I was just wondering who we could add to the Melbourne Demons coaching staff to help us next year in 2023? I definitely think Simon Goodwin would like to improve our line coaches. I know a lot will depend if Adem Yze ends up getting the Essendon coaching job or (hopefully) stays with us. Nevertheless, I think the Melbourne Demons should definitely look to consider pursuing Ben Rutten and Nathan Buckley. I do not like to compare with other clubs. But if you look at Collingwood they definitely improved their coaching staff for 2022. They brought in Brendon Bolton and Justin Leppitsch who have definitely helped Craig McCrae in his first year as senior coach at the Magpies. Obviously we still have Mark "Choco" Williams who has been absolutely fantastic for us. As has Adem Yze in supporting Simon Goodwin. We also shouldn't forget the efforts made by Troy Chaplin and Greg Stafford. Not to mention the Casey Demons VFL coach Mark Corrigan. Alan Richardson does a brilliant job as Football Manager and I am sure Sam Radford contributes immensely too. Nevertheless, I just would like to see improvements made for our forward line connection and if we can bring some more talented coaches in to help improve team performance then that would definitely make a difference. I also still think we need a proper goal kicking coach at the Melbourne Football Club. Anyway, please let me know your thoughts on whether or not we should consider pursuing Ben Rutten and Nathan Buckley to join our coaching staff at the Melbourne Football Club? I think anything we can do to help us improve for season 2023 needs to at least be considered.
