    Firstly thanks for the links, after sorting out how to recieve them , i watched all 3 speeches Twice each.

    All 3 speeches were inspired. Anyone who does not fully believe in DB's ability should watch his speech VERY CAREFULLY.

    He is a fine operator, i have no doubt.

    2010 is going to be great, i just hope we can score a couple of early wins.

    And supporters roll up to those early games. Show the club and players we have faith in the plan that is being executed.

    His speaking ability or his coaching ability?

    Salient point.

    I hope one is an indication of the other, but to be honest, we've not yet been in a position to find out.

    Inspirational stuff. Everyone clearly 'on the same page', and confident that we are on the right track to deliver.

    I take it that you have a problem with DB?

    If so what is it? & what would you do differently??

    Yes we have. To do what DB has done over the past 2 years takes a lot of Guts and strength of character. You have to give him credit for that,

    he could have easily cracked under the conditions he was given.

    i admit 2010 will give us our first glimpse of his "real" coaching ability but i am betting he has that covered...if his players stand up

    All I'm suggesting is that it's ridiculous to say that people should believe in his coaching ability becuase he gave a good speech.

    Fair Comment, But i still believe after listening to that speech that DB knows exactly what he is doing.

    For that matter so does Cam Schwabb.

    you can be cautious of course, but sometimes you gotta belief the feelings inside ya guts.

    2010 Bring it on.

    the bit at the end where he said there will be a few moments this year we will be proud to be Melbourne members, I think he truly believes it and so do I. I don't think we will get higher than say 10th at best but I'm sure at one or two stages in the year we will upset a highly rated side and make everyone notice. Please be the Pies.

    Our Biggest Problem is going to be in the Ruck.

    As for the rest of the ground, the excuses are over. The Team must go out there and match it with the best.

    No one believed The New Orleans Saints could win the Super Bowl yesterday-but they did it.

    That is the kind of attitude that Bailey and the club must expect from all players.

    New Orleans won their first Grail in 43 years of existance yesterday-Nobody picked them.

    There is one thing going for the MFC right now...We have some good players in our side....& nobody out there rates them

    On the back of a wily old fox as a coach.

    He took some good risks and the players didn't die wondering.

    Thats what i hope DB does. Kevin Sheedy has done very well out of that philosophy.

    I think that's a reason DB wants players to play in multiple positions-keep the opponent 2nd Guessing.

    Agreed. Not only does Bails' plan keep the opposition guessing but creates resilience in our players, to be adaptable, flexible and ready for any challenge thrown at them.

    Wish I could have been there at this year's AGM to see the speeches but unfortunately I have moved interstate.

    Go Dees in 2010!

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
