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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Disappointing

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
