INSIDE DEES’ REVIEW WITH ‘P****D OFF’ GOODWIN

Cheap Seats

I've not been a big fan of Goodwin for a while now. But i don't blame him for the Port lost. We had more of the ball, more inside 50's and took control of the corridor in that 1st quarter and players didn't lay a glove on Port. Then they capitulated in the 2nd when called to stand up.

Enough talking from the players, time for them to just play football and lets see which ones want to have successful careers.

    Based on the link provided, he made a speech requiring PREMIUM COMMAND FORM.

    Sounds good, but can the players put it into action?

    That you very much to the friendly Demonlander (who's identity I will keep secret!) for giving me a copy of the article.

    I guess it's good to hear that Goody was fuming, as he should be. Adelaide will have a short break, and we should be looking to get back some pride so there is no reason why we don't come out super hard against them.

    If I had to make a prediction, I think we will

    1) Smash Adelaide - we will be fuming and they are rubbish

    2) There will be plenty of back slapping and comments about how that was our brand etc etc

    3) Get rolled by North

    That's exactly what I'm thinking also. 

    Our problems are cultural and I can't see that changing in my lifetime.

    Maybe it is Goodwins inability to get the message across that is the main problem.

    If so, he joins a group that includes Daniher and Paul Roos of coaches who regularly saw the players serve up soft efforts in weeks where it looked like they just couldn't be bothered.

    As I said to one of Goodwins friends not long after he took the job...he doesn't know what he's getting himself into. At MFC, a coach can't even rely on the players showing personal pride in their intensity and effort levels consistently. F#$ked if i know how you can develop and implement a gameplan when blokes squib it as regularly as ours do.

    So he should be. i think i speak for everyone when i say the thing all fans want to see as a non negotiable is effort and care. and if we lose but we have a crack most of us can wear that. 

    but with this team, and this coach i sometimes wonder.

    I think Godwin is p.... off because he knows the heat is coming for him. I am not convinced it is the sort of anger we feel for our Club. He can see personal failure again just like when he got done for gambling and mixed up in the Essendon business.

    Everyone has their own reasons, he wants to keep his job. That’s fine

    Make it happen. The only way he will stay Coach is if we get serious and win Big Games

    Goodwin must simply win the next 2 games. Losses to Crows and Kangas could mean he’s gone by years end. 

    He should be gone regardless of results SONS.

    Sadly i fear even if we lost every game for the rest of the season Goodwin would still retain his position for 2021

    Boom boom, Goodwin is a public figure, a leader of young men, his gambling and involvement with the Essendon saga are on the record and are public information. Both give an insight into the guy. The first speaks of personal greed and the second vanity. His stubborness is the cause of much of our current woes and it is important to understand the man to understand how he will handle this crisis.

    Not sure what the idea is to link the articles but my point was it is only now Goodwin has got angry. I find that rather odd after the 2018 prelim disaster, the 2019 crash and this years offering prior to Port. What has prompted this now.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
