McLardy moved to placate growing unrest among members with a letter to the Demons faithful assuring them the club was heading in the right direction.

(Reassuring to know we're heading in "the right direction" according to McLardy)

Neeld, Sept 2011:

''I simply want to coach the team that is the hardest to play against in the AFL. That means all over the ground, we're going to be the hardest to play against. That's what our aim is, as simple as that."

Schwarz:

''The last time I saw something like that was down at Geelong last year [when the Demons lost by 186 points]. Players didn't have a dip and, again on Saturday, we saw the same thing where players decided not to go the contest.''

Kennelly:

''I just can't get away from the Melbourne perspective that there was absolutely no fight whatsoever. There was no gut, no drive, no passion in your performance.

''As a footballer, you want to get respect from the AFL community. Melbourne is losing so much respect with what's happening.''

    Very damning especially those from an outsider, Kenelly, and Schwarz, neither of whom would know how to be on the arena without giving their all. Two highly respected players saying that SHOULD shame our guys into action: I emphasise should though one has to wonder with these poor pansies ( a FEW exceptions noted).

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
