Hopefully all the corruption will stop now.

    DD an appropriately immature response.

    Whatever you think of AD he was probably the one who allowed the Demons to survive in 2003/2004 when we were broke. He has been a huge supporter of the 16 team competition and has been in charge of the AFL while it has supported our recovery.

    You can look at the small issues and get your back up. I'll look at the big picture, I'll look at the deals he struck with the TV stations that have provided enough money for the whole league to survive and I'll be thankful. And next year when I look at our team on the park I'll recognize the contribution AD has made towards that.

    I expect to be part of a very small and select group.

    Greatful of his contribution to the AFL but he seems to put his head in the sand far to often in regards to particular issues. He isn't aggressive enough and needs to be more upfront. He treats the fans like peseants and needs to screw on his head sometimes.

    I reckon he has done a fine job. There is always going to be critics and there will always be people who are dissapointed. I agree with fan.

    Don't get too excited...short memory must have a....

    Anyone at Dallas Brooks Hall in 1996 should contrast the Wayne Jackson/Ross Okley period with the AD one.

    I don't want to go through that again and don't think we will thanks to the strengthening that has occurred, partly due to AD's reign.

    Let's hope they pick another Victorian if this is true

    Well said Fan. I can't recall Wayne Jackson or Ross Oakley providing compensation to us, the bulldogs or the roos for a heavily fixed draw.

    'Fark off' yourself. Show some respect.

    Try stepping into Demetriou's shoes. That is one job I would never want to do.

    As Deelicious said, everything he does, good, bad, stupid or genius, he gets scrutinised.

    I just wonder who will be his replacement if he does leave.

    D08 i can say watever i bloody wanna say about him! i have always hated him from the very start. i do not wanna show respect to him!! does a shocking job at the brownlow every year!

    I think his priorities for the game are all wrong and I will be happy to see the back of him.

    I think turning his back on the Telstra Dome transfer agreement sold out fans, and allowing the draw to be totally pillaged by the rich sides has created more inequity in our competition than ever. I think this compensation point is a farce - the AFL has created a self-fulfilling prophecy that creates the need for compensation.

    And yes, he has supported 16 teams, but he intervenes in Boardrooms (buying North shares, saying he supports Butterss, etc..) and would love North to be re-located/re-branded/destroyed.

    He is incapable of responding to criticism in a positive way, and is evasive when asked about issues that are controversial. He has swept many issues under the carpet, and the current TV deal is an absolute disgrace in that if you don't have Foxtel, you don't have footy.

    Ditto 'Choko'.

    I don't think the problem is Demetriou. Much as he is pig-headed and overly stubborn, I think the problem is Adrian Anderson.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?
