    Water tight or not what would PJ and company do if he came to them tomorrow and said " I have been offered the Adelaide job and I would like to be released"

    Would be say No you have a contract and force him to stay at the MFC when his heart clearly wanted go back to SA.

    I would have him out so fast his nose would bleed.

    Yes but I bet big penalties would be involved

    Adelaide would pay them they are not short of cash.

    I would think we will need to hear something from Goodwin in next few days or there may be substance in talk.

    I strongly feel he will come out shortly and confirm his Melbourne commitment

    Nah he wants to gain experience and improve/ prove himself before heading home as the saviour one day . Won't happen now and if it does we made the wrong call to appoint him and will be better off without .

    If Adelaide use recent tragedy to lure Goodwin back or even call him. I'd be [censored] off.. Even if it seems poor taste.

    You had your chance Crows and you fluffed it.

    Not a bad point...who was the last MFC Senior coach to get the top job at another club after their time at the Dees?

    After we beat Geelong he was the messiah again, after losing to the Bombers he's back to being a very naught boy.....

    John Northey went on to coach Richmond and then Brisbane Bears/Lions.

    Forgive me for this, but what's so good about Goodwin anyway?

    Yes, we've put 9 months of development in to him and it would set us back a little if he left, but what has he done to date to suggest he is worthy of two years of hand holding plus a three year senior coach's contract?

    Particularly by way of comparison to Luke Beveridge who was available at the same time, has a much better coaching pedigree and has been super impressive to date.

    Got some Melbourne links too, does Luke. I wish we'd gone after Luke too, but I'll reserve judgement on Goody.

    Goodwin came super highly recommend by bomber Thompson, apparently the bombers players loved him, brilliant mind/match day coach and commands respect

    I hope he has some inventiveness like Clarkson and Beveridge. The really top coaches are always the one's that push the envelope with new tactics and game plans.

    If worst comes to worst we could always go for Andy Goodwin, former Dee and now Wandin plumber! One tough unit he is/was!

    • 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.

    • 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.
