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.

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

    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.

    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!)

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
