Guy McKenna, a couple of reasons, all he knows is success and he has been in clubs with the best facilities and the best manage clubs is the com. He was key part to the best defense in the 90's, with one of his backline team mates already a premiership coachand is now involve with Collingwood who to many have a average list but the coaching staff is getting everything out of his players. He has no emotional link to any players at our club so the tough calls will be easy for him to make and his role at collingwood involves picking the other teams weaknesses and strengths so he will know what we need.

Voss or Mckenna - no way will I be able to support the purple guru - what did he ever do at Melbourne and what has he done at the shockers????

Posted

I would get either Voss or Ratten. I voted for Ratten though.

I like the way he worked with the mid fielders when he was with the club, and he has now coached his own team.

I am not against a coach coming straight from playing.

I dont want Connolly, he has already failed at one club with a very good list, and it does not seem like he has much control of the club.

What the hell are people voting for Voss for? The guy has never coached in his friggin' life. Let's look at this, we don't have a team like Hawthorn did - full of duds - rebuilding phase in which the coach can pick and choose who we wants to fit his mould. We have a ready-made team and the window of opportunity is now before White, Yze, Neitz etc retire. The last thing we need is some rookie coach who has no idea what he's doing.

Forget Connolly, he's a failure. Has had a fantastic list to work with at Fremantle and he's done nothing. Forget about the 10 games in a row Freo won at the end of last season and they have been nothing sort of a bloody joke.

Ratten. Been at the club, did a good job, experienced. Otherwise, Guy McKenna.

neither had Matthews..!!!!

Correct. And it took him 5 years to make a grand final - we don't have 5 years. Even then they were extremely lucky to be there.

5 years for a flag..

Deal !!!! where do we sign !!

Also how exactly dont we have 5 years ?/ is the world abou t to end ?

Ive waited 43 years to date... 5 more wouldnt kill me.

Id hardly describe Matthews coaching record...as lucky !!...and if it was simply that.. lets get someone with similar luck !! :-)

guy mckenna, id have to shoot myself.

same goes for chris connoly.

mark harvey and gary odonnel........please :wacko::wacko:

chris bond, who?

leaves us with voss, ratten and williams.

ratten, no thanks.

voss, inexperienced as a coach, but im not sure this matters.

williams, the man is obviously doing something right at sandy, and i keep seeing him in the box on matchdays for the dees. would be a good choice for mine.

the main thing is that the board shuts up and gets on with it, and puts their support behind the coach, and not be so reactionary after a horrible season and one bad loss, and gives the new coach a decent chance!

No Neitz, no White, no Yze, no Godfrey, no Holland, no Pickett, no Ward, no Brown, no Whelan, no Robertson. Okay, so we can do without some of them. But Neitz/Robo/White will be hard to replace. Don't under-estimate their influence.

I was referring to whilst he was Collingwood coach. Apart from 1990 when they were extremely lucky to make the grand final let alone win it, the team was terrible.

They havent gotten us a flag yet.. I actually have more faith in those comin up and consolidating than many of those here and present ...my opinion of course

all the more goes to speak of Mathews ability...not bad for an untried coach ?

I went for Guy McKenna based on absolutely nothing at all!

I've got no idea who is going to best coach the club.

My gut feel is that without any previous experience in any coaching capacity, Voss is just too risky!

Absolute Sense!

It must be realised that now we cannot go chasing premierships or at least expect to be be able to mix it with the best clubs. We need an Al Clarkson type, who is steadfast in deveolping youth and takes no crap from anyone, half our list is over 25!

Agreed. Voss hasn't got the right stuff to be a coach - he's too nice. We need someone who will accept no crap! Someone that the players would be too bloody scared to put in a performance like they did last Friday. And yes as Jiska says why go from one failed coach to another. And don't give me any BS about ND's record over 10 years in making the finals 6 times. There is only one measure for success and that is a premiership.

You want a premiership then target the best coaches and throw all resources at them to get them at the MFC. Leigh Matthews is clearly that man! He has done it all (four times) including mission impossible with Collingwood.

Rumour file on 3AW this morning said that Carlton officials were caught talking to Matthews. We must not be trumped by them. Go hard for him and we'll see the results!

Id go for Mark Harvey

Im not convinced that voss can just step up and be a senior coach, although if anyone cane these days its probably Him and Bucks...... Connolly... if he comes ill have to consider if i still support the dees, He is a joke and everything he has done at Freo( soft team, ill disiplined and mentally weak) are all the things we are susceptible too, that and technically he has no idea..

To me if they dont take the punt on Vossy it should and will be either Guy Mckenna or The Horse Longmire....Ross lyon may not have set the world on fire at the saints yet, but he is the mould of the modern coach and McKenna and Longmire fit that bill, in my opinion better.

I know it is long time ago but a RON BARASSI left our glorious club and took over the coaching of Carlton and was also captain, I don't think he balls it up, got a flag I believe.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
