    Chaplin coaching.

    We have had the Reverend … now the Chaplin !!!

    Given the career profile of caretaker coaches at the MFC he’d have to be a right Charlie.

    So… no change then

    Disappointing. If I knew I was coach for only 3 weeks I’d go absolutely wild.

    Kosi in the ruck. McVee to FF. Max Gawn on the wing.

    It’s maybe why they haven’t called me about the coaching job yet 😬

    Don’t call us, we will call you!

    Rest anyone under a cloud, but Club should have the attitude of treating the next three weeks like a finals series and try and go into next year with some momentum.

    I want the new coach to have some balls and not play Petty forward. I don’t want a Goody clone who gifts his favourites games.

    One thing you blokes can bet on is that there will be at least four prospective Ex Coaches watching this game with interest.

    It will be interesting to see who is in the stands running an eye over our cattle and how they are grazing.

    If I was calling the shots on the broadcast I would have a couple of extra cameras scanning the crowd for coaching faces taking notes.

    You heard Maxy on triple M yesterday. The players will be up for this game.

    and remember, they don't have Goody to shield them now. they don't have goody to take the blame

    if i was a player, I'd want to show the powers that be that I'm worth my place on the list. there are 3 weeks remaining to do so

    this will not be a blow out. I can't see us losing by more than 15 points. and i won't be surprised if we win.

    So much bull [censored] and negativity from supporters, living in Geelong I thought cats fans were quick to kick the boots in!!

    If anyone hasn't heard Max's triple M interview from the other day, have a listen - absolute class act. There's alot for this side to play for now even amid change. Players proving there worth for a new coach being at the dees or somewhere else. Any game day issues from the past can now be reset and no doubt there will now be players and potential coaches watching on with invested interest in Sundays game.

    I agree. Think.this could be a very interesting game. The Doggies will be set but we now have that "unknown " factor. It could go pear shaped but i don't think it will. Pups might have their work cut out. All expectations are on them.

    Go Dees

    Why the hell aren't they up for every single game

    overpaid and unaccountable

    Perhaps Goodwin covered this weakness in the team who perhaps chose when to be up or not

    Yawn, another underwhelming week at selection.

    To be honest, I'm surprised they haven't dropped Sharp and replaced him with Spargo or Tholstrup - swapping those guys around seems to be the extent of the selectors' creativity this year.

    Probably says a lot about assistants that are left from Goodwin era, group of same thinkers

    new coach, new coaching panel, new ideas, new era, hopefully !!!

    On MMM, Maxy said he told Goody on Monday that he (Max) should play on Darcy this weekend.

    Didn't Max play a first quarter on Geelong's Tom Hawkins at one time?? I recall it confused the Geelong offence.

    Chaplin got a free hit for the last 3 games,do we win them,who cares,i hoping he goes against the norm.either Max rucks the whole game or bring in another ruck,leave Roo playing forward.Bailey has 3 games to prove he is afl standard.Viney to be put on the injury list,Petracca to play forward.midfield rotations of Oliver,Pickett,Rivers Bowie,Bailey and McVee and Petty to play down back and bring in Adams,just a thought

    This is Chaplin's audition for any future coaching gig. Please don't be a Goody clone. Try something new and different and out of the box. I would love to put a dent in some of these final's fancies hopes.

    Yeah, you're spot on. Most were expecting 4-5 changes after a 14 goal win.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
