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 !!! :)

    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.
