    If we hire Daly as the coach maybe the Ashcroft boys and Logan morris can come as a bonus

    Excellent. Now take note of who Graham Wright is lining up as coach in waiting at Carlton and nab one of them as the senior coach and away we go

    Bruce has been huge for Brisbane over the last couple of years.

    Melbourne connection aside, this would be a fantastic acquisition.

    I reckon he'd be a great addition, hope it comes to fruititon.

    Would Bruce want to be at a club with a Guerra ??

    excellent

    i was hoping he would be keen for a senior role but i suspect this gets him back to the city of melbourne before a coaching role becomes available end of 2026 (e.g. carlton, potentially north, mebbe a succession plan at the aints or the peptides)

    would be a great get, similar to when we hired Yze

    not sure he'd want to play second fiddle though. i thought he wanted to be a senior coach

    I'm a big fan of Bruce but it does seem odd to be hiring an assistant coach before the senior coach is locked in.

    O

    It does seem odd, unless you assume that the senior coach has already been asked this question . One would normally think that all the assistants come in with the new coach. Or at the very least they have some say or interview existing staff. I am thinking conspiracy theory here, the decision was made some time ago on who might be the new bloke, only needed the right time to tap goody on the shoulder. If he stuffed up I guess.

    But you cannot say that out loud, just think it.

    Usually the Senior Coach get their pick of the litter when it comes to their assistants. Maybe one or two blokes are left over with contracts to carry over. Not seen a team hire assitants before the new senior coach is announced.

    I would not be at all surprised to learn that we're all just watching a pantomime selection process when the decision was really made weeks ago though. As silly as that would be.

    What if ..... what if the interview process isn't about the Coach ? ( well head coach per se )

    Lots of other positions to fill. So why not do it in plain sight, behind doors, as it were.

    Move along, nothing to see, well not what you're all thinking .....

    Daly and Bruce as a combo?

    Cam is a different kettle of fish, he comes from successful organisations and has build a good foundation of skills outside of the Melbourne way, it is this reason I think Nathan Jones should be moved on after this year (plus he is the under performing midfield/stoppage coach), having lost 75% of all the games he played at the club, go learn your craft at other successful organisations and potentially come back one day. The last thing we need is the boys' club raring it's head again, which it looks like it is already underway. Cam has the added benefit of doing his apprenticeship under Clarkson & now Fagan.

    Mm, how can we recruit assistants with no senior coach?

    I guess if we wait a month all the top assistants would be gone

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
