Got this from bigfooty.. 

Jay Clark on MMM said that Burgess is planning the most brutal fitness pre season ever for the melbourne blokes, apparently the club wants to find out who's serious.
 
Watch half our list sook and complain to Paul Marsh because our pre season is way too hard.

Another trip to the PLayers Association for these millenial lightweights

    “That was a meaningless performance and they have little to no identity as a football team. I cannot think less of them this morning after last night.”

    Brereton pinpointed an exact moment that highlighted the issues at the Demons.

    “There was a situation last night where Melbourne had banked up against their own inside 50 ball. So their backmen have pressed up," he said.

    “The ball got rebounded. The closest Melbourne midfielder to the chase, the ball got to the wing, the closest Melbourne player to chase chased for five metres and peeled off. This is in the first half, there’s still a half to go.

    “He peeled off the chase and then tapered down the sprint to the interchange bench. He actually disguised that he wasn’t going to chase by taking himself off in a rotation.

    “When I saw that, I replayed it several times to make sure I didn’t see something incorrectly.”

    I wouldn’t mind Brereton working for the MFC in the Football Department

    Family member played at Hawthorn, Kennedys Cammando era. Those guys were tough and fit. One pre season and you were in top shape. No water during training. That was considered p... weak. Players drove the fitness as much as the Coach. What I would have given to throw $$$ at a Joel Selwood rather than Lever.

    I honestly think this is why Lewis won’t go around another year. 

    And why ANB and Stretch will be captain next year.

    Same but having too much fun in the media and unfortunately he would now see us as a poison chalice i think.

    The recovery has to come from the current coaching group or a new assistant from here or bust IMO.  Who of any substance would come to this joint now on AFL competitive coin SW unless they're being paid massive overs that we don't have the budget for?

    The Recovery has to come from people who know what they are doing, and who are prepared to stick it out until a “Culture” emerges

    nobody in in the current coaching ranks or anyone presently within the MFC have a clue. That is painfully obvious.

    Last night took us back to 2009-13. Players didn’t want the ball, our Captains were non existent fluff and the Members didn’t turn up, we knew it was going to happen. 

    Pert needs to find new people this Summer in the FD or else this Club is seriously close to folding for good

    Yes i heard Dermott ‘s comments at the top of the show. 

    That is how people outside the club perceive us. We are nothing...

    We ARE nothing. Its not a perception. We have no  working game plan, no really electrifying  talent, no pace, no team spirit anymore,  no home base,  and precious few supporters. We're crappola. I dont know why they keep us in the competition...we continue to embaress ourselves year after year. With the just the odd year every decade or so where we dont.

    And it is about time The Board of the MFC realized this and actually did something about it. 

    For us to share the same name as the nations fastest growing city, and to be such a nothing club is beyond comprehension. 

    This is why i wait for this years AGM. 

    I think 99% of Members have reached that Tipping point. 

    It is time to be angry at those in charge and demand serious change, while we can

    At least 3 years is a minimum requirement, hopefully 5 years

    4.9 years is his longest stint otherwise 2.5 - 3 years has been his stints. I think 3 years would do us.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
