Who can we get in?

Ok, I've got the wrists bandaged and starting to think constructively...

Who can we get down to the club this week and in the coming weeks to talk to, train, instruct the players and/or coaches?

From what I've heard today, my votes would be for The Ox and The Duck.

Ox was shattered today, and seems to relate to some of the senior guys and understand what they're doing right/wrong. Made some points on Jamar and Frawley that were spot on. I know he gave a speech recently, but would love to get him down to the club more regularly as someone who can inspire and create passion for the club as clearly Neeld fails on that front.

Duck gave us an old fashioned spray, but also gave us some old school ideas about how to go about the week coming. Not only does he understand about real footy toughness, but he is a guy that gets respect from his presence not from his words (unlike Neeld).

They're my thoughts on "consultants" we could get in, what do you guys think? Who else that is available would be helpful?

    I do not like the idea of exposing Carey to our younger players.

    Yeah, look I really hate him as a person, but football wise he could be valuable to us.

    I see your point. Sadly I think he cannot separate the two.

    Hmmm...

    I think Carey is a damaged brand and may not really command the respect that he thinks he has.

    He does make some outlandish comments on the wireless and has written quite a few sensationalist articles on Franklin going to GWS and the Pies

    'should've' let Cloke walk. The latter is so wrong, it's not funny as Cloke monstored North today and Franklin won't leave.

    Having said that, someone like Ling? or Lloyd? or Cam Mooney? Guys that are not long retired and still have a link with the modern game?

    stuie, what about wholesale changes and getting rid of peahearts and duds? Blokes you mentioned in another thread?

    I'm up for anything and everything! Changes, outside "coaches"... any type of alternative that may turn us around. It's desperate times.

    I agree.

    My wrists are bandaged too, and I've stopped bleeding....list changes must continue.

    The frustrating part is that a lot of those changes will be guys we brought in this year...

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
