Basically that we have gone nowhere over the last 3 years and that our coaching team is now almost dysfunctional with Yze and Williams in the wing. Bartlett wasn't spared either. Inability to sign Oliver etc

Nothing that most of us haven't been saying for a year or two... bottom line Goodwin disappoints

Fair enough that we haven't done anything for 2 years, but how the hell could they say out coaching group is dysfunctional when we haven't even played a game yet?!

 

Great to see the passion on  here, win or lose it will go off after the game. Win I hope!

    Yze and Williams are a message for Goodwin... In that sense the group is not cohesive

    No CEO would put up with it which shows how tenuous Goodwin's position is.

    Anyway as you say early days and he may surprise

    I still can’t work out why they didn’t change our game to a 1.10pm start and play the other game here this evening? Would have allowed plenty of time in between to quick clean/prep

    MCC has very strict and firm ground management guidelines i believe. two games in one day can impact turf quality.

    Cant play Jetta and Jones in the same team together but I prefer Jetta to Jones. Jones offers nothing other than being a witches hat to shuffle around and cannot play out a full game. He will be subbed out or will keep the bench warm for the last quarter. It’s astounding that he still gets a game when he should have retired gracefully two seasons ago.

    Kade Chandler named sub!

     

    Disappointing crowd so far, where are all the Dees supporters??? Only expecting 24,000 today, I would have thought a lot more.

    Jones still offers offensive ball use and drive.

    I'm harsh here but Jetts actually offers nothing anything. Incredibly slow, and lose one on one contests far too easily.

    Actually gobsmacked Jetta is playing today.

    Was just thinking that, 25mins before the bounce and there seems to be only about 5k here now!

    They might be a message but no CEO would get them in if they were going to make the group dysfunctional. They were brought in to give the team the tools they need. If it then goes pear shaped, well fair enough. But it would make no sense to bring them in to mess up the coaches group or else they might as well have sacked Goodwin last year

    For Jetta or Jones?

    I'm disappointed Lockhart is injured. He'd be playing today instead of Jetta.

    Better than the ghastly empty stands with fake  crowd noise.  Be grateful!

    I’m assuming there’s going to be a mass arrival of supporters in the next 20 minutes as there’d be lucky to be 10,000 people at 1:25pm.

    I used the term CEO in the business sense. Goodwin is the CEO of football and therefore the most powerful person int he club. 

    Pert is an administrator

    Strange beasts..footy clubs

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.
