Video should be up tomorrow but key takes:

Team doesn’t work hard enough

Only way to silence history is to perform

Harshest critics are within the club

Rich were 8-6 last year and flogged by STK, they changed and evolved.

Need to buy in defensively

In the review they’ve seen the damning footage that would’ve been shown on On The Couch.

Game review was brutal this week

Need to prove ourselves v Freo this week

Never seen Goodwin react like he did, was angry, frustrated and brutal.

Unfortunately on that show it’s all about Jack and Richmond, however what Jordan said was good to hear, a bit of tough love by the sound of it this week

Reassuring and awesome 

proof in puddimg

 

Good to hear....dems words

Await action

Don’t care what was said tbh. No trust at all in this group, both coaching and players


Maybe the should bring in some die hard fans and let the club/team hear us out how we feel? We generally do the right thing as members now they should follow suite

hearing the echo of rnd 23 2017 ?

 

At least he said something about us this week. I have given up watching because he always talks about his Hawthorn mates and we come a poor second.

Sounds like he ticked off the talking points from the media department at 100% efficiency.


Poor bloke.  Nothing he said would be good enough for most, so I'm not surprised by the reaction.  But he got asked the question and he answered it honestly.  Can't ask much more than that.

Like others, media talk is a big yawn.

Just talk only talk. Of course, Lewis has to say something and this is sending the right message to fans but I suspect most fans turned off long ago.

Actions speak louder than words and I am afraid we have heard it all before time and time again. Like a broken record.  We all hear the words and rock up to the next game to see that nothing has changed.

The only difference is that this time, Simon has been Un-Goodwin like and reacted angrily. Now it may be what we think should happen but it is not typical. So I think this is a positive thing as sometimes you need to react emotionally for players to get the message. 

Have we got the cattle on the park to heed the coaches message and turn it around?

We need every individual player to lift and for some magic to happen. 

Time will tell. The Dees season is at the crossroads. 

 

Sounds pretty standard although Goodwin being really angry does suggest the players should come out breathing fire this week. 

Mat the end of the day talk is cheap. His comment about Richmond is a good one. There’s still so much footy left in the season and it’s on the club to turn it around.

Just watched the post game presser. Quite interesting. He plays a pretty straight does Goody but was obviously seething.

Made it crystal clear we simply did not work hard enough. Mentioned a couple of times that a change in defensive all team pressure will be evident. Said in a way that suggests some will get a huge rocket - and perhaps that occurred in the review.

I'm tipping at least one big name to be dropped this week.  I suspect Trac will be dropped.

He rolled out the party lines!! That’s ok, what else could he say publicly?  

The group and coaches have lost the trust of supporters, that’s it in a nutshell.

Supporters are powerless and have to live with whatever the players dish up.  That’s our lot and there is sweet FA we can do about it.

we are an under performing club onfield no matter who we have on our list. Shameful!

Thanks Feebs!

When the theory that Lewis and Vince cannot play in the same side was put to Jordan on 360 last week he played a fairly straight bat and then ended by saying something along the lines of 'this isn't the problem....there's other/bigger stuff going on....'.

I hope this is probed further and elaborated on by Jordan now following the weekend's performance, somehow I doubt this will be the case. 360 on Tuesdays is the Jack and Richmond show and what Jordan said was completely glossed over. So I'm awaiting the upload with interest

I don't get why people who think words are meaningless etc pay attention to the footy press during the week. I don't necessarily disagree but if you're just gonna say "actions not words" etc you may as well just shut off outside gameday other than to get injury reports

You can choose to join another club and let the MFC know via a written letter and cc the board


A lot of people complaining about talk on a talk-show...

The condemnation of the team this past week reminds me of post round 23 last year. Back then we could do nothing about it. Luckily we have almost half a year to do something about it and redeem ourselves, if we are good enough. We shall see how hurt the players really are. 

I think people might be overestimating the motivating powers of ‘pain’ and ‘hurt’.  

Look to Adelaide this season to see how a hurt club performs... then cast your mind back to Geelong, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Tigers and recall that they they were motivated by positivity and unity in their successful years.

I’m not sure what was more brutal, Goodwin or Demonlands response to Lewis ?

He didn’t back down and told it how it is at least.

Seemed laissez faire about the whole thing?

What did you think?

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
