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

They would still have a better idea compared to those who rarely / never see Sandy play.

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!

Agree. What is his title? Development coach?

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
