Senior Coach: Dean Bailey

Fitness Coach: Bohdan Bubjuck (how ever you spell it)

Where does Josh Mahoney fit in?

Who else do we want for the other spots? Todd Viney now that Hardwick didnt get the Bombers job?

Can we afford a development coach?

I wouldnt mind finding out if Aaron Hamill is available.

I dont know him but have heard him speak, He strikes me as a quality person and a leader.

He always tried to get the utmost out of himself.

I believe the assistant coaching staff at this stage are: Williams and Mahoney (confirmed), and O'Donnell (unconfirmed). I'd like the club to add another dedicated assistant in a dual capacity as Ruck coach with maybe a developmental role as well.- maybe someone like Luke Darcy or Matthew Clarke.

I think Mark Williams title is misleading, my understanding is that he's Sandy's senior coach... to call him our development coach is just paying lip service to a very important role at the club.

Good shout Graz. Both are high-quality individuals, so would be well suited to a mentoring role. Doubtful the club will do it though, unless it's at Bailey's specific request.

Isn't our development coach Mark Williams from sandy??

We need to get a full time development coach.

In fact, we need to put more money into the footy department, and I believe the club is looking into it.

When you compare the spending of clubs like Collingwood, not to mention interstate clubs, it is staggering to see how far behind we are.

Also, the fact that we've had such a high turnover of staff is a concern. We change our assistant coaches more than you change your underwear. It really is a worry.

Bailey is probably looking at getting a team around him that he trusts and that share his vision. It might take a few weeks for that team to come together, now that the finals are over. Who knows, we might be looking to poach assistants, or maybe he wants to bring in some more ex-players.

We also need a full time ruck coach IMO... like Sam Newman, only sane ;)

Mark Williams is an interesting one. On the one hand it makes good sense to share the development role with the Sandy role as most of the developing players would be playing at Sandy anyway. How much this compromises his role at Melbourne is debateable.

Tom Hafey for more motivation. the man is fitter than anyone i know and would blow some wind up there ass if they didn't comply. This would remove the last of the daniher fairys buzzing around. Get some Blood sweat and tears back in the gym and on the track. The man is a tough and thats what we need. A tackling coach from storm too would be handy Jmac was the only one that was comitted to tackling last year

Barry Prendergast is the Opposition Analyst. He used to coach at Werribee.

Oddly enough Australian Novelist Barry Oakley's second book (1970) was "Let's Hear it for Prendergast". He also wrote "Salute to the Great McCarthy" and "Walking Trough Tigerland" if you're looking for a footy nexus.

We need a real development coach similar to Alan Richardson/Brad Scott at the Pies. I have argued this for a while. Collingwood have fast tracked their junior players as well as or better than anyone else because of these blokes. I would like to think that we would go after David Flood (Calder Premiership Coach and former team mate of Bailey's at the Bombers); or if he isn't available perhaps Graeme Yeats (ex Demon who has coached at the Stingrays for the past three years and before that was at Sandringham). Both have good junior development records. I have always rated Flood and I think he would be a good get. The other obvious one would be Chris Scott now that he has retired. Always loved the way he went about it and certainly got the most out of himself.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
