What was my namesake "Choco" Williams thinking releasing the new coach? As if Bailey didn't tell him in confidence. Yes, he has an obligation to his club, but is he insane? He should not have revealed the new coach of another club. Dog act.

    It was decided last night why wait so long to announce it? It's not Chocko's fault that our club has been milking the whole process for all that it's worth, good on him I reckon at least we are all out of the dark.

    I can understand Chocko not giving two hoots about the MFC - but surely out of respect for his long-term colleague, he could have kept his mouth shut for a couple of days

    I've always liked Mark Williams...

    Thanks Choko for putting us out of our misery ;)

    Choco is paid by the Alberton people.. not ours!!

    But what about a bit of respect for his loyal deputy and Melbourne in holding back the secret until Monday? What difference will it make if he was in the coaches box this weekend for their game against a decimated Shockers side?....

    It would have been very obvious to the media why Bailey wasn't at the Power's training today. They asked him a direct question, and he doesn't have to keep the situation quiet for the MFC.

    It would have been nice as a bit of respect for Riley in his last game coaching us.

    The club knew, Baliey knew, so couldn't they have just announced it today instead of waiting the weekend?

    And while I get that it would have been nice (and respectful) for Williams to keep his mouth shut he isn't obligated to do anything of the sought.

    Agreed. When someone resigns to join a competitor it is normal practice that the person leaves the premises immediately.

    Surely MFC would have considered this likelihood and would have been prepared to announce to the market

    Riley was told last night, so it's irrelevant to him I would have thought.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
