I love how last year our flag was built off the coaching of our assistant coaches and now when we don't win it, it's all Goodwin's fault.

Exactly!!!! Some supporters just have it in for Goodwin

    Have no idea what will happen with Jake Melksham from a contract point of view.

    But Corowa Rutherglen Football Club have pretty much a senior coaching role for him to walk into if he is delisted.

    Brother Darcy plays senior footy here for the Roos and his dad Dave is a development coach.

    Are you from up that way DD, good mate of mine comes from Corowa, his mum still lives up there

    But in their defence, when he eventually leaves the club they can say they were right all along and he wasn’t the right guy🤣🤣🤣

    Albury mate. Grew up around the area so know Corowa inside out.

    Missus family are big part of the Corowa Footy Club and have been for many years.

    It's certainly a collective as a whole I agree and I have mentioned them as a group together.

    Yze and his mids were poor during the finals series. The connection between Gawn and the mids was completely out of wack as it had been in certain parts of the year. We had two best ruck combo in the game and we got beaten around clearances far too easy for my liking.

    I think Stafford will be under pressure the most to keep his job. Line coach of a pretty dysfunctional forward line wouldn't exactly look good on his record

    I think Goodwin will reflect back on this year and know deep down if he had his time again he would have done things different.

    We know he's a good coach as much as he's frustrated the hell out of me. He'll learn from it.

    Said during the week that regardless what happens this finals series I'm genuinely excited we can do some serious damage next year.

    If I could have my pick for 1 assistant coach, it’s Don Pyke.

    What he does with speed of ball movement would be sensational for us

    How does too much speed of ball movement gel with the defensive back 7 though? That's the balancing act.

    I think it's giving licence to a certain few (as per my recent post in the game plan thread) and allowing some flexibility with the ebb and flow the game to take the game on more with the corridor.

    Yep but as I said in other posts, the change has started but we’re not consistent with it and when we’re under pressure we go back to what we know.

    The footage is there from round 15 onwards and it was evident in the first quarter last night

    Have a look at Sydney he’s the architect of their ball movement, he had the Crows playing fast high tempo footy off rebound and I saw him at WAFL level do the exact same with the teams he coached

    Yep, first 15 minutes was daring and had we kicked straight in that time we'd have been 6 or 7 goals up and it'd have been game over.

    We reverted to safer ball movement and they got on top of us in the second half of that first quarter.

    Yep part of it it is also the players having faith in the system and it being second nature

    Our whole game style is playing not to lose. It’s a defeatists attitude that needs to change over summer.

    He's contracted, no way we let him walk. Also Adelaide and Port are allegedly going to get Rankin and Dunkley respectively which will cost first rounders minimum, so they will have bugger all trade capital to make anything appealing to us. Next year is when we worry.

    Has to do with the Crows getting Dees 2022 1st round and then traded to Swans for Jordan Dawson deal.  Wish we had Dawson.  Nonetheless JVR was worth the trade and hoping he’s another JT success.

    Not only sacked him as coach but would have desisted him as a forward as well.

    Any reason why we are not in the frame for Griffin Logue? and/or Lloyd Meek? Or is it a matter of Preferring Grundy on the same 700k bucks + taking a 1st into the draft?

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
