    He's a class act Chris Connolly.

    He's not the right coach for us going forward, but I hope he gets a gig somewhere else. Him going is as much about the players as it is about him, I don't think any coach could have done a better job with the egos involved at Freo.

    Agree - he has dignity and this players have let him down, unfortunately as did some of ours :ph34r:

    Agree with that Hards, he handled the press conference well and has always seemed pretty open and honest......

    But this is also true and hopefully we don't go down that path.

    I wonder if in the restructure there isn't a role for him in the MFC food chain, but not as coach. I have my doubts about his coaching, but like others have stated he is a very solid individual of strong moral fibre, something that seems to be lacking a little over there in the west.

    Chris Connolly's resignation was inevitable thanks to comments made in recent days by the Fremantle president about his position as coach.

    However, I heard someone make a statement on SEN (I didn't get his name) that Fremantle treated the situation differently to Melbourne which should have taken note of the way the Dockers treated Connolly. The implication was that Melbourne handled the Daniher situation badly while, by way of contrast, Fremantle handled it professionally.

    The guy's talking rubbish and is a complete imbecile. The Dockers stabbed Connolly in the back and acted IMO poorly. Does anyone know who this bloke is?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
