    Well there will be more seasons like this one to come Red!

    At least my WAFL club saw this type of danger and took the brave decision to part ways with its senior coach. We had a hugh win on the weekend as a result. While it was sad a club champion lost his position, the club needed to make the change. Beating a host club is always satisfying.

    If we make a Coaching change, it won’t be until the end of the season.

    I can live with that. Never been a big fan of midseason coaching changes.

    J Hunt a former Melbourne player, was playing Reserves for the Eagles on Saturday.They lost but he was third best on ground for the Eagles. So I got to sing It's a Grand Old Flag again.

    Not sure how singing the Dees’ song comes from a losing Eagles game where a former Dees’player is 3rd best for them, but glad you enjoyed the moment.

    You can probably sing it again now, as Casey won last night and a Dees’ player was our best.

    Its a Grand Old Flag is also the club song for West Perth (WAFL). Which is a good thing as I only need to remember one song for both my AFL and WAFL teams. I just a simple country boy after all. To be honest, when I stopped supporting the Eagles back in 1998 because they started the host club arrangement in the WAFL. I started supporting Melbourne because it was red and blue, the same colours as West Perth.

    So I don't sing the Dees song, I was singing the Falcons (West Perth) song. Which I love to do after a win. You should have heard me singing the song when we beat the Fremantle Dockers Reserve WAFL side (PEEL Thunder) two weeks before under our new coach. My dislike for the Eagles and Dockers is strong as they have damaged the WAFL by making super teams. They have all the current AFL players with a ton of coaches. Last season PEEL won the flag, I wonder why?

    Looking like a totally meaningless end to another meaningless season for us..

    We appear to be treading water.

    New venue still not announced.

    No new players to excite.

    Have never got a good free agent.

    In just two games i watched involving Dockers, Giants and Swans there were 7 former Demons playing regularly and we have not one from another team since 2021.

    I don’t think we have an NGA player in our senior side.

    The Coach appears to be just hanging on.

    We keep losing to ordinary sides in the same way we have for the last 4 years.

    Oh well we still aren’t that far away, so maybe next year.

    That's sobering, isn't it...

    Although, it is offset somewhat by the draft outcomes that followed.

    And perhaps a bit harsh on Langdon's, Melksham's, May's and Lever's participations.

    Ironic, too, that this discussion is in this thread. His was a loss I don't think we (eventually) felt we suffered for! 😄

    Not sure there will be coaching change. Goody said on one of the talk shows or radio, can’t recall, that he is going on weekly walks with the incoming CEO.

    CEO probably trying to get the lay of the land and Goody probably schmoozing and getting in the good books to make it hard to move him on.

    I did say players we got since 2021, they were all pre 2021.

    Don’t know who you mean, as no name is in my mind, but he wasn’t a loss, just good riddance.

    Oops! So you did, Red. My bad!😬

    Clutching at straws, were Hogan and McDonald in the 7? (with Jackson, Bedford, Grundy, Jordon and Neal-Bullen (though you didn't mention Crows)?) They'd be 'disqualified', too...

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
