I'll settle for a coach that doesn't have favourites and has an attacking approach to each game.

100%. Also somebody that's not afraid to swing the magnets around for a Plan B to Plan Z if Plan A goes awry.
 
Good news for us, should have the pick of the bunch (provided they want to coach us, of course).

Premiership coaches among 10 vying for Demons job

A 'big four' has emerged

Sounds like there's a bunch of succession plans in the works but I just got to ask, is that picture of Enright from when the Dees beat the Cats in his 300th game? Wouldn't it be so funny if he then became our coach!

Toumpas and Lamumba are in the background of the picture and they only played together against Geelong in Enright's 300th game loss.

How did that Demons team get up? Toumpas, Aidan Riley, Roh Bail, Chris Dawes, Pencil Spencer, Billy Stretch.


Reminds me a bit of when Melbourne beat West Coast in Perth in the 1998 with Mark Bradly at Full Forward and a host of other pretty forgettable players.

Back on topic - I like Buckley.

Interesting to see that Troy Pannell was the umpire. Not saying that had anything to do with the result, of course! It probably had more to do with Bernie Vince getting 38 & 2.

But yeah... Buckley would be good.

Buckley being a solid media performer is pretty attractive to me, we don't have the "diehard" base of supporters (lost what, 15k members recently?), we also aren't as attractive to sponsors, being able to "sell" the club is pretty important imo.

Might just be personal bias I fall asleep when Horse talks.

David King talks absolute shit but he mentioned Craig Jennings as someone we should go after so I'm willing to forgive him and I'm now a fan.

I'm willing to tolerate King, I'm not going as far as you. But it is the most sensible thing King has said all year. Bring back Jennings! #JusticeforJennings

Alright, looks like there's a consensus.

Welcome to Melbourne Nathan Buckley!

Yeah. Buckley was one kick away from a flag. People need to stop with the binary flag=good, no flags=shit.

The things I like about Buckley is that he is a very strong character, has an excellent footy brain, has high expectations, craves success and has essentially taken a side from the top and rebuilt it into a threat.

The question marks I have on him is that he couldn’t get it done at a far better resourced club than ours, so how does he fare with our shitshow. But you may as well lump any other experienced coach available into that basket too.

Another plus is he seems genuine in his quest to improve on his flaws as a coach during his first stint. He was probably thrown into coaching too quickly, he's still relatively young.

I don't know if he would work out and we may be better off going after a "next gen" assistant but I have a good feeling about Buckley for some reason.
 
People can point out Buckley's flaws and I get that to an extent, but then when they say give me unnamed assistant it's a piss take because they're just using the mystery box fallacy of something unknown must be better and exciting
