    we’ e got a stack of people leaving and no one in the door yet!

    Update Mr Wells - there was some talk here about someone very high up in the coaching hierarchy being appointed, in case you missed something.

    Something about a king - maybe you could be the court jester

    I wonder if the work experience kid running our social media made an error sending out the tweet which disabled comments on the post or perhaps they were worried a few Melb supporters would have gone to town with "good riddance" on the comments...

    Farewell Nathan. I have no idea what you have done for the club because all our media team got out there was your introduction video but I'm sure your intentions were great and thankyou for returning to this great club.

    Bassett (defence), Williams (development), Radford (midfield) and potentially Chaplin (forwards) all gone/going and a new strategy boss role being made.

    Nathan Jones, Allan Richardson seem to be the last ones standing?

    I hope King has a lot of mates.

    We gave up our most points against in a season since 2015 so I won’t exactly be crying myself to sleep over this particular departure.

    Richmond have come for Chaplin. They're his old club. Wouldn't be surprised if he moves after so long at the Dees. Watch this space.

    If your King you want to hold onto one of the coaches, Chaplin knows a lot about the players and this will be invaluable to King.

    Possibly LT but Chappy was adamant that he was staying at the club, looked like come hell or high water to me.

    Who declares they will leave with a payout to be agreed

    BTW - what makes people so sure King will have carte blanche to bring in his mates. I doubt this very much.

    What makes you so sure King has mates?

    The coaching landscape is pretty grim these days. Rumors were we were struggling to find anyone last year when we brought in Basset and Jones.

    I'm more hoping that he does have mates rather than expecting him to at this stage.

    Yes exactly. We need to bring in competent professionals not mates.

    King was asked in his presser about bringing a 'team' or words to that affect. He said he wanted to be awarded the job based on his own merits, and implied he'd work with the existing assistants. That was my read.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
