At this rate no one else will apply. Then Bucks will probably pull out. Will have a search committee with no candidates.

ah, that's some epic levels of mfcss - full hanrahan!

I don’t think it will happen but I’d also expect no other serious candidate will apply for the job whilst there’s this much Buckley smoke. Maybe a couple of young assistants who just want to experience the process.

If it is an open search we better start communicating that to candidates.

she actively says that he should coach tasmania(n) devils, a team that DOES NOT EXIST, over the melbourne demons, the oldest team in the top tier competiton in the world and the founder of the game

I noticed that too. What an outrageous opinon for a so call journalist to put into print.

Vindictive, nasty & degrading at worst. Immeasurable ignorance at best.

she's not really a journalist anymore; more an opinionist

I used to respect Caro but now since joining Cornes on 7 she seems to have become a sour bitter old [censored] with a huge negative opinion on the smaller clubs in the competition

Mate, thats all she has ever been. I got a small holiday on the day Roos signed as coach for saying that.

I completely stopped respecting her years ago after she would write an opinion piece on a Tuesday and then quote her own opinions on the Thursday as "Facts".....

It's not that Wilson necessarily has it in for Melbourne, she just loves old Benny Gale and desperately wants Buckley to coach the Devils due to the Benny love and Richmond connection.

That's it in a nutshell.


Code sports survey

3600 votes

60% say Nathan Buckley is the best choice to coach the Dees in 2026

Let’s see if the Dees powerbroker panel agree?

How many times are they gonna ask him the same question?

Just got an email from the Club re the coach panel.

Happy there are a few reasonable externals on the panel, Jobe Watson and Director of football at Storm...


Welcome to Demonland James Hird!

Well the osbrl appointed. I am sure it’s all above board. No one except bucks will apply Get it fone

Just now, chook fowler said:

Jobe Watson. Hmmmm

Certainly a curious choice


Jobe Watson has a high footy IQ apparently. I’m not sure about that. Never heard of the other 2 externals.

If this is just a front for optics purposes far better to just announce bucks and be done with it

Jobe Watson? Isn't he the one whose career apex was under the disgraced coach James Hird who championed a supplement injection scandal? Is that what we're looking for in terms of "intimate knowledge of the day-to-day operations of a football department"?

 

Frank ponissi gives me confidence. He's been craig Bellamy's right hand man for years & will definitely know what to look for in a successful coach.

Jobe watson is random.

Jobe Watson is a trained barista so makes sense as a lot of caffeine will be needed during the process

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
