I know we are suffering and have endured so much after the deplorable decisions of sacking Norm Smith, the most greatest coach.  Committees make mistakes that contnue today.  Why sign a coach before the season starts, for three more years, after such a disastrous loss.  If he knew his worth and was committed, he would have stayed.  If the circumstances were, we were on the verge of winning a flag,  do you think he would say I am the sole reason we are good?  Do you think he would leave us?  Think about it?  Is a coach going to leave a winning team?

    My eyes on the street tell me Alistair Clarkson has been spotted house shopping in North Coogee, a suburb not too far from Fremantle and Fremantle FC’s home base.

    If true, does that increase/decrease odds of Yze coming to Dees?

    My guess is that MFC will the be the last to follow the Director of Coaching model, when Roos was actually the first to propose it a few years ago.

    Heard the same on Monday from another Dockers fan, who is usually in the know.

    My thoughts are it's absolute not happening. Logic tells you Hawks and Dockers seasons are finished so nothing standing in the way of an announcement. Only thing in Freos favour would be the contempt Clarko has for Kennett.

    Pies season is still alive, Longmuir likely to be announced when that finishes

    This pure angst gold. You have out done yourself this time on the bag everything dees related scale TGR. Brilliant stuff.

    To parlay a barley formed rumour about Clarkson looking at properties in Perth into an opportunity to bag the dees is next level wrist slashing genius. I am seriously impressed.

    The other negative nellies on this site should bow before your angsty greatness.

    Where have I referred to Clarkson?  Never came into my thinking at all.  But if it suits your puppy-with-tongue-out shtick, keep going with it.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
