I'd be far quicker to cast blame at 2nd rate faciliteis before I even contemplated a jumping on the "burn Bohdan" wagon.

I dont hink its so much a fitness guru issue as much as a bad run with injuries and possibly the less than perfect management of it all.

    Some call it witch hunting, others call it common sense.

    He should be looked at because he is a big part of a failed footy department.

    He may or may not be the cause of our injuries, we can never know for sure. However, we have won 4 games this year. Everyone should be feeling the heat!

    Look, throw him in Albert Park Lake, if he floats then he should be burnt at the stake, if he sinks then he's ok... if he just stands up you didn't throw him far enough. :lol:

    Its not about casting blame so much as trying to understand the reasons and their intermingling impacts upon the outcome of the season and learn what measures need to be undertaken. Facilities, injuries and football management are all relevant points to be considered.

    When allegations and are made in absence of facts or understanding it aint common sense.

    He will be looked at as part of review of the whole football department. And so he should be.

    But lets drop the innuendo and guilt by association in lieu of the outcome of the review. It achieves nothing.

    Bohdan, is a sprint coach that is his background. I think he coached Steve Hutton to a Stawell gift win. If he is been focusing with the MFC players on increasing our speed he has failed. We are slow, I saw the drills in preseason they were set up to increase our agility,our players beside TJ have huge turning circles and have acceleration. The sprint drills they do before a game are a waste of time. Jones gets the footy at the contest but doesn't have the strength or speed to get it out, so many times this year he has won the contested ball just to be tackled and a secondary ball up or holding the ball is paid.

    Let him see out his contract, but I would have him as a Sprint coach not as the primary conditioning coach.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
