Richmond should have sacked Hardwick in 2016 and Collingwood Buckley in 2017. Lighten up champ.

They didn't though. When Neeld was sacked the AFL did not trust our board with another rebuild because it was obviously unviable.

I don't get why this slow team would be better being slower, on a wet, slow ground? I don't think you could explain it even if you could be bothered. I have no idea what you are suggesting? Perhaps that we have not been losing by enough? 

Dazzler's confidence you would work it out was misplaced.

He was making a joke about it being a pity preuss wasn't in to run through Scully.

Sheesh.

So it is more important that we even up on ancient history on players who are not a threat, rather than to win games? No wonder the team is going backward. I would rather put energy into winning games.

    None of those were sacked and all are better coaches than Goodwin. I want the Demons to win and be successful but I am a realist. I just can't see it happening under Goodwin, he does not think on his feet. Goodwin will manage the team and speak well publically but success needs a coach that can coach well.

    I think our differing points of view are a bridge to far... and I'll leave you with this thought

    All are better coaches than Goodwin, because they now have silverware... so its a post hoc evaluation.

    Early in their career as coaches, they also were not viewed as 'good' or 'able to 'build' a team...nor had won silverware.This is exactly where Goodwin sits right now.

    Whilst it's a results driven business, and he media push a narrative that a win each week is the only thing that matters, what the underpinning evidence is, is that stability at a board level and at a head coach level, matters for success.

    Because of this, I would hope Goodwin stays on for his contract.

    He will stay for the reasons I suggested. Goodwin has done his apprenticeship and has shown he is one dimensional, is a limited gameday coach and has not been able to develop more than a very limited game plan with no plan B. I think this will be his last coaching appointment.

    DL, can you climb up on the grandstand roof and see if the pilot light is on?

    He won’t stay if he doesn’t perform, nor should he.

    Good luck boys and especially Declan.  Carn the Mighty Demons!

    Raining. We fumble and Can't hit targets when it's dry. Now we're playing a team coached by one of the all-time greats, who absolutely schooled Goodwin in a similarity miserable day last year.

    Buckle in, folks, and lower those expectations. 


    7 minutes ago, Sir Why You Little said:

    He has not performed. Even with a more balanced list, he lost us many games at the selection and with inflexible gameday coaching. He will stay until 2022, unless you are offering to pay him out. 

    the only thing more miserable than the weather is the crowd.

    25k tops.

     

    I see we have a new troll, FFS some people live boring lives.

    Enjoy your day @Drunkn167 hope it's memorable for Dec, you and all the family.

    Cmon Dees

    Jayden Hunt’s hair is looking particularly lovely today... and that’s about the only positive I can take into the match

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
