    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 !!!

    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.

    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.

    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

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
