    Loved Robbo show of passion to the members after the game.

    As he ran past the bench to join his teammates, he clapped us members and grabbed his jumper as if to say "show you're proud to wear red & blue"

    I thought it was great. He was great.

    As for the article, good on him for showing support for the coach. It doesn't mean much though, because as he said, the board will make a rational decision, not an emotional one.

    Can anyone tell me the last time an AFL team came out in the press halfway through a season and canned their Coach?

    I'll have a go. Why was Bruce played out of the goal square when the guy can't kick for goal to save himself?

    Why wasn't Leon Davis tagged heavily at stop plays in their attacking 50?

    Just two observations. I hate it when Danners goes and gets us all believing again. This has happened too many times. I think the bloke is one of the nicer coaches going around, probably the nicest one, which is one of his biggest flaws (as a coach, not as a person). As a team, we're too nice and have been throughout his tenure at the helm. The fact that we can get on big winning streaks is more an indication of the talent we have on our list than any masterful coaching by The Rev. The fact that they can't do it week in week out probably has a lot to do with the coach not being able to get the team to play consistently good football. We've probably seen a solid 4 quarter effort from the Demons once or twice a season for the past 10. That's not good enough unfortunately.

    I think he needs to go at the end of this season.

    wow so because our 'best' player is played in a different position the coach is to blame, and becuase one out of the oposition 22 gets away it is the coach's fualt, not because one of the dees players who were given the job could not man him properly. if every player of every week could be kept under raps it would be a very boring league, davis was rubbish by the way and even when he was effectual it did not cost us, so why should daniher go?

  • Quote

    im not a Danners boy by a long shot, but he seemed a littel more inventive and proactive ( as opposed to REACTIVE ) today. That was good.. calll a spade a spade..it was good. Where possible the ball moved through the corridor...if an instruction..that was good. We returned to a huddle at kick ins...that worked...that was good.

    Some good was done today !! :-) time will tell.

    still not convinced.. but a damn site happier :-)

  • Quote

    agree im not the biggest fan, but his coaching v the pies was pro active, bruce to the square was a good move as it dragged swan or h shaw to the goal square too and they werent willing to risk running off bruce too often cos they knew he would hurt them on the rebound, well he would have if his kicking was better yesterday :(

    Absolutely right. The only players that do bag coaches mid season are the troublemakers you don't want at the club anyway. The ones who don't like him will shut up until the next one is appointed.

    I still don't think he'll be coaching us next year but happy to savour the win for the moment.

    I support Neale 110% too.

    I reckon they'll give him another 2 years

    Interesting article just popped up on the mfc website............

    http://melbournefc.com.au/Season2007/News/...px?newsId=44866

    so much for all of you who say Mr Daniher doesn't have the respect of the team!

    You can tell that the players love him. I reckon almost every senior player has come out and said don't blame the coach. After the game when Danners waited for them to come off they all ran up and hugged him and patted him on the back and stuff. You can tell that they really want to win for him. It will be interesting to see what they do.

    Thought Neales coaching yesterday was brilliant

    Expecially his use of PJ

    He's changed the directive to the players re the gameplan in the last two weeks.

    I have significantly less issues with him now because of that.

    However I'm still not convinced he's the right man going forward.

    That said, he was excellent yesterday. Only thing I would have done different is tagged Ben Johnson - from the first five minutes it was clear he was going to be a problem.

  • Quote

    a littel ironic ... some of us here have been wanting the two tall to stay on where poss and rotate through the forward line resting. lo and behold exactly as yesterday.. worked a treat. Wont work all th etime I realise, but twhen you can stretch the defence doing it and maintian some clearances, why wouldnt you !!

  • Quote

    The Rev is back and stepped it up a notch. Was so god damned happy to see how much better our kick ins were, didnt have to grip the seat every time. Welcome back huddle it worked this year and its back working again lets stick with it! Everyone get behind the REV!

  • Quote

    I was happy we beat the filth. I was also happy for ND because I reckon he did a lot for the club on & off the field since he's been here. But I will wait to see how the 2nd half of the season unfolds before I really feel whether he is the right bloke for us.

    At the moment - I'm happy :-)

    The players are the last people who should be in control of who coaches a team, this happened at St.Kilda a couple of yars ago and it nearly did them in.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
