RR is right, a new coach almost always brings his own people in, and added to that is our policy of only doing one year contracts with the assistants, so it's really a given.

    tacky, lacking class and a slight on neils character is how i see alot of the above comments.

    take the man on his word, you have no reason not to.

    he has and still does have the clubs best interests at heart.

    the players should take some inspiration from neils selfless act and truely show what they keep saying about him.

    wouldn't surprise me if they play gutsy, hard football till the end of the year.

    CAC is a bit different, he's not an assistant coach, more of a manager.

    Why do some assistants only get one year contracts but Fagan gets more?

    Fagan had his contract extended along with CAC pre-season.

    They could easily do the selections.

    RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHTO you two. You've had your fun. :rolleyes: <_<

    The only BIG query I have over Voss is the fact that he's going to need a couple of years to REALLY get up to speed AT LEAST! If ANYTHING can be done to get past that teething period I'd like to see that it's pursued. If he can learn as MUCH as possible about coaching, and MFC's list such as it is, then I want us to go after him with everything we have.

    If he's recruited after round 22, then I'd suggest we are going to have another disgraceful year in 2008.

    But of course, the fact that he's still listed at Brisbane means the point is moot.

    No, and I don't think Voss would be a good replacement he is an unproven entity sure he was a great player but can he coach?

    i've never been that confident of myself to say i really know what goes on with the footy dept. or how they think.

    it obviously appears to some people that there are some favourites; there very well could be.

    but i wouldnt be so arogant to say there are and it's a bad thing with out knowing the reasons why.

    fill me in.

    It wouldn't suprise me at all to see Neil at the helm in Freo next year, I'm gutted to loose him the club will suffer without him and I can see things getting a lot worse before they get better, new coaches aren't a silver bullett, you only need to look at Richmond, Terry Wallace (how he escapes scruitiny is beyond me), St kilda, Carlton and these are only current examples.

    Lets focus on actually finding a coach first (we are not making 2 minutes noodles!) and let someone who has served the Club well over long period of time finish with some dignity.

    Well said Rhino

    Anyone in favour of Demonland taking over selection till the end of the season?

    I can see Newton pretty much captaining the side for 10 rounds if that was the case! :lol:

    Please, please not brownlowbruce

    We'd have Mclean playing in sandringham and Miller / Bruce joint captains.

    But i guess we'd get the number one draft pick at seasons end 100% :lol:

    Tony Jones said on Ch.9 that there is no guarantee that Daniher will coach beyond the Essendon game on Friday.

    I hope for the club's sake that he does.

  • Quote

    totally agree jaded, if he does not coach beyond friday night ..... our club will be in even more dissaray....then yeah...

    so did danniher get sacked or he said that he wanted to walk... just want to make sure of the facts ....

    ND admitted as much last year regarding Yze.

    Depends how they perform next couple of rounds, if the wheels fall off completely perhaps he should go, but my general feeling is to stay till the end of the year. If he goes early put the assistant coach in to do the job, that is what they did in 96 when Neil Balme went, Greg Hutchieson did the job (and did it pretty well as I recall).

    Tony Jones is a ####wit, he knows nothing about what's ahppening behind the scenes of clubs, he just makes comments to try and get his name in the papers.

    Has anyone noticed that Tony Jines does'nt cover football anymore...apart from anchoring the sports news, he's now a liestyle and human interest reporter. This is for a reason - hes never played footy is'nt involved in the "inner sanctums" at clubs, yet attempts to emulate craig hutchinson by being inflamatory and trying to break 'big' strores which are usually storms in teacups and invariably dont eventuate. Pual Gardiner is holding a press conference tomorrow midday.

    Hopefully the conference goes something like this:

    "We'd like to thank Neale for his services... bla bla bla"

    "We're now looking into prospective coaches...bla bla bla"

    "We won't be making anymore comments until a coach has been found...bla bla bla"

    "Oh, and Chris Connolly will most certainly NOT be given an interview"

    Please oh god somebody put me out of my misery about this Chris Connolly thing.

    I'm now barracking for Freo to make the finals. Go Freo go! <_<

    what did he say and what was his reasoning behind that?

    If it's what I'm thinking of it was along the lines of Yze being a matchwinner - a guy you stick with because he can virtually win games for you.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
