Selection Table

Featured Replies

No issue with Goodwin running selection considering he's getting the keys to the joint next October.

I feel certain hat Roosy will be having chats with Goodwin on a daily basis about the methods.

 

Jordie McKenzie

Viv Michie

Jack Grimes

Mark Jamar

Rohan Bail

Dean Terlich

Have to be the main suspects.

Matt Jones has been in the side recently while Riley & Gawn's back in so doubt it would have been either of them.

I dont reckon we need to turn this into a witch hunt. There's a number of players who could feel aggrieved and I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same at most clubs.

It's the nature of the beast and with Goodwin coming on board in 2017 it makes sense the club is trying to build the list to give us the best chance at success under his stewardship. Roos' job is to sort the wheat from the chaff, develop the culture and set the standards and structures to lay the foundation for Goodwin to build on. Some players like Terlich won't he getting much of a run, others like Jamar might be pushed aside for new talent to develop. It happens even in successful sides like Hawthorn (see Brad Sewell for instance).

Hi All - have sat on this for 6 weeks now but though with the Stretch arguments on the other page that I should bring this up. A fringe Demon player was having a [censored] to me about selection. That Goodwin is the main man in selection and he is more focused on buiding his list. He felt that the younger players were given more focus than the older ones and that he felt that he wasn't in Goodwin's plans which was a reasons behind his lack of selection.

Has anyone else heard this from their sources? Just want to confirm if it is true or not or him being a little disgruntaled. Thanks.

So, how long have you and Jordie been mingling?

 

It's a ruthless business all great coaches have been ruthless with their lists. Norm Smith, Barassi the list goes on. We need to be ruthless if we are to have a future. We cannot give players games who are not going to advance the club

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
