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.

So long as he played in the red and blue. ..:rolleyes:

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)

Andy Lovell and Anthony Lovell are one and the same person.

Anthony (ANDY) Lovell played for the demons between 1988-95. Played 121 games and kicked 146 goals....also played for West Coast.

Goodluck Andy in your new coaching position at Sandy :lol: :lol:

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 6th December 2024

    Some veteran Demonland Trackwatchers ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you the following observations from another Preseason Training Session. WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    TRAINING: Wednesday 5th December 2024

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
