Bartlett was a Failed Coach at Richmond who knows not what it takes to mold a team into a premiership winning combination!. Ralphy has no "Football" pedigree that I'm aware of!

Opinions are like Bum holes, everyone has one!

Bartlett also held a grudge for years whinging about the fact that he would never return to the club as long as those who sacked him were still there!

A loser's mentality if ever there was one.

If people want to agree with Kev and Ralphy's Gloom and Doom, then that's Fine!

I am tipping the DEES to be the Monster improvers this year!

    KB will be at family day shaking his head and swallowing balls.

    At least he is still working.

    Considering the only radio stations SEN is beating in the ratings are News Radio and ABC Classic FM they might want to revisit their strategy of throwing tripe at the wall and hoping somebody shows an interest. Mind you KB's shift is the only one that went up so WTF do I know.

    Well...KB certainly has his finger on the pulse so i guess we are stuffed.

    He's a ripper.

    what KB and Denham have ever said about us has actually been true. If you don't like the "tough word" on some home truths then you are delusional.

    We were rubbish, and still pretty much are. Better, yes, but still mostly rubbish.

    Suck it up and be a realist.

    At least they haven't got Andy Maher in that time slot. His whining voice just turns off my radio.

    I had thought the Lions were a basket case not that long ago.

    Now I have them firmly in the eight and definitely on the rise.

    Things can change quite quickly in this competition - particularly when a club has a CEO like PJ and a coaching staff consisting of the likes of Roos, McCartney and Goodwin.

    As to free agency - pick 3 for Frawley was to my mind very adequate compensation.

    Carlton and Essendon no longer seem to be the powerhouses they have traditionally been either.

    Brisbane have an awesome midfield and that alone will probably get them 8-10 wins for the season, but they have Josh Green, Merrett and Luke Mcquane up forward and they went after Beams instead of going for someone to replace Brown.

    Stole the words out of my mouth!

    Some seriously delusional supporters on here. You have summed it up best for me.

    This was Johnny Ralph not Denham. However I suspect Denham has a special spot for MFC just because he is so critical and knows so much detail about us. Today on SEN he said he was off to lunch with Roos and talked in detail about how we are finally on the right track. He may be so critical because he has some interest.

    i was speaking of Denham in the past, as those two (kb and denham) are usually paired. Some people round here like to live in "pretend" land where we are not one of the crappest modern football teams in the world, take the hyperbolic training reports/hype of the previous 5 years for example (there are other examples too).

    Have said this many times before, the negativity we have copped from the journos over the years has been harsh, brutal, unrelenting but rarely wrong and quite deserved. Get in the real world, suck it up and accept it and move on, because we have deserved/ still deserve everything we get until we start winning games and making good of field decisions (which I feel we are starting to do).

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
