Riley - three things...

Featured Replies

Riley must:Give the inexperienced players a go and see what they have got.

Get the players to commit for 4 quarters

Get the senior players (who are not watching it on TV from the Epworth) to back themselves.

Riley will:

Try a few 'crazy things' (Miller down back???) to make himself look different to Danners, at least one of which will work.

Have different 'favourites' than Danners.

Have a plan B (please, please, please!)

Riley won't:Win us a flag this year (Ha, that was too easy!)

Wont fix the kick ins (has been his responsibility before with no effect!)

Be coach next year (too many 'glory boys' out there waiting for a shot....)

What do you think?

ost seem resonable

wont: tank games

will: send players for surgery

Must: Not be a clone of his good friend and, up until recetly, boss.

Only play those worthy of a spot and that are relatievly injury free, at least no major problems.

Test the entire list if injury permits.

Will: Keep Danner's structures largely in place.

Most probably win this week as teams under a new caretaker coach seem to win first week up more than not.

Want to win games regardless of priority picks

Require the use of Greecian 2000 or go grey...

Keep a low profile.

Be on a honeymood from the media for a few weeks, but not from Demonland.

Won't: Be too adventerous.

Win more than 2 or 3 games this year.

Look any better in a suit no matter how expensive.

Get the gig next year... seems to come from the same stock as Danners (to me anyway and I don't know any better).

 

Must be different to his predecessor because if he's a clone of The Reverend he'll be on his bike in 9 week's time.

Will persist with young players who are our future e.g this week's ins to include Buckley, Dunn, Frawley, Garland, C. Johnson and Miller.

Won't be afraid of some losses including big ones e.g in Neil Craig's period as caretaker the Crows were flogged by well over 100 points against Brisbane but the by the following year they were able to turn the tables.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
