    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 !!

    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.

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
