At least we can all be happy we won’t be losing again this weekend.

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...

That's me clutching at straws, by the way, not you, Mr @Redleg! 😄

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
