    Ben Hart halfway out the door at the Crows. Goodwin connection?

    I thought the same thing @Mach5 - I know nothing about him however... was a fine player mind you...

    Nathan Basset.

    It's not often spoken of but Port have had the least scoring against for two years running.

    All Australian defender (alongside Goodwin) and multiple premiership coach with Norwood.

    Hard nosed, a strong communicator and development coach with an aggressive defensive outlook.

    Previously followed Goodwin to Essendon.

    Former Demon :)

    The missing piece of the puzzle.

    *not merely as sexy as who we should target player wise.

    It's easy to draw inferences on players skills sets, acumen and talent - harder to draw a line on coaches, particularly all the assistant ones from afar.

    I stumbled across Brett Ratten leaving Hawthorn a few minutes ago - and thought to myself - that I've always rated him, as a person and as a coach, can't tell you why, just a sense... wouldn't mind getting him on board again at the Dee's.

    But, in one - out another - and without character assassinating people/coaches I've never met - has anyone got a version of a champion data write up for our assistant coaches ;) - I hear from some Demonlanders that Troy Chaplin, shouldn't be retained etc etc...

    Cartoon were stuffing things up, the same time as we were.

    I like Ratten as well...  But lets NOT upset the apple cart; for wish this, or wish that.

     

    Inner harmony is crucial to us.

    Ratten has already done time with the Demons. He was their mid field coach after he retired and he was bloody good...

    Yep, I recall.

    I was disappointed when he left us. but we were a mess waiting to implode. lucky he did go at that time.

    Now is a much better time for incumbents.

    It’s being reported here that West Coast will allow Mitchell to move to Melbourne however he’ll be working for them from there for the next two years.

    • 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.
