When asked what he could bring to Melbourne, Sheedy said: "passion" and "togetherness", so he certainly knows what we need!

Very happy with all the other candidates too. Ratten, McKenna and Bond all seem like good options.

We don't need Libbatore. Get Ratten or McKenna. Go Dees

I laughed

The talk of McKenna worries me, he's been passed over numerous times... and then hinted that other people had stolen his ideas for their own presentations and because they were better speakers got the nod....WTF!!!

Firstly being able to communicate is a vital skill of any successful coach... Secondly and I know this is only the internet... but those who have claimed to have played under him in the WAFL (and I've read about three seperate comments) all claim he is no good. Most of the people pushing for his appointment appear to be coaches themselves. You have to ask yourself why no players are saying he'd be any good.

Already met Hardwick and expecting to meet Connolly in the next few days. Would be surprised if they didn't meet Viney and Longmire too.

Mark Williams was on of the 5 yesterday & Hardwick if confirmed would be 6th.

Today would include Bond, & Connolly and Riley will be on the list. Viney would be logical. (anyone know if Todd has put his hand up?) Longmire as noted in papers has not been in anyones sights this year so is one of a number of possibles for last spot. Wren?

M Voss would be the other of the "dirty dozen" on the shortlist when it was drawn up but since scratched himself from the field.

It is possible that the remaining person may be from wider range of people and even not direct current AFL pool. Only 2 on the list have senior coaching experience - Sheedy & Connolly & so may the MFC is looking at the Man U basis of split role also. Note that the Melbournefc marketing approach brought in by Gardner/Harris is directly based on ManU branding & was one of the things Harriss and ND looked at specifically on their overseas trip a year or so ago.

If MFC does that way, Sheedy with either McKenna or Mark Williams looks good to me. Mark should be the one person from current coaching group kept for some continuity with players and he has caoahed all our young guns except Flash who came straight in to senior side.

I think CAC and Chis Fagan are contracted for 2008 but only two.

I really think Sheedy for 3 years with Mark Williams (Sandy) as an assistant preparing to take over is the best thing. His record is outstanding. Give him a go.

VINEY has indeed said he is ready to coach. Said it on triple m before the hawks game a week ago. Said Voss wasn't ready and he only feels now after 3 years assisting that he is ready for a top job. I REALLY hope we interview him and give him a go over everyone else.

Headline should read:

Sheedy Declines Dees Job

Doesn't want to associate with people who talk with Connoly

Kevin Sheedy has decided against applying for the coaching position at the Melbourne Football club, citing disinterest after the club decided to contact Chris Connoly for the position.

When quizzed further on his decision, Sheedy claimed that the Demons process was 'worse than martians throwing marshmellows at my head.'

His decision has badly damaged the Dees search for a new coach, but it didn't seem to phase Mr. Sheedy. 'Look, you make your bed, you lie in it' was all he could convey to the MFC.

I wouldn't worry about the Connolly thing too much.

These are just preliminary talks, and from what I understand from reading all about this 'process', after this first round of interviews, they will cut down the list further. Once a new list is complied, each candidates would, assumingly, make a presentation and undergo therapy, dry needling, and an acting clinic hosted by Tom Cruise.

Only after all that, will we select the new coach, so not everyone being interviewed will make the newer, shorter list.

Nope, nope, nope. You've all got it wrong.

In order to find a true and worthy champion, one with such a desire and unmatchable strength who will lead us to victory, it can only be resolved by one contest.

The Roshambo

This is truly a man's game, and at the end, only one will be able to stand and claim victory.

It takes a lot of guts and balls to compete, the winner, no doubt will have balls of a champion.

(for those unfamiliar to the Roshambo, i recommend you watch 'The South Park Movie')

Problem with that. Connelly has no balls. Therefore he would win. We dont want that

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
