    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!!

    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!

    • 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.
