i suggest you direct your rather ill informed misgivings to the producers of the show. And i might be mistaken, but i thought i saw it announced at a press conference.

As far as garry goes, it seems a case of damned if he does, damned if he doesnt..

Do you actually understand what has been said ?? I doubt it.

No one ( myself including ) was expecting any fanfare.. but it was almost a non existant offering on his part. ( G-L's ) Keep in mind he'd been happy to say a lot of things in one form of medai..but when something positive happens he al lbut shirks it in another.

No is not his job per se.. but he is in the media.. he is known for his supposed passion for Melbourne.; which must be true to some extent otherwise why the meetings with Stynesy and gardner etc. So he has some vested interest.. It seems perfectly reasonable to me that he might take the liberty of giving us s bit of a pump !!.

Brayshaw is only a newby as Chairman.. but he is normally quite gung ho about things North Melbourne even last year.. and the year before etc etc etc

Your mention of the announement at a presss conference absolutely misses the point. This was an opportunity to say something in a good light.. and it was thrown in the bin. Is that ill informed is it ??

damned if does..damned if doesnt

well he DOES bring things into question... and he DOESNT use an opportunity to do exactly that he bemoans.

Often Melbourne is labeled as having no passion... and thats what I saw !!

    At the risk of reopening the who should coach debate, could you imagine Sheedy allowing us to have this lack of profile! I note with interest that the Herald Sun SuperCoach comp has had so much interest it crashed last night according to todays paper - with a big picture of Sheeds above it. Bailey may well turn out to be a good coach, but I'm more worried about the prospect of him actually having a club to lead in a few years time. Sheedy would have been brilliant for the next two to three years whilst the club groomed a long term successor and helped build the profile so that announcements like the one just made would have received their due air play! I know it's done and dusted and I hope Bailey turns out to be Norm Smith and Ron Barassi rolled into one, but I can't help but feel we missed a golden opportunity!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
