The Ox on SEN said Stynes was away on holiday so I dont think it will be anything major.

poor bastard I bet he wishes he had been recruited by Hawthorn 20 years ago.

We sure as hell do not deserve him.

If what I heard on BF is true, then it isn't particularly the decision I wanted.

Nooo Not Choco...His turned our backline into spuds in under a year. He should right behind Bailey and the rest of them

Royal? You're kidding. I'll be throwing my membership out if that happens.

Royal and West come from a club that has won one flag in its history. No offence but I want someone to coach our club that understands winning and won't accept losing.

We may not have the cattle to win a flag but we surely aren't this bad, are we?

Stuff it. It's a cop out if we just sake Baileynwithout true understanding of other factors. It's a way for the board to throw away the truth in my opinion. Let Em all ride it out. what's an incumbent going to do now. [censored] it. Let Em wallow in it, it will make Em stronger in the long run

Robbie the silence is still deafing!

The result is on the board.

The only answer is YES.

Sorry DSM I do not agree.

That is what is wrong with our club.

But what would we know Old Dee we are to old for the modern game we don't have a proper grasp of KPI's and the other [censored] they o on about. We tried to tell them that all was not well but they kept on telling us we had 2% more contested possessions than at the same time last year so all was ok. i don't care about statistics only about how we play and today was the culmination of the lack of leadership, lack of coaching and ideas and lack of talent we have at the club; we can kid ourselves for as long as we want but the truth is we have recruited extremely badly.

I reckon we would have done better if we had the recruiters follow the Phantom Drafts on BigFooty they did a much better job than we did.

It is very interesting what is being said about Brian Royal. When he was appointed I expressed my concerns with him being a backline coach. Result being I was right royally attacked by idiots that post on this site. Well I can say today I was well and truly vindicated by my concerns. Today did we have a backline?

Dean Bailey should go now with the rest to follow at the end of the season. The only one I would keep is Todd Viney.

What I do not understand is that "Jack Hill the blind coal miner from Wonthaggi" could see that Bailey was not getting anywhere with players all year. Yes we won games against lower sides but when it counted the players went off the boil. The fact we played like girls (today for example, except for Jordie McKenzie) is probably the biggest indicator that Bailey had lost the players.

In fact the whole FOOTBALL DEPARTMENT should have the blow touch applied to every position.

The only way the members can get positive change is by letting the club know how we feel. Today we went backwards so far that we should be sent to the VFL reserves level.

If the board is fair dinkum they should call a crisis meeting and make the ruthlessly hard decisions.

I have been a Melbourne person since the 1950's and it feels as though a bit of me died today. We should not just rollover and accept this sort of rubbish. A look at history should tell us that we have been there before and we have come back and won premierships.

Many a time, in so many different circumstances, has a deep and entrenched problem caused a change at the top, or some seemingly major reform, only to later discover that the actual problem was never truly beaten and it all has to be done again.

About every four years, at Richmond.

We need to see a committment from the club to a major overhaul of the footy department. An all-out effort to get the top available people into a number of relevant positions, and to accept that even 'nice guys' doing an 'ok job' will have to make way for that.

It must be the next 'grand step' in this magical Red&Blueprint - a major, major investment in football department. And not in numbers so much as quality people. Best in the business or why bother?

I agree. It's the same with any business. Quality people are everything.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
