Best part of this thread is  the match by match interpretations and then the inference of whether he is committed, or what his trade price is.

    Just count your lucky stars that nobody has been brave or stupid enough to dig up the 'Is Goodwin The Right Guy?" thread... yet.

    Someone started a thread after the game last night. Reckoned we should have got Clarkson in. Mods must have deleted it

    Well, if I can get sacked after coaching a team to 9 straight wins in a season long ago, then a Premierhip and drought breaking coach should be right in the gun....

    Not🤨

    Hasten to add the team I coached played finals but was out after 1 game!

    Goodwin is as much to blame as the entire FD. We have lost all our games in a very similar way to last night and there hasn’t been anything there to suggest we are a threat to any of Geelong, Pies or Swans. 

    There will be more fringe teams that will improve and trouble us next year if we don’t change in some way. Thing is I’m not sure we have the cattle to play a more attacking and corridor based plan.

    He's Nic Nat 2.0, let Freo take him

    Only on Demonland is 'Nic Nat 2.0' an insult.

    It's a shame this 'Nic Nat vs Watts' draft debate has skewed peoples perception so much that posters have missed out on appreciating how good Nic Nat has been.

    Should be dropped for Weideman next week.

    Jackson is stealing valuable ruck minutes off the best ruckman in the league and you’d back Weid over Jackson as a mostly stay at home forward.

    Saw Weid last night after the game and told him well done last week and he thanked me. Was with Tom Mac and a couple of others.

    Such a pity that the Weid of the Geelong final a few years ago, could have made a huge difference yesterday.

    If Luke wants Freo then we should demand they trade for a top 5 pick for us plus another later 1st rounder (maybe future). They got pick 6 and a future 3rd for Cerra.

    We have TMac and Brown 30/31 next year. JvR coming through but we need another young KPF which we could get with a top 5 pick.

    Our forward cohesion is letting us down ATM.

    If Jackson nominates Freo, can we demand a straight swap for Hayden Young?
    I know he signed a long extension, but he’s a gun and looks like he’ll own a position on the AA HBF for years to come. Could become a mid too IMO.

    I’d love it if we could make that happen, but no way Freo let him go.

    Him or Serong. We need to look to re- energise our half backline with speed and skill. Salem and Brayshaw won’t be the answer to speed up our ball movement and transition. 
     

    If we can put more speed on the ball, Weid may have a chance to have an impact.

    Speed on the ball where BBB and Fritta can actually lead… I’d like to see that.

    Players are aware of poor games and my instinct  tells me he will be back st his best next week. Dropping or threatening is not the way for vital players to be treated. 
    Gawny was not impacting greatly either but one game doesn't mean the same result next week. 
    A tweaking of game plans can do wonders with the ability Goody has to work with.

    Speed is just not running its taking the game on and moving the ball positively swapping angles and length. 

    Rivers and Salem and Bowey can all do that. As can other defenders if we make a concerted effort with a positive game plan. 

    And don't kick to the forward pocket all the time it's defensive and hard to score from there.

    I'd play Petracca forward, Jackson as a mid, bring in Wied as backup ruck/forward, and drop Brown.

    Not sure Trac offers much as a stay at home forward. He need to be in the game

    I actually think they cannot. Salem is a mile off 2021 form and is really back to his pre 2021 form where he was just serviceable and would have a above avg game every 4-5 matches. 

    Bowey is a great kick but is a small body with not a lot of speed. He may come good in a few years but at this stage his trajectory is looking to be more of a role player. Rivers ,  No.

    You may not accept this assessment, but to implement a fast ball movement game plan, you simply cannot rely on the guys above given what we have seen this year. 

    If only Hunt was a more reliable kick and an a-grade decision maker.

    I reckon we ask for that and if they say no ask for 3 first round picks, including one top 5 pick. If they say Young is a gun and we don't trade our young guns, then we say and Luke isn't.

    Probably have a bigger goal return than Brown's 1 goal.

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
