Dees Reviewing Senior Footy Department Positions

I thought the forward line was eons better than last year and did a lot right. 
 

The midfield is my biggest concern. It’s where we are stacked for talent and can’t get consistent results. 
 

As I’ve said in other threads I’m happy for Mahoney and Goodwin to have one last year and win or lose together.

    Well if they won’t get rid of Goodwin I’m glad they’re at least looking at getting him top quality support. At least then there really won’t be anymore excuses.

    Thanks to @Lucifer's Hero for the article.

    I think what's telling in that whole article is that Alan Richardson position is not safe at all. Though seeing as he is a former teammate and friend of Gary Pert I cannot see him getting cut.

    Some interesting names that appear to get new contracts. The likes of Hibberd, Spargo, and Lockhart all look set to get new deals.

    Not much to the article just stating that it’s finals or bust for the off field team. All football department positions are under review including Richardson/Mahoney. No comment on if Goodwin is under review but you would assume so. Click bait on the Brayshaw/Viney comment 

    So what was said about those two? Finals or bust must be obvious to everybody, including Goodwin. 

    You would assume everyone gets run over with a fine tooth comb with Goodwin it being based on what areas he needs to improve in to get the team achieving the best their capable of. 

    Mahoney is an interesting one because I remember Roos being very complimentary or him but he should be heavily reviewed given the lacklustre results the last two seasons.

    Every Position within the Football Dept should be under review. No exceptions 

    We didn’t make the Game that is on right now.

    Looks like a review is happening but what we don't know is substantial. Is it internal or external and who is conducting it.i wait in hope but I hope is just not a white wash.

    By the way, has it been a good year for cucumbers?

    Every coaching position should be reviewed.  
     

    Goodwin safe for 2021 but the rest might be on the edge. 
     

    I would put serious $$$ to keep Burgo. 
     

    Richo probably might be lucky to stay on.

    Look at the pressure tonight. 
    that is the level we have to get to, sporadic pressure acts and scoreless quarters are worthless in Finals

    the Bears overtook us with such ease

    Surely this happens every year regardless 

    This is only a "story" as we finished 9th and have underwhelmed the last 2 years

    Yes

    But need to balance challenges of continuity, building a team, being on a "journey" (? I hate that word) with cleaning the carcass and "rebuilding"

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!
