NEALE Daniher's days at Melbourne are numbered, with club and coach now expected to part company by mutual consent by the start of August.

The Age believes a last-minute intervention by Daniher on Monday night prevented the club from releasing details of an exhaustive review into Daniher's performance and his future. It is believed the club changed the criteria of that review with respect to its coach of almost 10 years, who in effect was being asked to reapply for his own job.

Instead, club chief executive Steve Harris will head a subcommittee to look at Melbourne's football department resources, player list management, player development and coaching structure in a bid to appease Daniher, whose future at the club was virtually decided late Friday night with his team's capitulation to Richmond.

The review will be completed on July 31. Under the terms of Daniher's contract, that date is also the deadline for the coach in terms of his exclusive relationship with the Demons. From August 1, he is allowed to hold talks with other football clubs.

[...]While Daniher had been keen to continue with the Demons — he took the club to a grand final in 2000 and the club has made the finals for the past three years — he is now resigned to the fact that it could be best for both parties to part.

Wouldn't expect much out of the press conference, just the usual "na I don't feel any pressure", "I'll let the review take its course and we'll go from there" and "na i wasn't disappointed in Paul's comments, he's got a job to do and he's doing it"

yeah you're probably on it there, but im still interested to hear what he has to say. Hopefully the journos will go in hard on the issue and really push him for answers.

if he is gone by august.... do we get a temp coach ..... assitant promoted etc?

do we get a new coach? with a contract?

i think we are best to wait end season, more people will put their hand up to coach and less chance of gettin a dud

im not sure what the go is, i would have thought, if he goes at start of aug, Paul Williams will step in. I agree though, doens't seem like there's much sense in terminating his contract 5 weeks out from season end.

No problem. Your earlier statement seemed definite on Williams.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?
