Just wondering what everyone thinks about the dees when we will win our next flag and what we need to do to get it.

We have a new coach is this going to be the one to develope our players we will have to wate and see.

Should we bottom out like the tanks because at the moment they look like they might win a flag before us.

    Mate that's the big question isn't it.

    Its hard to judge things like this. It's been 44 years now and whilst the past 10 or so years we've been competitive we've never really looked like were in with a real shot. Sadly with our recent form I think it is inevitible that we will finish near the bottom even if we do play all our older guys. I suppose the good thing is that we have a head start if we choose to rebuild as all our youngsters seem to be pretty handy

    This time last year a number of media people had us in their top 4 - this year they'll ll have us in the bottom 2 or 3.

    No practice wins - who can blame them. Apart from the Geelong game I haven't seen them this year. I think Melbourne are a 6 to 12 side depending on injuries.

    My biggest hope is that the demons get some late 80's mongrel back into them, not punches or that but good hard solid crunching tackling - win or lose I'd like opposition sides to say that they copped a few bruises and were tackled hard in a Melbourne game and they were sore - that's my first step to getting a Melbourne side back as a force. There were too many "soft arm tackles" as Gerard Healy called them. A hard tackling side creates pressue - have a look at what ST Kilda did to Adelaide on Saturday night.

    To be fair mate Moloney and sylvia were smashing blokes into the turf all day on Saturday. Obviously didn't make much difference though.

    To the original question I would say not to worry about possibly being out of town in September for at least a few years.

    • 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.
