Dean Bailey gave an interview tonight with Gerard and Dwayne on 3AW

Summary points for those interested

- Colin Sylvia on a modified program this year due to OP in the past but nowhere near as modified as years past. Was able to be involved in some punishing endurance work

- When asked to do you teach a new game plan or provide a plan around the players strengths suggested the latter

- Big strength he believes will be our marking strength up forward - Neitz, Robbo, Newton, Sylvia, Bate and Yze. must have a game plan that allows for this to be our strength

- Said our four ruckman have done amazing amounts of endurance stuff and are really motoring.

- Really looking forward to Saturday

- Then some humour about Meesen having a really large family down Geelong way and if all were members we would have record numbers easily

- Dwayne then suggested it maybe a full house on Saturday and tickets may all ready be limited. Dean thought that would be brillant

- Dead batted any comments about the Prez - Gerard went on to mention a name he had heard around the traps as a replacement but I cant quite recall who it was - new name anyway

If I remember anymore will post accordingly

    I have been impressed with Bailey each time i've heard him speak. I think he is going to make Melbourne a very Hard and Tough group. If he doesn't i will be suprised

    Thanks DW. The part I found interesting is that Miller and Holland weren't mentioned amongst the marking forwards. Whilst Miller has never been a strong contested mark, hence his possible exclusion, I'd suggest that he'll play in the backline all year, form permitting.

    • 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.
