    Greeny looks like he put on some kegs.

    We have some super loyal boys considering where we came from and the state of the club in those era's.

    Jordan Lewis on SEN this morning was asked if Buckley goes from Collingwood who does he know who he thinks could take over. Straight off he said Yze then Sam Mitchell. 

    What a nightmare. I've gone from revelling in the ever increasing debacle over there to suddenly hoping they start winning enough games (Queens Birthday excluded of course) so that they resign Buckley and don't go near our Ooze. 

    Heats going to be on if that happens. Do we lose him to Collingwood or do we do something drastic to Goody just when he's got the place up and about. Maybe create a succession plan. He's familiar with them after all. That would be pretty unprecedented for a team that's becoming up and about. I suppose Collingwood did exactly that to Malthouse when they brought Buckley in. 

    I must say Goody looks like somethings not quite right at the moment. Watching footage of him around the playing group at the end of the Tigers game he looked almost down instead of what you'd expect, beaming with satisfaction.

    Just remember Goodwin has gone through a pretty significant family upheaval. As someone that's gone through that myself it can be a pretty traumatic experience.  I was lucky there were no kids involved whereas he's got 2 I believe?

    For all we know, there could potentially be an ongoing issue. We just need to be mindful and respectful of his current situation.

    Perhaps just adjusting to being in unfamiliar territory..... positive.

    He's probably just trying to keep a lid on it, if he was seen jumping for joy then the critics would be on top of him saying we've got ahead of ourselves thinking it's easy. To me it just looks like he's taking a much more measured approach to everything at the moment, even his answers in press conferences seem a lot more thoughtful this year. People forget the Harwick, Clarkson, Thompson etc. were the same, until they win a premiership, then they start to joke around or have huge opinions (which are taken as gospel by the media!)

    I’ve been thinking the same and would be terrible lose yze so soon. Time to start hoping the pies finish 9th not 15th.

    There is no doubt that our resurgence has been through the inclusions of Yze and Williams. There is no way that Goodwin is primarily responsible for it. We have to keep yze as long as we can and let him know that it is his job after 2022. Secretly ofcourse.

    Its April - yes things are going well
    Have we actually achieved anything like what we should be aspiring to - NO 
    Keep the lid on until we have the job done - a premiership cup is what this group should want - anything less is a disappointment
    There is a long long long way to go in this season - much can change and change quickly  
    Hope not but we need to remain fully focused on every training session, every contest, every quarter, every match till Max holds the Cup in the air

    Credit where credit is due - Goodwin is the snr coach and for better or for worse, the buck stops with him.

    His tenure has seen:
    2017    9th   12 wins
    2018    4th   14 wins + 2 finals wins
    2019   17th    5 wins
    2020     9th     9 wins    (17 game season)


    There's nothing too shocking about us playing well and I don't see anything more or less remarkable when compared to similar 'false dawns' with Leigh Matthews' Lions, Thompson's Geelong, Clarkson's Hawks; even Beveridge's Dogs.  All these teams experienced a degree of success with a young list, then fell away, only to return to the top a few years later.

    Fair point and I was not having a go at goodwin, just saying as I see it. It will be 6 seasons after 2022 and just may be time anyway. They are coaches, not players.

    In other words if we're losing, it's all Goodwin's fault, but if we're winning, it's all down to the assistants.

    We've reached peak Demonland.

    Agreed, which is why it's peed me off with the media constantly asking " Are Melbourne the real deal?" all freaking season.  It's been a long build, the quality is there in the core group and they have now played together for a number of years building cohesion, so why should it come as any surprise?

    Port Adelaide have also had a similar trajectory to us.  Ken Hinkly has no doubt been under pressure at times, but I don't think there is much question that he is the guy pulling it all together.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
