Why did he grandfather Pert into CEO? 

Why Goodwins contract extension?

Why are we dealing with the disgraced Casey City Council?

Thats all.

    Don't hold your breath Biff unless you ring in and ask they will not get asked. We are all too polite at the MFC.

    Is extra heat being applied to Goodwin regarding wins, when we are cap-in-hand to members again?

    Does he (Goodwin) still have the full confidence of the board? If so, Why? (Joking)

    Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances?

    Do the players have a handle on that same question?

    Do we have a future in the league if members dont bail out the club?

    How do we afford a home base if we already cant pay the bills?

    Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances?

    How does he convince members who are losing faith to donate money in these extreme times?

    Does anyone still think 2019 was the abberation?

    Does the club understand how angry the base are becoming with our performances.

    given that a clear mandate in the 2022 blueprint was finals every year and a home base close to the mcg, how long is the legrope on these failing to happen? if goodwin doesn't guide us to finals in 2020, is there a getout clause of his extended contract? what are the timelines around a decision being announced for a homebase and where does that position pert as ceo going forward?

    When will Demonland finally be consulted on match day strategy, team selection and general strategy?

    Since when did beige Moleskins and shiny R.M Williams become part of our corporate uniform?

    Why are we employing so many corporate assistants when the entire economy is flatlining?

    Can we sack 20 of the off-field parasites and get a proper forward coach?

    I agree

    Demonland can easily replace them all. 

    I for one really think @picket fence would shine in a match day role.

    What are the ramifications for the FD if we don't play finals this year considering the 4 year strategy unveiled at the AGM was to play finals every year from 2020-2023?

    If a decision had to be made on Goodwin would the club be able to pay him out considering he is contracted to end of 2022?

    What are the implications for the board who approved Goodwin's contract extension if we are hamstrung by that contract?

    When will we hear any concrete announcements regarding a home base? Timeframes?

    What revenue streams are we going to rely on to make up the lost revenue after we exit from the pokies?

    What other revenue streams are the board working on to make up the shortfall in revenue in 2020?

    Have the AFL confirmed we will be hosting Anzac Eve and Queens Birthday next year?

    That's a start

    Goodwin's tenure as coach really needs to be put to Bartlett (and to not accept cop-out answers).

    The board unnecessarily extended his contract for way too long, that puts us in a position that has us stuffed financially if we get rid of him early, or even more stuffed with membership retention (ultimately financially) if we don't.

    What’s the question?

    I don't doubt it od. But I'd still like to see the questions asked. Put the heat on to let them know the supporters will not put up with another year like last year.  They are at risk of losing all the gains since 2014 (membership and revenue wise) in the space of 12 months!

    They don't have an easy job but it seems to have been made harder by their own rash decision making. They need to know the supporters won't just let things roll on, there needs to be accountability.

    I'm one who last year would've been labelled an "apologist" for Goodwin, the players and the club - but my patience has run out. I said I'd give them 2020 to see how they responded from 2019 and the early numbers don't look promising.

    Lets go one better and re-recruit Morton as well.   Hell get Cook for the forwardline.

    Are there  KPI's linked to Goody's contract extension?

    And if not, why not after having to pay out previous coaches contracts?

    i'm in the same boat re goodwin; really not liking what we've seen so far in the regular season at all

    it's harder to judge the board, but they shifted their own goalposts with the introduction of the new ceo, who is in his second year

    but we really need to see some action beyond' please give us money so we can survive'

    what actual effect will going to the afl to survive the covid crisis have beyond not being in debt to them?

    what are the timeframes on any proposed development would be a start - even around when an announcement beyond 'some time before 2022' would force them to have some degree of accountability

    they've put the onus on the afl and aflw coaches demanding finals every year; if the new ceo's sole kpi is a home base, they need to do more than just announce an 'intention' to have one near the g

    No doubt they'll use covid as an excuse and it may well have disrupted plans. But for an organisation that has had this as a key issue for decades excuses no longer gain traction. Covid or not we just want answers and action.

    Interesting question Biffen. Corrupt former CEO, corrupt councillors getting developer kickbacks. Plant a few trees for windbreaks and all will be forgiven!

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
