I am angry and upset and shocked at the disgraceful...

Almost too angry for words.

What tonight has shown is that the expression of support for the coach by the senior players means nothing. The test of all coaches, no matter what sport, is results. An 11 goal half time deficit against a team that is one draw and 10 losses from 11 games is atrocious. The performance tonight appears as if the players were unaware of the concept of tactics let alone had the chance to have these drilled into them for two weeks.

The obvious options failed and there was no plan B.

I like Neale Daniher but he is clearly not a coach to take Melbourne forward. The only question is who is? Interested to hear thoughts.

Lyon or Schwartz for me. Neither tried but we cant go any lower. Who else is there? Id rather a demon untried other than another ex player untried.

Surely you jest?

They don't have a credential between them, I love the Ox but if his commentary is anything to go by... jesus, would you actually want him speaking to even your kids footy team?

How about these Gems from the Ox... " Essendon need to get in front to be a chance of winning tonight ", When the scoreline was 94 - 48 - " Melbourne are 38 points behind ", " Gee he really telecasted that kick " Telecasted????? Thanks but no Thanks.

ND coached terribly tonight. Robbo was slaughted all day so why not bring him up the ground? Why is Richmond allowd space? Why did it take a quarter for melb to man up Polak? Why was holland playing on richo...he is too slow? Why is davey going cold in the midfield when the ball is hitting the ground and spilling out in the forward line? Why did it take a quarter for pettard to come on? Why did all the matchups in the first half stink and i could do a better job? Why do we keep playing P.Johnson in the forward line when hes too slow and the coach knew of richmonds backline run?Why why why

Godfrey deserves to be congratulated. Kicking lets him down but he spoiled a lot of easy richmond marks and made a contest. Likewise with Bate in the 2nd half. Every other player stunk...especially Brock, Bruce, Green and McDonnald.

Congrats to holland...made up some of his mistakes in the back half.

Disgraceful and I too left at half time. Waste of money and if this is how the club wants to improve is supporter base...well put blainantly...there fu****

hey sleeve, good to see you again even if it's not in the old chat room.

heard these ones just tonight:

"(Nathan Brown) is back to his agility best!"

"Tackles are 18 a piece, but Richmond have 40 more disposals... don't know what that tells you..."

Heard a rumour a while back that Chris Connelly may be in the mix. He is a former player, and is on shaky ground at Freo.

thats great...from one hack to another

GOD NO!

this guy couldnt even coach our school football side, we had to tell the players where to play and after the second game he gave up and went back to the school.

the guy is a terrible coach, look at freo, they are undisciplined, weak minded and if they didnt have the home ground advantage would never make the 8.

Sure wasn't invisible to me...

What about Denis Pagan? Seems like Carlton want to get rid of him... Don't know if this is the answer but if Carlton shove him, he is a proven coach

Mark (Zebra) Williams has a winning history and a winning culture, and plenty of experience.

May of course not be interested, but ???????????????????????????????????

Will be interesting in view of some of the comments re ND and the Bummers just how HE performs next Friday night. I imagine he wouldn't want to look too stupid in front of prospective employers.

I'm a multimedia superstar! :o

Would actually love to get Pagan as a coach but I don't think it's possible so would prefer Harvey. Notwithstanding the hype about Voss, Harvey has done everything you could hope for

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
