I have just read that Peter Banfield has been named Melbourne's new assistant coach. I don't know much about him but apparantly he was assistant down at StKilda. Do any of you know how he is as a coach?

I don't know much about him as a coach, I think he has been doing it for a number of years, but he was a handy little player for the Bombers in the 80's & so will have an understanding of ND, I think he should be of great assistance to the Dees. Another North Ringwood boy too I might add, go the Saints.
Banfield is an excellent coach in the making. He has done wonders with our reserves side over the past few years, particularly in the area of developing our younger players.
I realise this may sound a little strange, heaping praise on a member of a coaching staff that won 2.5 games for the year. However he is a class act and the only reason he was let go was because of Blight's decision to completely revamp the existing football department.
Most saints fans were very disappointed that he was made to feel like a scapegoat but will be a lot happier now that he has been given a role at the demons.
