Sounds like the only change we will make might be a mid in for a half forward (eg. Tyson for Hannan).  Rightly, Vanders is still a few weeks away, but clearly they still rate him and think he can have an impact for our side going forward.

Can't wait for the game on Saturday night!

    WTF does this even mean " Goodwin: As a club, we’re starting to expose ourselves to these situations. "

    He is saying pragmatically, the more exposure to 'finals' pressure games the better we get at them... and that is only good for the playing list to 'learn' how to play and experience it directly. That's WTF he meant by that.

    Staggering that Goodwin would use words in a press conference. What was he thinking.

    I'm staggered that we need to have the same conversation on this topic every week.

    I heard he is going to mime the presser next week.

    Give the script to Marcel Marceau. That'll be entertaining

    Sick of the these bloody words. Every press conference he just keeps talking. 

    If he doesn't express his views via interpretive dance next week then I say we look for a new coach.

    Haha! I’ve always been a hater of Barrett, I reckoned he’s mellowed this year and has been quite positive on Dees for a change!

    Interpretive dance would work.

    lighten up!  He might hate it as much as you do.  It is part of the job.  If he chooses to use ‘words’ to say as little as possible, then I’m ok with that provided they win.

    I wood say that means, we as a group are starting to actively seek/desire the bigger challenges:  to take them head on:   instead being a bit sheepish about the bigger power clubs.

     

    We are starting to lose the mental hangover; after being a beaten down Club.  And Goody is right. 

    We won't lay down any more, with this current culture building within the Mf club;  at the moment.

    The words are not for the players; they are for the supporters and interested people. even opponents.

    It's the players who are starting     to set the tone on-field,,, following all the coaches and assistant coaches since Roosy.

     

    He's relaying where we are at to those who care.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
