On a side note, has anyone heard anything about our new logo? I know the club had hired a graphic designer to. Work on this. The current department hate the cluttered shield which is a nightmare for embroiders and apparel purposes. I think we will see a new demon

    Agree entirely with the OP.

    This is an issue (obviously a minor one) that I have had concerns about as well.

    All other major sports around the world have their coaches suited up. Our coaches have become billboards.

    While I completely understand the need to maximize sponsorship return on investment, there's got to be a line somewhere. If it's good enough for the NBA or premier league to have their coaches/managers in suits why can't we?

    Coaches should wear suits at games - polo shirts look cheap and kitsch. Discuss

    I really just want to see Roosy and Goody recreate this photo one day.

    Sure and we should go back to listening to the wireless as tv does not exist and all have parted hair.

    Bring back the good ol days.

    The parted hair part is true.

    Hi all,

    Couldn't agree more pitchfork. The current attire of sports coaches in Australia is one on my pet hates. Neil Balme's coaching team pretty much all wore suits - light brown in colour I seem to recall.

    I appreciate there are people with other valid opinions on this topic. And I hear the arguments for the current attire. For example, clothing is irrelevant, it's the modern era, sponsor bang-for-buck are some examples. But suits – certainly a collar and tie – communicate so much. The research is pretty definitive on this topic. People who dress authoritatively carry authority before they have even opened their mouthes. Dress communicates so much sub-consciously. It’s why there is a certain dress standard in our courts system for example. Conversely, it’s why detainees in our gaols are given plain dress. Dress communicates hierarchy.

    I remember when Ron Barassi went up to Sydney to sort out that rabble in 1993. At the time, they were at least as bad as we are now – possibly even worse. Brasso changed from an open neck and slacks to collar, tie and suit. I also recall his utter dismay when telling a story about his first week in Sydney. He said the administrators – and some of the players – did not know the names of the boot-studders. He was shocked. He said his first job was to restore some self-respect, discipline and standards. I would be surprised if a suit was not part of that message.

    As always, interested in all other opinions.

    S&S

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
