Memo to the new coach 2008 and beyond

Featured Replies

Just though we could give the new coach a few hints on what we need and a few traps ND always feel into.

Cam Bruce is not a tagger and never should be used in this role. The only time he should be considered for a defensive role is against Brad Johnson. Bruce is a hard running attacking midfielder, he reads the play well but struggles with his natural game when asked to tag.

Ward and Brown should not be played in the same defense, this may not count as I would expect one our both of these to be deisted or Retire at years end.

Find a role for Brad Green or Trade him and I don't know what this role is, I don't think it is a midfield role maybe a perminate HFF.

Jeff White needs to be accountable for his man, no point being the highest possesion ruckman in the comp if you are getting beating in your main role and picking up cheap kicks. No more standing by yourself on the flanks work hard to contests and rembember what he was good at contested marks, I would say he would be on the lower end for ruckman in this stat.

Get Col Sylvia fit and into our midfield no point having him running of the line to be appling pressure put his big body in the there to start. This is not any body's fault injury has slowed this from happening.

Decide whether Miller is a CHF or key back we all have our opinions and I always thought he has good as a lead up forward but I think his value maybe down back.

Tell Nathan Carroll to get his mongreal back, is no good push around of the ball it's your attack on the ball and contest is where we need his hardness back. He seems to be trying to play a zoning role on his forward, Nathan it is not working get toe to toe.

Travis Johnstone should not start on the bench. He is our most talented midfielder get him on the ground.

Get Robbo back on a HFF, if you want a couple of years out of Neita he must have the 25m to goal line as his zone and that is where Neita has to stay, not CHF, a true FF. Robbo can pinch hit next to him but I'd love to see Neita and Newton(if he can keep improving) out of the square.

Find a tagger with skill, hopefully Bartram will come back and fill this role. Godfrey wil give you everything he has and I respect him for that but he should only come in as a back up.

Teach our players to block and sheppard, to create paths for guys like Tarv and Brock at the stoppages, we let them get man handled.

Finally back your players, our players are at their best when they play attacking hard running football, we look good with high scoring games we don't play well when we have a defensive midset.

Look forward to finding out who you will be and wish you the best of luck and one thing we are tired of losing and expect to win from 2008 and beyond.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
