PSD imo we need an experienced coach. We have had a fair go at a rookie coach and to date hasn’t worked.
My top 2 hit list would be in order of importance 

1. Clarko (prob wishful thinking)

2. Ross Lyon

i would also have an assistant in Yze earmarked as a successor at some time in the future. 

If we continue this style with Goody I really hope the board show something and  move him on at the end of the season. I know it will cost us but bloody hell if we go into next season with Goody as coach it will be horrific and we could sink even lower than in the good old Neeld days imo. 

I really rate Lyon, Deanox he gets things done. He may be defensive but he gets the best out of his players. 

I can't see Clarkson leaving Hawthorn and, whilst the current plight makes an experienced coach a priority we still need to remain open to potential with experienced people in the game, which is why I mentioned Fagan and Beveridge

I'm not sure on all the Yze hype outside of the romanticism what else. Working under Clarkson would have its benefits 

Goodwin has no choice now but to make changes in his plan. He doesn't need to throw the baby out with the bathwater but changes are necessary, if he doesn't unless things miraculously click he will fall on his sword

    and in 2010 everyone thought we'd picked the right guy because it was down to him and Hardwick

    Thanks, Ethan. Yeah, I agree re: the gameplan. I suppose I'm still harbouring hopes that the gameplan will just 'click' all of a sudden (by which I mean better F50 connection) and the players will have a surge of belief and confidence and we'll start kicking 20 goals a game. ?

    Why wait?

    Nope, perhaps you should let the adults do the funny stuff next time.

    Listen here Sonny don't bother responding to my quotes. You're one of those people who's default position is just to be insulting.

    Well that's what happens when you try to get your chuckles when I'm being serious. For the record; I have a sense of humour, often veiled in the sea of negativity that abounds on this site. At another time I might have had a good guffaw at your obvious wit. In humour, I think timing is everything. I may have offended you and you obviously thought I was insulting you. Given your childish reply I will stand by my earlier comments. Oh, and I'll stop responding to your quotes when you decide not to post things that add nothing to the conversation.

    Gosh darn it, I just added nothing to the conversation.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
