Not sure how it finished out but I felt like we started well for about 15 minutes then all of a sudden the ball was on the outside more and we couldn't keep up. 

Only takes about that long for an opposing coach to see what adjustments are necessary to counter any momentum held by the MFC. And then if course we had Mr stubborn in charge of us who in turn wouldn't make any counter changes (till very late in the season)

    Yep. Thought the same. Under Goodwin, we have been very poor starters against any decent side. 

    So why could Jennings not help address that, how hard did he try?

    I reckon he did try but Simon was too stubborn. Simon is now getting a very big wake up call.

    Anyone know where he's ended up?

    Was looking to coach VFL?

    Ended up at suburban level I think. VAFA maybe?

    Seems to have ended up on the outer 'dazz'...

    Be interested to know how he went from a highly regarded football person to slipping out of the system.

    He definitely had high aspirations to have the top job at VFL or sate league. But ended up as a coaching director of some sorts.

    Coaching director at St Kevs old boys. Which is a fair fall but they aren’t a standard VAFA club. 

    I heard a rumour that one year post AFL the Russian Jamar was in the 2’s, that’s how strong they are.

    I wonder if he’s also got a job at the school. The way things are going coaching an APS school team is probably more prestigeous than VFL.

    Oh how I would love to know what really happened. from the master strategist, given the AFLX opportunity, celebrated at the club with coaching royalty, to a well prepared statement about coaching VFL and then completely off the radar. 
     

    anyone see the Herald Sun article by Jay Clark last week? Can see the link on twitter but the article no longer appears.

    The tweet said ‘Former Demons strategy coach Craig Jennings, who Nathan Jones said had one of the best minds in footy, has landed a new job.’ But the article linked is not related.

    Any job related to st Kevin’s is tarnished right now. 
    Jennings was always about Jennings and how good he was.  I think Goody might be smiling now.

    Goody repeatedly said he was one of his closest mates. A terrible Principal and a paedophilia isn't something to be glad about and the covid 19 sure isn't either.

    So I doubt he's smiling given there's a high chance he's out of a job now with the VAFA season on hold.

    He was not as smart as they said he had a gameplan which was ok when other teams did not counter his tactic I think his finals campaign shows that the stratery was slowlybecomming yesterdays gameplan, he did not ajust to the circumstances of the next season modifying it so it would be successful.

    Jennings should be held in higher esteem around here.

    He did guide us to our maiden AFL X premiership.

    given the nature of the upcoming afl 2020 season seems like it's going to be closer to afl x, perhaps we should get him back?

    Are we sure we're leaving him and it's not him leaving us? Interesting that he and Goodwin could share the coaching box for so long right next to each other and not be on the same page.

    I'm not against changes but we better be bringing in some good names.

    Goodwin losing the guy we thought was his mentor (Macca) and the guy we thought was his closest colleague at the same time worries me. 

    There were, and there still are, better potential coaches than Goodwin out there. Interesting he gets rid of the mentors and experience that he craves yet survives himself with an ordinary record characterised by so many meaningless public statements. We may live to regret his extended contract timeliness and execution.

    Gee wizz give the bloke a break. Coached at the highest level, I expect he will be back at the top level again, not like the rest of us.

    I don’t get how he thought he was good? He seemed like a pretty quiet guy. Only real media I ever saw about him was the skin cancer scare. Otherwise it all seemed pretty standard MFC stuff.

    • 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 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?
