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.

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...

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
