Making it all the more wrong if he was involved in this decision.

Richardson should’ve been the first to go imo.

Everything about the FD is poor.

    I wonder how we can afford to sack so many well paid contracted senior members of our footy department.

    Brad Green was a great player and captain but he comes across as a President out of his league. He doesn’t instil confidence or stability. Hopefully Steven Smith has the maturity and business nouse to truly lead this club to a place of power. This changeover can’t happen soon enough.

    Goody's relationship with our senior players is very special and was both a positive and a negative thing in the end.

    Also lol at this drive by around the Casey facilities.

    How the club and the board have gone about this is so poor. Right decision, [censored] execution and [censored] timing

    A backhander to our administration in failing to secure a home base in his tenure.

    I actually applaud Brad Green for being quite courageous in this decision. He's a little bit on a hiding to nothing here and I know I certainly had asked the question: had he the cohunas?? Well that's been resoundingly answered.

    A hard decision to have to make. I salute you 🫡

    Goody pointedly praising certain individuals (PJ, Mahoney) for creating stability at the club for a 6 year period.

    clear message - there has not been stability for the past 3 years

    Good on Brad for fronting up but Steven Smith will be the driving force behind this.

    He's copped a lot of [censored], but I think he's always been a club and player first in everything he has said publicly.

    With all the challenges he has never waivered in his positivity or unwavering support of his players.

    Goody will be high on the list of candidates for any club looking for a head of footy

    I disagree - i think its the wrong decision, but if it was to be done, it is the right timing.

    Steve Smith has a massive job - not sure a cushy MCC job and a long holiday is the right lead up.

    I hope Brad Green is telling porkies that we havent already got a plan re a replacement

    I for one am shocked that Tom Fullarton and Shane McAdam weren’t the answers.

    I reckon Richo also knows he is gone, thought it was strange that he was spoken to at all.

    These things are never easy. In the end it was done well enough for me. Clearly Brad isnt the best spokesman, but i think he is just nervous and trying to calm his emotion at the outcome.

    Goody was the ultimate professional and it will be tough seeing him at a different team.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
