Longmire sure

Bruce or Enright or any number of other assistants with impressive showings in a thorough process sure

Hinkley no thanks

Simmo no thanks, was past it years ago

Hird hell no, should never work in the industry again, maybe we could get Dank, Lance Armstrong and the 90s Russian and Chinese swim teams in to help with Hirdy’s sports science program too!

Bucks I hate with the fire of a thousand suns. Would be the only time that I just don’t think I could do it, might have to take a break from footy. Also he’s very similar to Goodwin except that Goodwin is a good person and Bucks is not. You want cultural problems, have a look at what went on at the pies under Bucks and especially when Bucks was Malthouse’s assistant, yikes and yuk.

Luke Hodge

I heard his presentation will include great ideas such as telling Gawn to leave to another club.

 

I'll be barracking for Carlton so Voss survives and we can pick whoever we want

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).

Not a bad call Ethan

They've managed to sack the coach, so having an interim everything hasn't been a barrier to a pretty bloody big decision.

You'd have to say Smith is clearly pulling the strings and thus will pull the next one with the incoming coach.

I don't think we should worry about the interim aspect of the President. Smith is on the board. Green is staying on as a football director. They're just changing the titles around. It's a Smith-Green ticket no matter which way they arrange it.

The new CEO has to start before they hire a new coach tho. And they have to clarify the rest of the footy department changes.

Sacking a coach is one thing, hiring the new guy without full club alignment is another.

1 Longmire

2 Skipworth

3 Enright

Dark horse, Cam Bruce!

Anyone saying James Hird needs their head checked.

Calm down, ya mini-pancake. I’d take him in an admin role, not coach.

How about as High Performance Manager Ethan ?

Is that Richardson’s current role? If so, yes. Whatever.It.Takes.

John Longmire is the top priority to ask.

But is he cooked?

Grand Final losses in 2014, 2016, 2022 and 2024 means he panics when the pressure is it's highest.

Justin Leppitsch is also a dark horse who might throw his hat in the ring.

I guess it depends who WANTS to coach the Melbourne Demons?

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.

Great ideas, whilst we're at it, we probably should change our club colors, our logo, relocate to another country and play a different sport!

Sorry, but you are kidding if you think everyone will get thrown out alongside the coach. Basically cos -> https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/12/04/why-the-man-who-conducted-melbourne-review-has-a-very-different-perception
That review has been done at the end of last season, the MFC isn't doing another one, and I'm pretty sure Darren Shand presented to the board at the same one Goody did.


Looks like Horse is our number one priority. I like this a lot.

I think we might need experienced senior replacement.

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

Experienced senior coaches are available because they were moved on.

The only experienced coach I’d be keen on

Would be great if he could bring in some high quality assistants who could potentially form a succession plan (but I’m getting ahead of myself here!)

  • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    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?
