Id go for Mark Harvey

 
Id go for Mark Harvey

Well vote for him then - 2 votes so far both for Voss so add your 2 cents worth mate!

 

Where is Nathan Buckley ,he doesnt rate a mention?


Brett Ratten. Brett Ratten. Brett Ratten.

He has coached his own team.

He has worked under experienced coaches.

He is familiar with Melb ie. players, weaknesses and off field structure and would have a fair idea of changes he would like to make.

We would need to make an offer befor the season finishes.

If Pagan is no longer at the blues they will sign Ratten quick sticks.

If not Ratten then I would advocate taking a punt on Voss.

I will be disappointed if we get Mark Harvey I have heard that many in the business do not believe him capable of a senior role.

GET IT !!

I have been a long time supporter of Buckley and feel kind of vindicated as both gerard healy and mike sheahan both nominated Buckley as the coach most promising.both of them are melbourne men and are as precise as anyone in analysis.I hope Gardner listens.

 

If I hear the Words Michael Voss or Chris Connelly uttered in the same sentence as the MFC and Coach - I think Iam going to scream



Eddei Jones ( well maybe not him)

Good grief he had enough troubles within his own code ;) !!!

I am an advocate for chasing someone who is or has been involved with the club so...

JIM STYNES.

Viney for me. I'd like to see a demon leader leading the demons.

But most importantly, I want to see a stable assistant coaching group with good talent and support, who the new coach can be comfortable delegating to.

It's a team thing, ya know.

:blink: Maybe we can introduce co-coaches or a coaching rotation every year :blink:

John longmuir??


Very simple answer to this vexing question.

Michael Voss will be the next coach of the MFC.

He and Gardner will be a nice match and hit it off from the start. The board will respect his success and his hunger to prove that he can cut it at senior coaching level. Forget that drivel about spending time being an assistant and learning the ropes. Robert (dumbo) Shaw is a prime example of not the way to go.

Why wouldn't you want a champion player who once he crossed the line took no prisoners?

This is the attitude we need. Look forward, not back. Any talk of Lyon, Pagan and CC is retrograde thinking.

A rare moment, a new broom. Seize the time, take a chance.

Voss for mine and beggar the consequences.

He and Gardner will be a nice match and hit it off from the start.

might prove a very prothetic evaluation !! :-)

 

Voss for me. Or possibly Ratten. Would be absolutely spewin if Connelly gets the job, he is a muppet

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
