Steven King is the new Demons coach

[kreuze_missile]

Figjam is gonna hate this.

Hope he is salty on Fox tonight.

Edit - is on Fox. Smug as per normal acting like he is the head coach of a football club without a license.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

Disagree. Pretty sure he wants the club he once captained to win another flag

Yeh probably does. But does he care more for Melb or Geel now?

 

[Scythe]

Jeez my club can make some ****ed decisions and today they made two:

Firstly by appointing King; and

Secondly by allowing him to continue at Geelong.

Amateurs.

I don't really see the problem with either of these things.

Bucks the new Chocko Royale

Get a grip.
You should be and will be happy.
He doesn’t have much he needs to do with us but will see out his time and do it professionally, he is a workaholic.

I have no doubt he is absolutely prepared for what he will do at the Dees.

 

[StillAtLarge]

FWIW I think King will be a fantastic coach, the dees have been crying out for a fresh voice for years and he is extremely well regarded

 

[Gavin Excell]

H-Scum reporting that Bucks has an interview with Tassie next week and told Melbourne he would not give them an answer until after that and then the Dees told Bucks to FO

Sounds like a puff piece to soften the brutality of his rejection

 

[iameviljez]

I love how Geelong is keeping him for the rest of the year like he cares. All he cares about now is Melbourne. He couldn’t give a **** what Geelong do in the finals.

The man is a two time B and F at the club and a former captain. I’d suggest that he cares

 

[Proper Gander]

Only time will tell if this is an astute pick or a complete disaster

It’s gold dust like this that keeps the subscribers coming back for more!

It’s two games?

Fine by me. Let the man finish the work he has been doing this year. If Geelong don’t have a problem, why should we?

 

[PerfectFooty]

Not sure you want a guy that the West Coast rejected

it's okay, i've seen who West Coast accept

Because he is now coach of the MFC. Do the job you were appointed to do. Not party with your previous employer.

 

[Headless]

Only time will tell if this is an astute pick or a complete disaster

Could it possibly be something in between?

 

[Xtreme]

A complete astute disaster ?

 

[Bluelegs]

Genuine question. Have you ever resigned from a job before?

 

[Demon in Hell]

Sure have, 3 times and was immediately, and unceremoniously, shown the door each time.

 

[Headless]

Sure have, 3 times and was immediately, and unceremonaly, shown the door each time.

Sounds like poor culture!

 

[iameviljez]

Because he is now coach of the MFC. Do the job you were appointed to do. Not party with your previous employer.

And you have never given notice to an employer before either?

 

[Demon in Hell]

Sounds like poor culture!

Something the MFC sadly doesn't have.

 

[iameviljez]

Sure have, 3 times and was immediately, and unceremoniously, shown the door each time.

It’s even written into my contract that I have to give four weeks’ notice, and vice versa for being let go.

Your employers were jerks

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Sounds like a puff piece to soften the brutality of his rejection

I'd say it's accurate up to the point of Bucks being told to FO. Why wouldn't he want the chance to present to both teams and potentially have the choice of job that suits him best?

 

[dmc333]

Bucks the new Chocko Royale

LOL would need to miss out on another 10 jobs

 

[Bluelegs]

Something the MFC sadly doesn't have.

Im choosing to believe you are Simon Goodwin.

You have no idea of my occupation, industry or employment conditions.

But go ahead and make ridiculous accusations.

Hang on - are you talking about being sent home on gardening leave, or being sent home no more pay effective immediately?
