    direction...leadership influence outcome

    people not see the flow ?

    You dont wait, you make

    its everything about leadership

    Your making a fool of yourself like I just said he's had 7 coaches in 8 yrs.

    I agree mjt. BB is being unrealistic.

    But do you always have to add things like 'making a fool of yourself'. It is possible to disagree with someone without abuse.

    thats at least a valid counterpoint

    unlike others

    but then if he doesnt have it...how is he in the leadership group

    If he makes claims he ought to back them up.

    Seems to me he wants it both ways.

    I make more of it that he makes a stance now, seems rather theatrical and contrived.

    Hes had 7 coaches in 8 years, he's probably had enough.

    Granted. But not a coach of Roos' calibre.

    Very idealistic, but there is no one man team in the AFL.

    He is but one man, and he has toiled manfully for many years.

    I don't blame him for waiting.

    But I also think you are misrepresenting the situation as if he has been unreasonable.

    I'd appreciate you naming one single player who has made a different decision at such a stage.

    Well, negotiations are precarious….he needs some encouragement? Mentoring? Perhaps, deep down, this is the promotion he has always craved, but couldn't verbalise?

    I still think he's an exceptional player and must not be lost...

    I agree wholeheartedly with the notion of mentoring.

    Dont get me wrong....beyond my bemusement and scathing indifference is a will that he stays. But he has to want to stay and if not then what ever is

    Who ever is in his his ear is doing no favours....to whatever is nibbling away at his concioussness and evoking ( for mine ) an unrealistic understanding of what awaits and indeed what are the choice.

    Om dead curious as to why even broach this subject now....seems agenda driven

    You have complained in the past at others, invariably Machsy, being abusive toward you - and here you are being indignant.

    how is this even a story?

    No players sign contracts this early before they are out of contract, unless they are hacks who are lucky to be offered one

    I think there's an undercurrent of loyalty that you're alluding to here. The ol' playing for the jumper...

    That's now a changing mindset, brought about by several 'I am loyal and love the Club' players jumping ship for coin, motivation, greater prizes, or whatever.

    Chip's manager is in his ear….make no mistake about that.

    Then best you leave , I wasn't replying to sue or you so mind your own business , who do you think you are telling people to leave the forum, the only person that wasn't insulted was BB 59 and he was the one I was replying to.

    I'm with beelzebub on this. You can hold back until you see the direction (Watts, Frawley) or you can get in and set the direction (Grimes, Jones, Garland).

    its a bit under said isnt it.

    Im just curious as to what anyone..ANYONE expects of the future..or of their influence towards it

    Again, why is this on the deck now ?? Other clubs 's players get through this but some of ours seem to use it as an excuse for other reasons ( my thinking )

    The Dees would surely be stepping out on the best path they have since my living memory.... yet some dont buy in ?? yeah right esp as an elected leader. yeah..shred me by all means . Im not convinced he's dead set

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
