The "any number" was simply a reference to the the mount of rumours circling a coaching appointment. But I suppose it could reference any number of things !! :)

    You know we have a game on Sunday does anyone care?

    For the seventh year in a row August's only attraction is who is the coach and what draft picks will we get.

    Pretty much over this crap.

    First time in a long time, in the aftermath of a game, that I've we've been well coached strategically. And what McKenzie has been doing languishing at Casey and playing as a defensive wingman, for god's sake, is anyone's guess.

    Not sure about the well coached strategically. Certainly an improvement and some flexibility but watts in defence in last quarter when suns kicked around him and we needed someone to finish in the front end was an obvious fail.

    On the other hand the treatment on Ablett rotations and constant niggling by all players was a master coaching tactic.

    At least and at last some positive signs

    Could be an interesting night Redleg

    Asking constantly while all the time we get worse on the field might be starting to wear a little thin with people who have given a lot in the past.

    Perhaps the new President announced tonight?

    Always wanted to go to Liverpool but on the two occasions I was in England could never convince my wife to visit.

    May be I been under my lilly pad for too long but surely there been some good players who have been shafted by the Club lately?

    My suggestions would be B Green, Robbo, J MacDonald, A Yze, C Bruce, J Rivers, B McLean, B Molony to name a few.

    It really depends on how you define "shafted". All players reach a time when they have to move or be moved on. James McDonald had reached that stage a few years ago at the age of 33. Problem was the situation was badly handled by the coach and the football department. Perhaps it was this that ultimately sowed the seeds of discontent that came to a head with 186.

    Robbo spoke at last night's Foundation Dinner and while he conceded he was upset when told it was the end for him, he recognised that the time had come.

    I don't think many of the above names were really "shafted" but some, like Moloney, played a part in their demise.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
