Walking without $1 million would affect my health a lot more.

Richmond board facing 'bloodless' coup by prominent Tigers backers Popcorn and a comfy chair ...

Personally, I think we should drop the discussion about cancer, stress and Dean Bailey. The discussion is unedifying, unhelpful and irrelevant to the topic.

I will never forget hearing a mate tell me about the bus ride back from Adelaide after week 1 of the finals in 2014.

Their fans continue to think they're part of something special.  

I think reality has started to hit most of them now

Most but not all.... Still have some Tiger friends acquaintances who believe their list is still in good shape, and that if they brought in a new coach and new game plan, they would be back playing finals.

I know that those in glass house shouldn't throw stones, and we have been a basket case forever, but there is nothing funnier than the 5 yearly Richmond coup.  Twice a decade, without fail they tear the place down and start over.  

While we might be the tragedy of the AFL, the Tigers are the comedy act.

Rather ineffective "coup" if there is all this publicity before it happens. Arnt coups meant to happen quietly in the background before bang! swift and painfull!

That's just what my Richmond mate said to me!!

they really don't get it. That was a 186 effort from the players last weekend. 

Hardwick has to walk if he has any brains

He has a contract for $1+million in hand.

Would you walk?

An honorable man would... but then again, Hardwick does not have this quality..  History has shown that once you fail as an AFL Head Coach, then you are thrown on the scrap heap.

That is a scarce commodity in the AFL these days SPC.

I would be saying to Richmond "I have a a two year contract and will coach next year, you want me out you pay $1million"

He won't walk, Richmond will continue with him and waste another season.. My only hope is, that we play them twice next year!!

I know nearly all involved in the pub meeting. Nothing will happen. Sadly.

There might be an exception - did Tim Watson quit St Kilda without a payout?

Apart from that possible exception, though, I agree with you.

Did Watson walk with nothing?

Fascinating if he did, coz he aint short of $$$'s lives in Elwood.

Um, no it wasn't.

Health reasons yes i would. 

It took Bails

I doubt that very much.

And sorry, are you saying that coaching a bad team killed Dean Bailey? Just want to be clear.

Come on. Honour has absolutely nothing to do with it.

This is the response that every single one of us would give.

I am saying the stress of the whole episode would have contributed to his Cancer...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
