    Hopefully we appoint a GM FD before committing to the coach.

    A coach would want to know who his boss will be and that their ideas on game plan, list etc are aligned.

    Lets not put the cart before the horse and get the coach first!

    Ideally the GM FD is onboard in time to finalise the coach.

    Caro seems to think that Adam Simpson is the favourite to take on that role.

    Think that role suits him perfectly well.

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

    And someone who has contingency moves ready from selectionday and the gonads to make them the moment momentum changes.

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

    Reckon the AFL will have moved them to Hobart pretty soon

    I am betting on Cam Bruce..

    He and Brad Green would have a special relationship as they played together for many years.

    A Demon at heart..

    Well schooled at Hawthorn and Brisbane, fresh and new

    Get the longer odds before they tighten!!!

    West Coast traded and drafted their list in to oblivion so that would be a bold call.

    You’d think Adrian Hickmott would be the odds on favourite if Simmo took the GM job.

    Must give a ring to Cam Bruce and Corey Enright IMO

    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.

    The talk here in the West is that Simmo who is moving back to Victoria is looking to extend his coaching career. The West Australian which has a close relationship with Simmo stated in a headline from a coupe of weeks ago that he is moving to “Melbourne” not “Victoria” is very suggestive. Why move back without a serious job offer if so? Where could it be, Norf, Carlton or us?

    At that point before the Saints disaster I reckon it would have been Carlton.

    Sadly I think the top trio will be replaced.

    In the future can we get someone who can improve the forward half's goal kicking skills.

    I really hope that we don't get Simpson. Given that West Coast are a far bigger and much more resourceful club than it us it says a lot that that they ended up becoming Melbourne 2013 levels of bad under his watch. They don't look like getting back on the up anytime soon either.

    Whoever it is, they MUST have to come from a successful program ie; Geelong, Brisbane, Hawthorn etc, even a massively successful 2nd tier comp we still have both Alan Richardson and Mark Williams in the background. Steven King is a highly regarded person and coach from all reports.

    I dont like the idea of Buckley, Simmo or horse, their time has come and gone. A fresh voice and hunger to succeed.

    I'd love to see Brendan McCartney back at the club, great person, great with the young fellas and has a great no [censored] policy.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
