Richmond - who were bottom 2 in 09/10

Essendon - who's coach was a dead man walking at the time.

Which means that 12 of his 18 wins have come at the MCG against interstate teams in which we have a distinct advantage.

Which means that he has a 4-41 record against Vic clubs and continually fails the same tests over and over.

Not good figures when your contract is due to expire.

I think that this year is seeing a magnifying of his coaching stats. Even teams that have been rebuilding don't have as damning statistics. He is in trouble. And the next month's schedule doesn't help. He should start looking for another job.

So is our Captain.

Let's not read into it too much, how many of these teams have been top 8 since he started coaching? Geelong, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Western Bulldogs and Carlton. Realistically, the only team that the MFC should have beaten, but haven't beaten that they should have is North Melbourne.

how is it we played Collingwood twice and almost won both times last year ?

well that was last year, this is this year and we won't get anywhere near them in a few weeks time>

I think you need to be as well as be a good coach you need plenty of luck and DB has none !! He is snake bit, bad kama!!!

I really do believe the loss of Sean Wellman has left a huge hole !!

There is no self-awareness here at all.

If you quietly wished Jordan McMahon to kick that goal, you cannot throw Bailey's win/loss record back at him.

We tanked/experimented/whatever-you-want-to-call-it and it was gooooood!

His win/loss record is meaningless and to bring it up is pointless.

True to a point. Yes we all wanted the draft picks but to be honest we weren't good enough to win. Early in the year we were clearly trying to win as many games as possible but we weren't good enough to. Later in the year with some creative team selection we negated the slim chance we might have had in some games. But there must be a time where you start examinig the succees/failure of the coach/team. If we all agreed that last year we were trying every week and that this year is the same then we should look at the stats for that period and the remaining games this year. Surely they will have some relevance to whether he is reappointed. I know it is not the only factor to be considered but it will come into the equation along with gameplan, player development, fitness, attitude etc.

The point is: will his record against Vic teams improve, now that we've stopped tanking (we have stopped tanking, haven't we?)

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
