Re: Assistant Coaches

Well, here we are now, half serious.

AFEL/AAP reporting McQualter expected to be announced as joining Melbourne FC.

Thought it was already announced as done.

You'd over to know what's actually going on down at the club. Someone check if the lights are still on.

Interesting. He played under Bevo for a couple of years.
Had the pleasure of spending some time with Jed one night at a function....he's a serious but lovely guy.
I remember talking to him and my wife came over and I introduced him and she said oh what do you do?
I said... Um he was the captain of the Brisbane Lions ha.

As a kid I went up to Danny Southern for an autograph. He obliged and asked if I wanted “Shane’s too” (sitting next to him). A guy in a bulldogs polo like his. I said “who’s Shane?”. Danny started laughing, and said “Shane Ellen, he plays for the doggies too”. I said “ok” still having no idea. His got the last laugh kicking 5 in a premiership. Still have it somewhere.

Re: Assistant Coaches

If so? what has happened to Bevo? I was thinking, watching Craig Macrae, how much he reminded me of Bevo?s first few years and the inclusive, empathy focused approach. I know he has become paranoid re media, but has his working style changed so much?

Its funny, when you are fresh in a job and there are no expectations (or expectations are low), its easy to be bright eyed bullish and ready to take on the world.

Its only years later after you fail that you understand the consequences of risk and the amount that you don't actually control. Its funny I watched Macrae and thought wow, that was Bevo in 2016, confident, boyant, positive etc. My next thought is what will Macrae look like in 12 months time when the Magpie army's expectation of success goes into overdrive.

Success breeds success, but it also breeds expectation and unfulfilled expectation leads to disappointment and eventually discontent.

Hey Danny - good to hear from you mate welcome Don't by shy contribute away!

Are you concerned re no coach signings so far? Hmm yeah there is a bit of nothingness coming out, but maybe like the Naughton surprise we are just good at keeping our cards close now that Hunter is gone

Always liked him as a player.

Re: Assistant Coaches

Any mention at the Best and Fariest when we are likely to make announcements?

Did Bevo hint in his speech that Edge could be an option as an afl assistant and also we are looking internally to replace Matt Innes?

Bevo seemed to confirm Martin is leaving and we want him to stay.

No mention, wants to convince Martin to stay and supported someone under Innes for the role. Wouldn't take that as being what Grant/Baines want though since he obviously wanted Smith to stay
