it's not so much a deep dive as it is a regurgitation of the tried and tested themes that have been written since midway through last season

one interesting thing is that they don't think goodwin is under much pressure at all; couldn't disagree more

the very fact that the red and blueprint demands finals in consecutive seasons from now til 2023 with one premiership immediately puts the pressure on the coach who saw the highs of 2018 end in ignominy and then continue on as abject failure in 2019

Ok. But nothing new and obviously if he doesn’t think Goodwin is under pressure his research has been minimal 

i expect nothing less from the Murdoch Empire

Couldn't agree more WWSW.....Not only has the club, in its wisdom, applied the blowtorch to Goodwin with its lofty predictions for this year & beyond, but after a disastrous 2019 SG is going to need to be 50/50 at least by the bye to have some security for the future......

I know our club is searching for more members & needs to provide confidence for its current supporters but SG would have to be the AFL coach who is under the pump the most going into this season.

 

Ken Hinkley?

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • 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.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    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.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
