Melbourne Appoint Unknown Coach:
Melbourne has today appointed the previously unknown Lachlan Smith as it's head coach for the upcoming season. Most supporters were confused about the appointment but feel that a fresh face on the coaching landscape could be just what was needed for the ailing club.
When asked about what he plans to bring to the Demons, Smith gave a simple, but powerful response.
"We are a young club who has had a rough few years. I believe we have the talent on the list to push us up the ladder in a few years time, but we need to focus all our energy on improving, not just on the field, but off it as well. This is going to take hard work, dedication and perseverance in order to make it happen, and as such, I expect 110% from every player on the list from the senior players to the rookies. No spot is safe, and if you aren't prepared to buy into improving the club as whole, you will soon find yourself out of the door for someone who will."
