    If we get one of the washed up duds from Fox (Bucks, Horse or Simmo) i will spew.

    Head of footy maybe, but dont be fooled by their analysis on 360 or On the Couch being a resume for being a tactically astute AFL Coach

    I think we might need experienced senior replacement.

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

    If i see Nathan Buckley given the job i will burn down the MCG

    Pretty sure Longmire is still firmly entrenched at Sydney, doubt he moves to Melbourne to start from scratch.

    I’d like someone fresh, give every player a clean slate and get some energy back into the place.

    I’m looking at the assistants mentioned over Simmo, Horse, Buckley etc

    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).

    I’d definitely interview Hinkley and Longmire. Wouldn’t even bother with Buckley

    We’ll want to chat to Danny Daly.

    I just want someone "anyone" who will make the players accountable on the field. No more learnings or Momentum etc.

    No way I want Hird at our club. In any role, not even as a spectator.

    Either Bruce, Enright or Montgomery with Longmire running the Football department would be great.

    I have a feeling we already have someone on the hook, and think an announcement may be imminent if we sacked Goodwin now.

    Jose Mourinho? Probably he's the soccer version of SG 🤣

    What about Bartel, is he an option?

    Adelaide head of coaching this year who was a long time Brisbane assistant before that.

    He’d be a very Fagan style appointment

    Fooled by the analysis on 360???? They are hugely successful Premiership coaches, they are not getting picked up because of 360 🤦

    Longmire, Danny Daly and Enright are the ones to chase. Would love Longmire as I think he has a good mix of ruthlessness and team first mentality.

    No idea what he actually does these days, or if he has any coaching experience or interest, but this club needs a person like Luke Hodge who would not accept an of the cr@p we've been served up by the players over the last few years.

    I would be happy with this, he is Brisbane's Fagan successor in waiting

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
