i love mark williams! hopefully his experience of blooding good players will rub onto us more better

we are doing really well off season!!

 

This is a great move.

As much as we want a fresh new start, it's good to have some people around who know the players, especially our young players.

Mark Williams has worked with all of our kids at one point or another, and so his input will be invaluable to Bailey.


This is building on our strengths and adding as neccesary.....just brilliant !!

i might faint...not used to such forward thinking by our beloved club !!! lol

Certainly great news mark williams (sandy) is helping to coach the dees. Very valuable. No doubt will be a great asset to bailey

Wow, that is sensational news, we've really struggled through lack of resources in the development area and that is a huge step forward!

I think that makes it:

Football manager: Connolly

Senior coach: Bailey

Assts: P.Williams Mahoney Wellman

Development coaches: M.Williams K.O'Donnell

Recruiting & List management: Cameron

Fwd scout: Prendergast

That's a new and strong looking team for MFC.

Good fortune to Sandy finding a replacement for Mark Williams who has done a superb job there.

 

have we ever had a development coach before??? now we have two lol


What other coaches positions need to be filled? I know we need ruck and is that it?

Excellent news and is a really positive sign from the new MFC coaching regime of sound thought process and good appointments.

As we have noted before Mark Williams is a high quality person and coach as we have seen at close quarters at the Zebs. A great addition and very welcome aboard Mark.

Also luv the idea of getting Brett Lovett to the Zebs as would bring another good coach with Demoin credentials into the fold.

LIKE IT A LOT

Excellent, has done great with the kids at sandy and will still have links to his old club, hopefully with bails they can make the kids shine.

Sandy's loss is our gain, good luck to him in his new role for the MFC.


there is something about al this that really pleases me and genuinely convinces me that this club has finally "GOT IT !! "

In the process of slecting a coach it ( MFC ) obviously saw much talent and upside in a number of the interviewees. Did we just say thanks.. seeya later. NO...where possible it has harvested this enthusiasm and obvious talent and molded a Coaching TEAM

This is clever. it could have very easily gone al lpear shaped but No, the powers that be have convinced these talented and knowlwdgable folk to hang around. To be part of it...even if not quite in a manner they originally perceived. Its THIS that pleases me. Its a clever forward thinking outfit that can do this. When can we genuinely have thoughtthis of our beloved club ? Not for a long long while I'll tell you !!

we now have a developmental side to the buisness.. something only half baked attempted in past. We have a lot LOT more real intel on other footy environs... and they are very successful ones !! what a coup !!.

No matter how pretty the house , if your foundations are crook it wil tumble down. But build sturdy footings and you can do whatever you want.. this is where I now see MFC... We have good foundations.. and some pretty fair building materials on site.

lets get cracking !!! :)

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
