I've got it all sorted. Could have saved these clubs hundreds of thousands in consultants fees. They just need to sort out who will be the first to appoint and the rest will follow.

Dees - Voss/Ratten - Ratten most likely.

Poos - Voss/Ratten - Voss most likely.

Shockers - McKenna/Daniher - McKenna most likely.

Dungs - Sheedy/Daniher - Daniher most likely.

Why Ratten ? He is an assistant at Carlton, why would we go for an assistant at such a poor team ? He also left Melbourne half way through a contract he is not the right man for Melbourne.

McKenna and Viney should be the only 2 considered. Forget about has beens like Connelly, Pagan and Sheedy we should be looking to the future not the past. If we go back to the past we might as well have kept Daniher.

Voss's lack of coaching experience worries me.

no way should Voss get a go, he needs to learn the ropes, who the hell does he think he is that he can waltz in and coach a team with no knowledge or experience in the coaching game. Plus l reckon he's a bit of a [censored]

It is simple

Brett Ratten is the man to coach Melbourne

Any of the other contenders will set us back 10 years

If we dont get Ratten, I may not renew my membership

He is the obvious choice

If ratten had wanted to coach the dees he would have hung around more than 5 weeks as an assistant.

He would make a great coach, but voss seems more interested in spreading his wings OUTSIDE his former club.

I have heard whispers of Peter Sumich putting his hand up for a senior job in Victoria. The verdict is out on that one.

i was on the carlton plane back from sydney on sunday, somewhat unfortunate, but i did get a chance to speak to brett ratten on the bus on the way to long term carpark.

He seemed really excited about coaching the dees, he said he was in the process of the applying and he was looking forward to it a lot. We got onto talking about other things such as the dockers (he doeasnt rate connoly) and money AFL clubs spend per year, which was really interesting.

I think he would be a great coach!

LOL Y_M you wonder why you get banned, you go too far sometimes....

Personally, I have likened to the idea of ratten, I believe he is the perfect fit for us, a hard nosed coach.

I assume the application and assessment process is more than just allowing him to 'waltz in'. Otherwise he's got as much right to apply as anyone else. Jeez ... he hasn't got the job yet.

There are just 3 criteria we should be considering for the new top dog. Anyone who fits all criteria should be shortlisted and considered for the roll:

1) They must have experienced premiership success as either a player or coach. We need people at the club who know what it takes to win. We should not take on anyone who was great at losing.

2) They must have played as a backman or on-baller. This gives preference to those people with a defensive midset, who will train their team to be accountable and hard at the ball, rather than soft and outside.

3) They must have had prior experience as a coach or assistant coach. Great players do not necessarily make great coaches, and vice versa. But managing a group of self-motivated individuals to get them to play as a cohesive unit, as well as all the other staff associated with the football department is a learned skill, and not one which you can have without sufficient exposure.

So now to assess the names:

Voss - 1 & 2 but no 3

Ratten - 1, 2 & 3 - candidate worth considering

Longmire - 1 & 3 no 2

Sumich - 1 & 3 no 2

McKenna - 1, 2 & 3 - candidate worth considering

My vote is with McKenna. He is given loads of responsibility at a place where they are getting enormous output from a pretty thin list. Ratten is getting nothing from a dud list.

feel free to add other names...

Im a big fan of Mick Malthouse as a coach, So I would love to have one of his assistants.

Either Gavin Brown or Guy McKenna. Both were stars and both won premierships and have done their apprenticeships under Mick. They could also bring Buckley as a assistant.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
