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.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
