I was thinking about the game plan the other day and it reminded me exactly of the mighty ducks 3 movie if anyone has seen it.

Those guys were all about attack and then the coach came in to instill a defensive edge. Will be interesting to see how it goes this weekend. Be almost the first chance we can do a bit of our own bailey vs neeld comparison in a way i think.

I can see this game plan working just as it did in the mighty ducks

    Didn't see the movie. Did the Mighty Ducks lose a lot at first?

    Haha so coach Bombay is dean bailey and neeld is the new coach that comes in and shakes things up what you are saying makes a lot of sence. Quack quack quack quack I always wondered if a flying v would work on footy field

    That is freaky... I seriously had the same thought just the other day. Hahaha. That's really really random!

    Coach Bombay = Dean Bailey: Loved by players and allowed players to develop a naturally attacking game plan. Coach Orion = Mark Neeld: Big hard-arse, my way or the highway coaching style. Players learn the finer points of the game, and develop into a hardened unit.

    I clearly watched too much Mighty Ducks as a kid. Haha

    Haha, love it. Mighty Ducks 3, great movie. Coach Orion is Mark Neeld. Hard defensive edge drastically different to the former attacking style (Bombay / Bailey); players don't like it; they rebel; they come around; they win; we're all happy.

    Actually looks a bit like him too!

    Yeah, if Neeld loses by anything less that 186 points he's better than Bailey?

    This weekend will do nothing for us to be able to compare Neeld and Bailey, especially given our most recent trip to Geelong was memorbale for all the wrong reasons.

    Where I will be judging any sign of improvement will be in the effort indicators (or whatever it was that Neeld calls them). If we can keep up the effort that we showed for a majority of the St Kilda game, then yes, maybe our future is looking a lot brighter. If we turn up and put in a shocker, where no different to where we were last year.

    If we get flogged due to a lack of effort, I'll be pi$$ed off. If we get flogged but show the same work rate or more than last week, I'll accept it.

    I'd prefer we didn't lose at all.

    My 1st reaction to reading this was to LOL.

    Now I'm thinking I'll have to watch the Mighty Ducks 3 .

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
