Hi All,

I was there yesterday as I am every week. I am still hurting now and it was really hard to sit there and take it.

The one burning question I have is who under Bailey is a better player now then before he started ?

I can think of one (maybe two if I am being generous) but I would be interested to see what Demonland posters think

    First of all, about 50% of our list has arrived at the club at the the same time or after Bailey did. So the question is moot on those players, not only because they are too young to be judged yet but because they can't be compared to how they played under Danners. In any case, most of these guys have started their careers rather well in Jurrah, Morton, Grimes, Trengove, Scully. For the 20-odd players Bailey has drafted we are doing quite well really with the way they have started

    Also, Macca/Bruce/Green are nearing the end, surely there is no expectation for Bailey to have got anything more out of these players

    So you are left with about 20 players to whom the question applies

    HAVE IMPROVED:

    Jamar, Warnock, Sylvia, Petterd, Frawley, Moloney

    AROUND THE SAME:

    Davey, Miller, Meesen, Newton, Dunn, Bate, Jones, Garland

    GONE BACKWARDS:

    PJ, Rivers, Bell, Bartram, Wonaeamirri

    Now ask yourself this - how many of those blokes that have not improved are actually just spuds for which you would not reasonably expect any coach to get something extra out of? I would say most of them... Miller, Dunn and Newton for example, how could anyone hold Bailey responsible for these guys not improving they are just not up to it and never were

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
