Does anyone think that he is an option to coach Melbourne?

Should be. Probably isn't.

He's coached Sandringham to the premiership year after year. It's hard to say he's no good.

To those who have seen a fair bit of Sandy over the past few years.

Would Mark Williams be a good (good enough) option to coach the MFC?

You could watch Sandy 100 times a week and you'd never be able to categorically say he would or wouldn't be a good coach.

Spot on!

MFC selection committee should interview him but not sure they will.

He was not an option for interim coach as his priority is to get Sandy to another GF. A coach who wins 4 premierships in a row at any level must have some coaching ability! He also handles himself well with supporters & media etc

I didn't see it, but was told that there was an interview with him at half time of the VFL coverage on Saturday where he said Paul Gardner asked him to apply and Mark said that he would.

I saw the interview and I didnt hear that part, but I did hear him say he was keen. Bring him on. The Leigh Matthews of the VFL.

He has also been in the MFC coaches box on game days through most of the last 2 years at least & so may be in a good position to have formed views on how he would take the young group on MFC list forward. He has coached most if not all of them on game day. So should apply and should be interviewed.

Conversely, he could also be held to be partly to blame for the poor outcome of MFC if he has had input in the coaching this year.

That is ridiculous, do you honestly believe that RR?

He should be in the mix after his successes at Sandringham. Don't agree with the glass half empty mentality RR given what he has done at Sandringham where he is in control!

I think he was just putting it out there as a possibility. We don't know how much, if any, input he has on match day. That is something only those in the box would know.

Exactly Brocky.

There some uninformed judgements being made about what goes on in the coaches box. While I do not necessarily hold my earlier view it would have the same validity as the comment about his contribution in the MFC coaches box......Probably little in real life!

I don't think he would have had a lot of say in the box on game day.

Agree. What is his title? Development coach?

I'd be suprised if he ever had input tactically on match day.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
