"I honestly can't see us not making finals this year because I think we've got a fantastic list.'' - Clint Bartram (Geelong Advertiser)

Good to hear that Clint is upbeat about the season and our list potential - And you have to think that someone in his position would have a good idea about it.

It sounds genuine to me....You Guys?

    i work with mainly Blues and Pies supporters , verbal jousting is a daily ritual about the footy but i find it insulting that our own suporters write us off so early. while we have a new coach we shouldnt be compared to the Hawks because ND with all of his faults continued to blood new talent leaving DB a lot more to work with than outside supporters think. if we finish 8th with other Victorian teams finishing above us we could play ( on the basis we win) all our finals at the G. and with a bit of luck and this new mindset..............

    Yes....and can someone give me all of the names of the critical players that we now don't have on our list, compared with the '06 list which played off in the final against the Dockers just two seasons ago?

    I am happy to read that, I for one am glad that he believes that the club should and will make the finals.

    Indeed, although there is a whole lot of fluff in the article and not enough "I'm fit, ready for Round 1 and will win the Brownlow soon" :rolleyes::lol:

    He's a gem though!

    I've read a couple of times how DB has the players sitting regular exams on game plans etc and find it very reassuring.

    I've not heard of this being done before in footy (although doesn't mean that it hasn't) and feel that it is an excellent way to ensure that every player knows the team rules inside out. All players will want to do well in these exams with a new coach on board and DB can also pinpoint who he needs to spend extra time with based on results.

    Neil Daniher did this kind of thing in his first year in 1998 and a lot of fuss was made about it.

    • 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.
