Uncharted territory for the MFC with a coach going out on his own terms.

I wonder how the rank-n-file will approach this.  How did Sydney handle it?  Will we give him a standing ovation at 3/4 time?  Will the trumpeter blow a few sombre notes?  Will the Roos-Views-Interview bloke give him a few thought-provoking questions, interrupted by tears, on the PA system?  Will others expect astray change from the 4.5m?  Will we act according to the scoreboard and W-L column?  Will Walls and Demetriou chair him off?

Will it be our last home game v Hawthorn?  Our last G game v Carlton?  Our last game v Geelong?

Our last G game v Carlton. That's my tip, with a smaller sendoff against the cats, unless of course, we sneak a win.

Will we give him a standing ovation at 3/4 time? Dunno, but I would like to give the ovation to whoever in the afl inner sanctum, convinced him to take over. It may well have saved us from extinction. And make no mistake, it was AFL inspired.

Best mate and I going down to skilled together to watch Dee's in last round.. Been meaning to go for years, he's a Cat's man..

He says to me, "You blokes will probably beat us again as it's Roo's last game"

I simply replied. "That's not confirmed yet"

"Goodwins confirmed for next year" he replies

"I'm well aware of that"

"You blokes won't play finals"

"Also not confirmed"

As a Demon's supporter all this stability doesn't sit well with me.

I say sack him with one game to go with Brett Alison as the stand in for the last game.  Purely just to cause confusion

First sign him on for another 3 yrs, then sack him.

I reckon a bloke still at the club did just this in the last 5 years... Father of a future captain.

2016 Semi Final vs Adelaide at Adelaide Oval will be Roos last game as coach... after we rolled the Doggies by 31 points in the Elimination Final

We go down by 7 points in a brave and brilliant performance, and its clear the next powerhouse club of the AFL has arrived.

Note that I do not agree with the unofficial chorus of the song in regard to Roosy. But since we're all posting farewell music here's one that Roosys mullet would surely have appreciated in the old days. Potentially could be accompanied by dancers lifting their veils of negativity.

    PREGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the Saints in Round 11 on the back of two straight losses in a row. With Jake Lever out with concussion who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
