That’s what we need to find out as quick as possible. If it was Goodwin’s idea to bring him on board, fine. 

If not it could be Rocky, but all the assistants are walking...

Who is walking? McCartney and Jennings were pushed out, Rawlings has gone for another gig after 8 years. Hardly a mass exodus.

    In reality i just think Jade needed fresh air and a clear path.....and to get as far away from the dysfunctional  heap of poo we are. 

    He's  been around this club long enough to know what's  what and who's  bogus.

    Don't  blame  him a bit....but it's  a huge loss for us...huge.

    I wonder if we might have a look at Hirdy in a Senior Assistant role. We need the best people and Hirdy brings an aura and win at all cost mentality. Thoughts? 

    Go stand under a cold shower until sense kicks in

    We should never entertain that pos.. ever..EVER

    I would be amazed that someone inside the inner circle at the club would provide that info to another person to allow them to blab it out over the internet.I say inner circle because they would be the only ones that would if this was the case.

    This sort of stuff usually comes from people who put a bit of money in the club and like to feel that puts them on the inside, it can also be from disgruntled board members.

    Players connections can also get in on the odd Chinese whisper.

    It would be very unlikely to come from anyone in the FD...

    I thought you said you asked direct questions, so you didn't get a direct answer, it was implied

    Every season there is a turnover of assistant coaches at clubs,  we were pretty steady for a couple of years, we needed to be, now is the opportunity for change which is happening 

    You seem to be the only one surprised

    But there is not much talent out there looking for a change, so hopefully we won't go overboard

    Melodrama central!

    i know nothing, but if we don’t start with a ‘Sky is falling’ point of view, then maybe North, who need a new assistant, figured Jade to be the best available and made him an offer?  After 8 years at one club, it would also make sense to be exposed to other systems as you work toward your own senior gig.

    I didn’t mind Rawlings and agree with others that he was likely our best assistant coach.

    But, why is he getting rave reviews for turning our forward line around? We had a 2-8 record under Rawlings as our fwd line coach which was an even worse record than before the mid season changes.

    Gee, who'd have thunk there'd be major changes when a club goes from 4th to 17th in a year. What a bolt from the blue. Thank god for "our sources"!

    That's the problem Mooney I think Goody is not easy to work with

    Gee I hope there is a Strategy in all of this

    It's looking desperate  with no clear plan

    Not to mention a club undergoing a review.

    Let me be the first to say I believe there will be major changes at the crows. Major.

    I'm one of those, but wouldn't the pre-season we had go hand in hand with what is happening now?  Clearly we made some major errors over the 2019 pre-season and we are now making changes to rectify the situation, both on and off the field.  

    These changes are no surprise to me, and are welcomed, based off many aspects, one of which was how poor that pre-season was.  It should never have happened that way.

    I'm hearing that Richo and Goody are already at loggerheads and Richo is also on the brink of walking out.

    He says Goodwin is too stubborn and has never seen a single Dees loss - he thinks they're all just bad days!

    If only he'd taken a leaf out of Norm Smith's book - Norm watched endless replays of the '54 GF defeat over and over again, analysing where the Dogs picked us apart. Made the team bullet-proof for a decade.

    Goodwin had the same opportunity to win 5 premierships in 6 years and completely blew it.

      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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
