    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
