Why did he grandfather Pert into CEO? 

Why Goodwins contract extension?

Why are we dealing with the disgraced Casey City Council?

    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

    Most of that will be too hard Dr.

    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!

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
