    Anyone remember the game where Chopper bagged 9 majors against the hapless Tigers?

    Congrats to him if this news is true...

    Congrats on the appointment Andy.

    I am not aware of your coaching qualifications and experience but the fact that you have played in the red and blue seems enough for some.

    Given the progressive clean out of NQR MFC players over the past two years who dominated at VFL level but could not do so at AFL level suggests that Sandy will find the going tougher in 2008 than in the recent golden years. Together with the aging of mainstays like Liddell, Gallagher and Sautner its going to be tougher.

    Good luck.

    Also like this a lot. Potentially gr8 combination with the MFC coaching group given another former Demon. Welcome back Andy.

    Can't wait for Allen Jackovich to come back as our fitness coach.

    think you will find was a major reason for bomber thompson's unhappiness in seeing Any Lovell get sacked last year.

    Has he also not been involved with West Coast at some level?

    So he will also have a role with the demons I am assuming similar to mark williams...

    always good to see a favourite son return to the club that he served so well - he was a dead eye dick in front of goal!!

    Lets hope that he brings some of the 'muscle gain' experience he was exposed to at the Eagles - After a single pre-season over there his arms tripled in size.

    Parden the pun but strong arm tactics may be just the thing to secure the future of MelbourneFC

    Yes. It would appear that the culture that has hit fan at the WCE has been with them for longer than we think.

    Thompson was still devastated in 2007 and it completely upset his plans for that year from which they never recovered! :lol:

    Careful, we may yet see Woey on the fitness team :o

    THAT would be a an interesting turn-up. I believe he's got a coaching appointment in the WAFL for a year or two, but it could be fun having him around. I wouldn't know personally, but his reputation is that he was first-class in his commitment and professionalism to training.

    Now, just clearing something up, is it Anthony Lovell or Andy Lovell?

    I've found an Anthony Lovell who played just over 100 games for us from 88 to 95, then moved to WC for three years. Jumper number 16 at Melbourne.

    Is that the guy?

    (interesting side note, statistically his two best games out of about 40 for WC were both against Melbourne)

    Some details from Sandys website

    Andy Lovell appointed Sandringham FC Senior Coach for the 2008/2009 seasons. He played 121 senior games with Melbourne (1985-95) before playing 43 senior games with the West Coast Eagles (1996-98). Was an Assistant Coach (Midfield) at the Geelong Football Club (2005-06), Senior Coach of East Perth Football Club (2003-04), Player Welfare and Development Manager at the West Coast Eagles (2000-02) and Assistant Coach at the West Coast Eagles (1999).

    I presume there is a reasonable living to be had coaching at this level?? What's a ballpark figure for a VFL coach?

    I'll guess $70,000-90,000 Pa.

    Not too low so they can attract some quality

    Not too high because there would be no way a suburban club could afford to pay a coach triple figures.

    Wow, three coaches in one. I'm impressed.

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    I like his resume, he might cringe at 'Player Welfare and Development at West Coast' but it would seem to be before the present 'era'. Still a valuable aspect for a Sandy coach.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
