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: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
