So which 12 months last year of this year, what position does a Board member play?

Another wrist slashing thread, ho hum

The 12 months from Jackson 's exit has been bad but it could stretch back to Goodwin's first day as senior coach. Our board maintains "we are experts who are born to rule" attitude that has hampered our team since our last flag. Our drafting and player management has become stupid. No wrist slashing - seen it all before. The AFL will probably need to do another intervention if we don't improve our competitiveness across the franchise.

Is there a way to put a topic on ignore?

13/13 poll suggests it's not as ridiculous as some are making it out to be. Unlikely sure.

I don’t think we’d go after Roos to ‘ward off’ Carlton, wouldn’t it be to steady the ship? 

Either way, bring back Roos.

Could've been worded better no doubt. I really meant that the club looks upon Roos' On The Couch comments about Carlton and his frustrations with Goodwins tactics, as an admission that he's gettable once again.

 I’d rather a goodbye to Goodwin and go after someone other than Roos (as good as he was for us, he was and would always be a part time solution). 

I’d rather go after a Ratten or maybe a Caracalla first.

I'd rather anyone at all except Goodwin.

 

Adelaide won’t replace one mediocre coach with another. They are a winning club with lots of pride and money. They are not Melbourne. 

Why sack a [censored] coach for an even shitter coach

[censored] it. Straight swap. Pyke for Goodwin. Get it done. 

I’d rather Mark Neeld

Goodwin to Adelaide ?  Marvellous  idea....get the paperwork  ready ;)

Ratten can coach, remember what he did with Melb's midfield years ago. He's been part of Clarko's regime and now his time at Carlton doesn't look as bad.

Of course he can coach. He just didnt git the mentality of some of the old back room boyz club of ours.

Ridiculous hypothetical

One can dream .....


"Sorry Simon Crows made an offer we can't match it sorry to see you go best of luck at the Crows here's the taxi I'll hold the door open for you ALL THE BEST MATE"

 

Goodwin has a lot of work to do but....

Roos came in, stacked the side with veteran midfielders and won 4 games and 7 games and steadied the ship with an awful game plan of flooding back and hoping to keep games tight. He got some fundamentals right - defensive work rate was good, attack on the contest was good, defensive spoiling skills were solid.

Goodwin then took over and introduced an aggressive zone defence, upped the forward pressure from 0 to actually competent and created an angle changing aggressive ball movement system that challenged a lot of teams as he won 10, 12 and then 15 games.

A lot of things have gone wrong this year:
1. Injuries, injuries and more injuries
2. List management failures with lack of quality outside running depth
3. Skill breakdowns - the fundamental handball yet alone kicking skills aren't there
4. Structure around the ball falling away

Goodwin has a responsibility in a lot of it but the idea he's suddenly a poor coach after 1 year when he really built this team from little more than Roos' scrappy Vince/Jones/Cross resistance to a prelim final side doesn't make sense to me.

Ah Saty don’t worry all is going swimmingly this season. Just relax and enjoy.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
