Nathan Jones joins MFC as an Assistant Coach
IRW replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
I recall making that observation re Jones back in my Ology days. Kicking and always something each year..it rarely got acknowledged. He also tried to carry the whole team on his back for a few seasons there. Tried a bit too hard sometimes I thought. There were stories of tension with Jack Viney in the change room and he's no commentator But still.. You have to love a footballer who surfs rather than plays golf though....hmm that might be a lead to follow up next next year. I 'm surprised that Nathan came back on board given the Club seemingly begrudged 300 games, made sure he didn't overtake Neeta ( who they gifted a whole season to) and then the coach who couldn't find him a spot on the best 22 on G/F day. Geez, they only had to beat the rabble that is "foot as grey" which is like beating Ivan Lendl at Wimbledon. He may put a bit of ginger in the group..can't be bad thing , but not likely to put them in the finals -
Well one of those picks wasn't a trade it because of a lousy ladder placement. Still two first rounders and a ruck who hopefully won't get a game along with failing to get any targets to come across really just shows how weak MFC 's appeal is. This was about as good as could be expected

I want to see Riv in that starting bounce Trac can please himself....oh that's right, he does

Certainly arnt and never really were. Almost a destination Club for about 2 seasons until it was discovered that the sales pitch was sleight of hand marketing, no fan base .facilities or off field management. The word got around when the two mega wage earners wanted out, draft picks left and heart and soul players remembered they families elsewhere

Andrew McQualter - Appointed coach of the West Coast Eagles

That's how MFC ended up with Goodwin -
Wow

There's aother instinctive way to analyse coaches players and teams How much do opposition supporters hate opposition players teams and coaches ? I suggest that no one really cares about any of those aspects of MFC. They're considered about as bland and irrelevant as the Dogs. Two exceptions. One Dog and one Demon ...but even they arnt " hated"

Jack Darling for two years ?
-
So you're saying a new head coach bringing a new team with him?
-
It was just his place in the highest earners list. Plenty of pretty ordinary "champions"( they're all very good of course) getting 200 grand more than Jack.

Viney especially and Gawn are underpaid .Which says as much about the others as it does them , because they are on a fair whack for a basically expanded suburban sports contest that no one outside of Australia gives a toss about
