TO COACH OR NOT TO COACH

That is the question.

Interesting comment at the end about Kevin Sheedy -

"There is a lot of comment going around about what Sheeds should do and, like I said, I don't want to be making judgements on him. He's been a good mate and mentor of mine for a long time.

In his first year at Essendon in 1981, I had my best season of AFL football as a player. He was my coach until I retired and then a mentor when I joined the Bombers' coaching panel at the start of my coaching career.

All I will say about him is that he is a big boy, he's been in the game a long time and whatever decision Sheeds makes, I know it will be the best for him, his family and future club. And that's good enough for me."

    Regardless of what you think of Neale Daniher, he can certainly hold his head high for the way he has conducted himself since giving away the coaching position - he is just such an honest likeable guy.

    I know it has been said before by myself and other on this site, but i really do wish him all the best for his future. He still has a lot to offer the football world.

    Quite right. He is an outstanding person,gave his all for the MFC and deserves success where ever he ends up..

    Deesrock, i have to agree, there is a blank spot where Daniher used to be. Hopefully Sheeds fills it :D

    I dont think anyone here or elsewhere ever doubted the calibre of the bloke. Top fella; was just the coaching that confounded us at times etc. I and many other always wished him the best. Stilll do. Hopefullly not 'too' much success at Essendon *wink* :)

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
