By default I know Ben Beams started on the bench because he might not have ever come off it.

I'd like to follow on from this contestant's work and do the Bailey/Neeld years as a subject. SBS has shown a lot of sad, depressing shows over the years but they'll have to put a warning up before this one.

A couple of years ago a contestant did something like Melbourne 2015-20

    I had also completely forgotten who Mark Riley was, too. Which makes me wonder, who else has been a caretaker senior coach for Melbourne? Am I right in saying Greg Hutchison and Todd Viney? Was Neil Craig? Who else? (I'm sure there have been plenty)

    I had forgotten Yze coached for one game. Believe it or not Barrassi and Chubby Checker Hughes are on that list. (The format of the list is a little off. The "C's" are in the far right column.)

    I still prefer to consider Neeld a caretaker coach.

    Probably a bit harsh, but I think he was closer to an undertaker than a caretaker.

    Honestly if someone like Hardwicke had instead started his senior coaching career in Neeld's place, even with assistants he'd brought with him, he might have done almost as badly. The coach is just one factor and we'll probably never know Neeld's true ability.

    Good, means there's a gap in the market for a 2008-2014 misery session.

    Yeah, the draw was at the Cattery; it was the day that Tom Lonergan copped the kidney injury, and the year after we beat them by a point when Robbo went nuts. So, our only wins at Porkbarrell Park this century were that one, Max’s breakout game in 2015, and Max’s hero game in 2021. At least they were memorable wins to go with all the bad stuff (incl. 186). In fact they are our only wins there since 1988 (3 from 26 attempts).

    Still probably a lot more wins there than quite a few teams – pies, dons, Hawks…

    I haven't seen it, but the contestant must be some sort of obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenic, manic depressive with a fine taste in football teams!

    I can’t wait till the end.

    So, who was it?

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
