    That photo is just sad to look at.

    Partly because most of the boys in it never reached their potential. Those that did become half respectable moved on to other clubs.

    Mostly it's sad because of Bails. We hung him out to dry in 2011 and he would pass on nearly two years later. It's a real tragedy that he went through as much crap as he did in his final years but a testament to him that he refused to die bitter.

    Always loved Bailey. Victim of circumstances. 

    He could coach. Just had a bad team full of softies and primadonnas

    And they were just the clowns onfield.
    Never stood a chance when the goons in head office started white anting him.

    Should have chosen Sheedy.

    This thread, despite its uplifting title, seems to be regurgitating past pain for no apparent benefit.

    last night, I was channel surfing in bed and came across a Ch44 show called That’s good for footy, or something similar. Low budget weekly show with 2 AFL guest players doing Q&A (really good). Last nights show had Maxy and Jesse on. They were great club ambassadors, only two questions stuck but I thought I’d share:

    1. What do you think when you see a kid at the footy wearing a jersey with your number on their back?

    Max: That we’ve got great club history and Jimmy Stynes is well remembered

    Jesse: I feel sorry for the kid whose dad couldn’t afford to get the extra 1 to put on the jumper

    2. What’s the one word that comes to mind when you think of in playing for Melbourne?

    Max: Honour (emphasised the club history, oldest club etc)

    Jesse: Privileged 

    Listening to this show, it dawned on me that these guys are starting to see themselves as a unit creating a modern legacy.

    Jesse showing a funny side. Nice to see....taking lessons from Max? Thanks SBF.

    A little part of me wonders how these guys would have turned out with the current coaching team. Were most of them spuds or did the club fail them. Probably a combination.

    Probably not much better.

    Grimes might still be around.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
