    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.

    • 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.
