Did anyone see footage last night on Footy Classified of DB in the coaches box? You may disagree with me but it looked like he had steam coming out of his ears. i think was not only disgusted as the coach of Melbourne but also as a supporter of football. He looked like every Melbourne Supporter present at the ground.

    Well the question is "what is he going to do about it?" He has been the coach since September last year. He has been responsible for the pre season, he has had time to educate the players re the game plan. He also knew for months that he would be facing a Hawks side without 3 of their top dozen players (then Brown was to miss as well). So far after every pitiful loss (Sundays makes 5 in a row counting the pre season) all he's spoken about is how disappointing it's been and how we'll be working on it. I can't recall a more disgraceful performance from a Melbourne side in my time following the club. We have lost by similar margins in the past but at least we had the excuse of being seriously undermanned through injury etc. On Sunday Hawthorn's missing players were far more significant than ours (with the possible exception of Rivers balanced then by the injury to Croad). We never put in an effort like this under Daniher. He has overseen the selection of the most woeful leadership group in the competition - I can't imagine that Yze would get a game at any other team and Miller would be at very long odds as well. If it truly is a new era then why take a step back with the selection of this leadership group? If he wants to start a new era then dont fall for the trap of dropping Weetra and Morton this week - keep playing the young guys and put the games into them. I don't see a clear plan or vision atm and I think we need to get one quickly. Could anyone discern any sort of game plan on the weekend? All the talk about Bailey has been positive so far but I am yet to see what all the excitement is about. This club was crying out for an experienced head coach who could sell the place. Instead we have gone for an extroverted CEO. I would have gone the other way and put Stuart Fox in charge of the business and Sheedy in charge of rebuilding the club and team. If Bailey was that impressive at interview be bold and make him Sheedy's main assistant with the opportunity to move into a co-coaching role and then let him take over in a couple of years. All water under the bridge now I know and we need to just get on with it. It's hard after a performance like Sunday's though!

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • 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?
