And that changed Coaching Structure made no difference at all...

Problems are deep

Rawlings made a big difference to the forward efficiency. I don't remember the exact stat, but it was a huge difference in our scores per inside 50 after he took over. Yes we still lost games, but that one particular area did improve significantly.

    Stats can be over analyzed. We were still a mess up forward, players were still running in all directions

    Titanic Deck Chairs thus far

    Given we improved at that end of the ground even with Weid, TMac and Bull mostly unavailable I reckon that shows why Rawlings is so highly rated as an assistant coach. I reckon it's unfair to just paint everyone with the same brush despite the facts.

    We did lose the last 7 in a row

    Yep, and as pointed out already, our inside 50 efficiency improved dramatically after Rawlings took over.

    Losing games doesn't mean every single thing is going wrong.

    Really? And what went right this year?

    i am not blaming Rawlings, he has to work under Goodwin’s Gameplan which we already know stinks. 

    But all the mid year shuffling did bugger all to improve a wretched season

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
