What an incredibly powerful interview! For me, the big takeaway is the strength of the new culture that drives this club that we all love so much. Go Dees.

Well on hearing that, the culture at this club has well and truly changed from what it was just a few years ago. He talks about the group and the love of the club and the passion to play well. Tom McDonalds signing on for 4 years typifies this. This is going to be one hell of a ride.

Great interview.  Filled me with confidence ...... not that it needed a boost right now.

I loved his point of rehashing the past vs rehashing the lesson. Too often we drag up painful memories of errors in the past with the trite guise of learning lessons.

It sounds as if the team has genuinely taken away from that lapse last year. Hopefully that means we can now stop talking about it. The event can go but the lesson remains.

Wow, love how he speaks about the players and the mate ship that is being built with in our club.

He is such a powerful speaker, hope he writes a book one day?

Winning this Monday will help ease a little of that pain (revenge). But only a finals appearance will make up for what happened last year.

We win Monday, and a finals appearance is ours. No way we miss out from 9 and 3.

Double prizes !!

Really excellent interview and Goodwin comes across as a Roos acolyte with the concentration on the 'care' the club has for those at the club.

I know he isn't just a Roos acolyte and he brings his own style and experience but that culture Roos started is why people want to be involved in the club and why it is so hard to leave.

I had a lot of doubts on Goodwin after he shut down Bugg and Watts for their Instagram/Twitter antics. In the short term I think that was a bad move, and possibly cost us finals last year.

Both those boys will never play another game at the club though and we're going better than ever, so I'll concede it was a good move.

My lesson: Goodwin has a plan; and for the first time in 12 years at the MFC, it's a good one.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
