Prefer an experienced "younger" coach with a definite plan on how he wants the team to play and how to develop and implement.

Lots of good names being thrown around.

Experienced coaches like SImmo, Buckley, horse bring a different quality and known approach but the success of say McRae and Mitchell shows new ideas as we are not building from scratch but working to improve our existing list which has enough quality to make and compete in finals.

 

Absolutely no to a washed up, angry senior coach with a chip on their shoulder.

Absolutely yes to a new, fresh voice with experience working under a successful coach / at a successful club.

Personally I would like to see the role split :-

  1. Strategy, tactics, game plan etc, List Management

  2. Player relationships, Motivation, Media

Both on equal footing.

Interesting and radical. I suspect it would require an exceptional two people without supreme ego.

Another left field is Daisy Pearce

 

Do we go with an old head with previous success? or do we go with unproven assistant coach. such a difficult call

Either way, will be a breath of fresh air and there certainly a case a new coach could unlock the potential and re-energise the playing group. I am still of the belief we have a quality list there, just not been maximised

My choice, Steven King from Geelong

Received a message from a pal who supports another team, wrote "Maybe it’ll make you watchable now". I know we're trying to move on from the way we used to play but still interesting to see how others view our team.

One of them is a Premiership coach, who handed over the worst list in the world to Mini.

The other two are not Premiership coaches

Longmire won a flag!

Buckley - took over a young premiership list at the beginning of a potential dynasty and managed to miss finals what 3 times in a row?

The most stubborn coach of all time and couldn't deliver a flag

No thanks

Yep got a text from an Essendon mate (biatch please?!), to say it's about time.

Interesting how others view your club.

Caro's comment around mummerings of Simpson to be our new Head of Football are interesting. Does that mean a younger Senior Coach?

Buckley? Caroline Wilson has completely lost her touch.

I hope Enright.

Realistically, he’s two years away from being great. But then so is the squad.

Is doing a [censored] job with the back line atm

Tough gig considering the injuries and form.

I actually think we've done OK back there considering the game style and the above.

TMac, Disco, Salem, Bowey have all been good to very good.

Howes is definitely on the up.

McVee hasn't set the world on fire, but he may have an eye out the door.

Who is the best collaborator, and can bring in the best full panel of coaches? Even on a rough sketch we're looking at ten positions I would want to see filled with top quality people.

Senior.

Footy Dept Manager.

Veteran coaching mentor.

Development.

Conditioning.

Forward, back, clearance, transition.

Casey.

I really don't care for other clubs, their supporters or their supporters opinions.

Can't understand the desire for other clubs failed coaches.

I don’t like the veteran coaching mentor role.

It undermines the coach who needs to step up and do the job.


I guess it took the board 7 months to find a new CEO, who then couldn’t start for a further 4 months.

So maybe they think they will start the search for the new coach now and have them appointed by …

before round 1 2026 hopefully 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Troy Chaplin.

Bring back Roos and PJ to oversee FD recruitment process over the coming weeks and month's.

  • 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.
