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.

I thought the players supported Thomas who was sacked last year, after playing in the finals for the last three years.

The board appointed Lyon and look where they are at the moment, its the worst they have played in a long time.

The players have to respect and want to play for the coach, and the melbourne side does.

    Don't see your logic. Melbourne beat St Kilda in the first final last year and are now two games and percentage below them.

    How does your argument work? :unsure:

    We lost 9 in a row because of early crippling injuries that then unbalanced the side completely. Look at Moloney who is now injured because of over work to compensate. We are in much better shape than st.kilda. Demons will win far more games than lose in the second half of season-That said i still believe every player is on notice, Perform or out-we must play tough

    Look at St Kilda now clearly the players do not support the coach and their season is going as bad as ours and they havent had any way near as many injuries as us. Rash decision to fire Thomas has resulted in pain and that will be us if we lose the Rev

    That's not what I was referring to, if you go back to the Stan Alves/Malcom Blight days you'll find the players had a big say in who was fired and hired as coach.

    That's just plain wrong, St.Kilda are in this position because of injuries, much like us.

    I disagree-yes st.kilda have had injuries but not the key position players that we lost. a forward line with gherig riewoldt and kosi should still be kicking goals. There is trouble at mill at st.kilda. my bro is heavily involved with coteries down there and he was shakin his head last night. that club is in trouble

    Spot on, It's the type of footy that the saints are playing that sucks, they arn't using the great fowards they have got.

    On the Weekend Robbo Kicked 7 and the Saints kicked 8.

    The club is in trouble but not because of the coach, the board is completely split in two and Butters is holding on by the skin of his teeth. Does anyone remember how we performed when we had problems with our board?

    I think both are in trouble, would Lyon do a better job than Daniher, I doubt it.

    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.

    agree. also have to add after ten years still struggle interstace bigtime. two or three wins in Sydney is not enough

    That's right. For most of the season they have been without their two best key defenders - Hudghton and Maguire. I don't think they've had a first choice midfield all year either.

    On top of that they have this ridiculous public spat between their current president and immediate ex-coach. Can't help matters.

    • 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.
