Give me Trac, Oliver and Gawn and I'd give the top 4 a fair shake as coach 

Only if you worked at the Maccas drive thru slugger...

Agree. 

Goody wouldn’t make the top 8 of current AFL coaches IMO. 

most people here plus some board members wanted him sacked pre R1 2021. He wins a flag, with an amazing list, one of the worlds greatest fitness guru’s, an assistant who should already be a senior coach, and suddenly his position is locked in for years. Doesn’t make sense to me. 

We should really capitalise on Yze missing out on the Ess job, by locking him into a sucession plan. Was interesting that Trac emphasised his appreciation for Yze’s coaching efforts well above anyone else in his runners up B&F speech. 
 

FMD there are some posters here with very short and delusional memories 

Proof that drugs are bad 😄

Are you saying Riv is leaving too? What kind of haunted house is it that they live in?

Putting up a graphic of the B&F, is that the best you’ve got ?

Strange argument, don’t all clubs have B&F’s ? , even Wooden spooners.

No correlation with the eventual outcome  of a teams season.

Noting your numerous comments in other topics, you seem very content to sit on the laurels of 2021.

If everyone had that attitude it will be another long wait of 57 years.

Thanks. I feel like a McFlurry now.

I am suprised both Bedford and Hunt are gone. 
Fascinating to wait to see what happens in the next 2 weeks.

Then 21 for Grundy

This would be an excellent outcome, turning Bedford and 32 into Grundy. And it is something that senlems reasonable too, depending how much of his cap we take on.

This is rubbish. 

A bunch of loud angry people here wanted him gone. 

And it's pretty clear that those people are reactive and not analytical, with the only common detraction from Goodwin being that he doesn't throw players around into random positions as a "plan B", which is some kind of weird 80s nostalgia because it simply doesn't happen at any club.


Well that is a blow. Not a huge blow but a blow none the less he was behind Kossie, Spargo and Chandler so I guess he was 4th in line so maybe not many opportunities but he definitely has talent and plenty of speed. Good get by GWS.

Surprised to see him go not Hunt though he's done was never going to improve the team probably never should have said happy to see him go but I think his time is up. Good luck to both.

I want him coach for life. He's won us a premiership that I never thought I would see so I am forever grateful to Goodwin and the 22 players that won us the premiership in 2021.

If I had to pick one of Bedford and Chandler to keep, I'd be keeping Bedford.

However, I don't think either of them have been that good so far. I don't think we under-played him, as I don't think his form ever really warranted more games. So if GWS have convinced him he's going to get more games up there, so be it. All the best to him.

This is basically where I sit with Toby.

I'm not sure Bedford or Chandler are medium term AFL footballers.

Hunt and now Toby.... ? 🙄 I really hope JT goes to work and gives us some surprise prospect, really sad Hunt missed out on the flag last year.

It’s a disappointing result for mine, but one I completely understand. You can’t continue to not reward players. He’s certainly good enough to play senior footy and yet we gave him a 7 week run as a sub with 10 active minutes on the field. 
Deserves better.

I would rather keep him than Melksham for another year, but I understand these aren’t really the choices we make. 

I know there was a report we'd tabled a three year deal, but I wouldn't be surprised if we pushed him.

You are quite comfortably one of the worst posters on Demonland. Congratulations, Big Brain.

Let's lock in an untried senior assistant to take over from our 2021 premiership coach. 

This sort of nonsense belongs on Facebook.

You are a fool. All he did was win a flag? Remember the Saints with their great list and Ross Lyon and others could not get it done. Stick the journey and Goody will deliver us at least one more flag. You know Yze was our midfield coach this year too yeah? You can’t credit him with helping us win the flag and then ignore that he was part of our coaching team this year too

Gut feeling but I think we need to keep Toby now. Keen to see him with another pre-season under his belt. 

Absolutely. Internal Club development and fault mitigation is urgently required across the 'training' season - otherwise we are not doing justice to his footballing career and another club may well see it as an 'easy fix' - striving to get him onboard for raw talent up forward. He is fast, he knows how to kick 'em; he links well but is restricted, mainly by two factors: taking possession of the ball and physical presence. Yze is the man to correct these limitations.

Excellent player with unique skills. Better than SG as a skilling coach, in my opinion.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
