Have King and Cam Bruce crossed paths coaching-wise?

Saw Cam on post game for Brissie.

A candidate?

Bruce was approached regarding the head coach vacancy and declined the process.

    • Demonland changed the title to Assistant Coaches
     

    Interesting choice given that Casey's success seemed to be predominantly due to the performances of the older players.

    We really didn't see much development from the likes of Laurie, Howes, Woewodin, Adams and Jefferson at Casey this year, to say nothing of Brown, Sestan and Verrall being delisted.

    Dont love it.

    Would have preferred someone externally with a good amount of AFL playing and coaching experience.

    New voice would have been handy.

    Strange decision until it isnt. People more than me have made this appointment but it will be questioned in the media spotlight no doubt. Assuming King had a say too?

    You get to pick your assistant coaches

    What team are you building around you?

    Well I'm happy to be approached as Goal Kicking coach😇

    Fair to say that we did see some genuine development of some young players at Casey this year. Culley, Adams, Kentfield all seemed to improve over the course of the season.

    Great appointment! Taylor is professional, he commands respect and he communicates really well with the players. And it should please some folks on here to know that he’s not afraid to give a spray.

    With big changes in personnel it’s important for the players to have some familiar faces around, if possible. Cub (yes, that’s his nickname) works well with Selwyn, too

    I think he’ll nail this!

    nah, it's in the eating!

    Always felt this expression falls short. For me, how my GIT system processes the pudding is equally important.

    Anything can taste good, I just dont want to spend the next 4 hours with the runs.

    Guess 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating and sh!tting" doesn't sound as nice.

    I'm wondering if he comes cheaply, knows the younger guys already through the Casey system and enables us to spend the soft cap more wisely on assistant coaches and this defacto head of footy role above Richo.

    Though I'm not saying the development role isn't vital, but it could well be a one year deal or a shorter term deal. I wonder if Lord Nev will become available soon.

    If he is going to succeed he is going to need some talent to develop.

    Yep, having someone new for the sake of having someone new isn’t wise. Taylor isn’t new to the Dees but he’s very good at his job and now he’s been promoted, deservedly so.

    He got Casey into the finals .

    He knows something.

    So does the MFC

    You tend to make these kinds of comments a lot and time them so they get the reactions but never add anything of substance to the discussion and put others down for simply having an opinion. I've seen it multiple times now.

    . I know this won't be popular as this place is popularity driven rather than merit but if you don't like others opinions then don't read.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
