Longmire sure

Bruce or Enright or any number of other assistants with impressive showings in a thorough process sure

Hinkley no thanks

Simmo no thanks, was past it years ago

Hird hell no, should never work in the industry again, maybe we could get Dank, Lance Armstrong and the 90s Russian and Chinese swim teams in to help with Hirdy’s sports science program too!

Bucks I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. Would be the only time that I just don’t think I could do it, might have to take a break from footy. Also he’s very similar to Goodwin except that Goodwin is a good person and Bucks is not. You want cultural problems, have a look at what went on at the pies under Bucks and especially when Bucks was Malthouse’s assistant, yikes and yuk.

Luke Hodge

I heard his presentation will include great ideas such as telling Gawn to leave to another club.

 

I'll be barracking for Carlton so Voss survives and we can pick whoever we want

Enright has apparently been earmarked to succeed Ross Lyon. If we can pry him away St Kilda, I’d take him. I’d also replace Alan Richardson with James Hird (ducks for cover).

Not a bad call Ethan

They've managed to sack the coach, so having an interim everything hasn't been a barrier to a pretty bloody big decision.

You'd have to say Smith is clearly pulling the strings and thus will pull the next one with the incoming coach.

I don't think we should worry about the interim aspect of the President. Smith is on the board. Green is staying on as a football director. They're just changing the titles around. It's a Smith-Green ticket no matter which way they arrange it.

The new CEO has to start before they hire a new coach tho. And they have to clarify the rest of the footy department changes.

Sacking a coach is one thing, hiring the new guy without full club alignment is another.

1 Longmire

2 Skipworth

3 Enright

Dark horse, Cam Bruce!

Anyone saying James Hird needs their head checked.

Calm down, ya mini-pancake. I’d take him in an admin role, not coach.

How about as High Performance Manager Ethan ?

Is that Richardson’s current role? If so, yes. Whatever.It.Takes.

John Longmire is the top priority to ask.

But is he cooked?

Grand Final losses in 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024 means he panics when the pressure is it's highest.

Justin Leppitsch is also a dark horse who might throw his hat in the ring.

I guess it depends who WANTS to coach the Melbourne Demons?

Agreed and they will bring in their own people i hope.

You would think the club does a deep cleanse of the Footy Dept, Richo, Chocco i.e assistance coaches, medical dept i.e Selwyn, list manager i.e Lamby etc.

Fitness at the top of the tree along with ball movement, trading/attracting talent and coach with enough back bone that is strong enough to take back control of elite fitness programs.

Great ideas, whilst we're at it, we probably should change our club colors, our logo, relocate to another country and play a different sport!

Sorry, but you are kidding if you think everyone will get thrown out alongside the coach. Basically cos -> https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/12/04/why-the-man-who-conducted-melbourne-review-has-a-very-different-perception
That review has been done at the end of last season, the MFC isn't doing another one, and I'm pretty sure Darren Shand presented to the board at the same one Goody did.


Looks like Horse is our number one priority. I like this a lot.

I think we might need experienced senior replacement.

With the state of our President/CEO & board to throw a untried coach could be disastrous !!!

Experienced senior coaches are available because they were moved on.

The only experienced coach I’d be keen on

Would be great if he could bring in some high quality assistants who could potentially form a succession plan (but I’m getting ahead of myself here!)

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
