    I like the cut of Deano's jib, but right now, he has alot of work to do. Talking in December is one thing, action in march is when he will really start to be judged. But so far, i think he is a god fit.

    Also great to G.Lyon get involved and talk Robbo around. Like the article says, Garry gets criticised for not being involved in the club, but he is red and blue through and through, and he is often talking to players...when they ask him. a true club great!!!

    Great article, Mike's always good at a December fluff piece, but at least "The Dean' is saying all the right things. It's hard to not get excited about the new era, but it seems the suck it and see approach is the best way to take this. Too many disappointments to get too excited yet!!

    I remember Barassi was touted as the messiah years ago; what a fiasco that was!

    It doesnt matter what happened in 20years ago it doesnt matter what happened last season because today is a new day with a new coach a new team and a new attitude. Dean Bailey at the moment has ticked all the boxes so no criticism is needed for the moment until he makes one but Bailey looks like the man who learns from mistakes and would not keep a recurring problem occur which we faced occasionally through the Danhier Era.

    As Bob Dylan said "The times they are a-changing" so lets just sit back and watch our team in the 2008 season and support them through the good times and the bad times.

    As said in the article we have players that are at a fitness that was expected in Janurary and players are not happy about last season and are looking to rectify it, so you know that we are going to come our roaring. People can critise and point out flaws and complain but I don't care cause i know that I'll be cheering for my club come the 2008 season and beyond because nothing can destroy my optimism and nothing can destroy my faith.

    CARN THE DEMONS!!! FOR NOW AND FOREVER!!!

    Bingers, I appreciate your caution, but the Barassi era was the precursor to our 5 consecutive finals appearances under Northey. The vast majority of that team were brought together by Barassi and Slug Jordan. Perhaps his 5 year plan should have been 7!

    • 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.

    • 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.
