Outside Geelong, you could have any of the 15 other sides having action in September. Notwithstanding injuries MFC could finish anywhere from 4th to 14th. Its a big year. And if the younger players do struggle and there are injuries that gives Bailey a poor scoreline I hope those that worshipped him pre season will stick with him if it gets hard.

I think we have reasonable claims for the 8 this year.

 
Maybe not last but bottom 4 is likely. Bad results usually follow bad bews, and we've had our fair share of that before the NAB Cup has even started.

Caro continues to demonstrate her best years a a reporter are behind her!!

MFC Board and PG in particular clearly have managed the departure of Harris much better than the previous departures. Ellis and Schwab ones were both done on the run! Harris als held the job for three and a half years, which is a bit above the average CEO tenure. Steve is also continuing in the position until end of March to ensure a smooth handover.

Clear even at a distance that this is anything but turmoil! Sound business decision.

As far as I can remember (was last year) MFC process in selecting the new coach and appointment of Chris Connolly was positively commented on as very thorough and well done. The current change indicates continuation of the process in considered and well thought out steps. Stemming the staff turnover, raising revenue base and getting a better relationship with AFL executive are three clear things that need to be addressed.

Yep..Im with you 100% on this Rhino. For the life of me I dont understand the wimpish pessimism exhibited by some.

It would be the most obstinate of commentators that would decry our finish last year was truly inidicative of our potential and to that we've added coaching pizaz, added some fillers of gaps in the team ( not all but some ) got some more beef on the bones and some fellas back form the bench.

Ive got money on us finishing top 8 ...and I dont spend money frivouously...I expect to collect at the end of the H & A !!

  • 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.
