If the two Prima Donnas do not get what they want elsewhere, maybe we need some child care workers or kinder teachers..

No. King out in 2009, Rivers traded in 2013

Left Geelong at the end of 2007 to play for St Kilda.

Love this. Welcome back to your home, Jared.

Two things are looking VERY clear already - we will have a very different game style, and lots of new voices influencing our playing group. Sounds positive so far.

His record and experience suggests he's a good get. I was worried no one wanted to help coach us for a minute.

Welcome back to the fold Jared ❤️💙

Another ex Geelong player coming on board

Interested in Rory Atkins as a development coach apparently.

Per Tom Morris.

Hamill is coming as well. Perhaps Hamill will be forward coach and Chaplin simply ball movement and strategy/senior assistant. Maybe, baby.

This makes sense.

Don’t say baby

I was a little concerned as well.

Looks like things are coming together nicely.

Should have had an actual forward coaching the group 4 years ago.

Like Geelong you mean? The Geelong who have an ex-defender as their forwards coach?

How people can continue to insist that assistant coaches should only coach the position they played is mind-boggling.

 

Very happy to hear this. One of the highest IQ backline players we ever had

Welcome back Our first rising star as I recall

A dam good appointment

Lots of water under the bridge since he was last with us.

  • 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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
