Geelong is the perfect example! Last year everybody was calling for Bomber Thompsons head. Geelong did a review and put faith in him and look at them now. Just goes to show that its not always best to change coaches.

    Does that mean we keep Riley?

    But what if the reason the team is performing badly is because of the coach?

    Do you still keep the same coach?

    Why? Do you think the Demons were performing badly because of Daniher? We were the best performed Vicorian side in the comp 9 months ago. I'd say injuries were the major reason for our poor showing. Just remember that 2 weeks before he finished up the Demons were all over Collingwood, who apparently the media now believe will finish top 2! The faith the Geelong administration showed in Thompson is admirable and looks like being rewarded. Good on them! By the way he has coached Geelong for 8 years now and this will only be his fourth finals series. Daniher had 6 in 9 completed seasons.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
