be interesting in view of some of the comments re ND and the Bummers just how HE performs next Friday night. I imagine he wouldn't want to look too stupid in front of prospective employers.

Lyon or Schwartz for me.

Schwartz :lol: :lol: ......Golly Gosh get a clue.

Harvey, Voss or Pagan - top 3 for individual different reasons at the moments

Haha Kit Walker, jsut heard your post read out on SEN!

On topic, I'd really like to see Guy McKenna or Longmire at the club next year...

I'm a multimedia superstar!

Would actually love to get Pagan as a coach but I don't think it's possible so would prefer Harvey. Notwithstanding the hype about Voss, Harvey has done everything you could hope for
