Another poster has suggested we need someone who can stand up to Goodwin. I thought Darren Burgess made it very plain one of the great things about Goodwin is his preparedness to allow those working with him to have autonomy, with his full trust.

Yeah that poster would really know what goes on, some people have strange dreams, his are obviously delusional.

less information.

 

With Yze a potential senior coach after today or this weekend, I do wonder how much input the brainstrust have in the way we play. He was with Hawthorn and witnessed Clarko first hand.

Also with Choco a premiership coach too, there is a lot of intel there.

Yet we continually kick out to the left from kick ins, and forward line structure is below average.

Don't know if its just me, but I scratch my head.

Do they trust how they want to play and back themselves? Is Goodwin too stubborn to change? 

I just don't understand with such a high level of experience that we don't change things up.

Anyway good luck to Yze if successful.

It really feels like we went away and did all this analysis of scores achieved and conceded from various positions on the ground and through various scenarios, identified the best outcomes, and have gone with the idea that things will only arrive out those statistical outcomes if we do it that way every single time.

We might have missed a trick in that it seemed to have opposition sides stumped last year, and a bit early this year, so maybe we should have mixed things up just so we can pull this plan A out when we really need it. Now that plan A has been analysed so much by opponents, it's not as effective anymore.

Having said that, our way of playing is hugely reliant on us applying pressure around the ball, and we have been extremely poor in that area this year. If we can somehow switch that on, all of a sudden teams will be inherently kicking the ball to the spots we want them kicking to, rather than having the time and space to cut through us and generate good deep entries. Our game will go from painfully boring to watch, back to the more exciting stuff we saw at times last year.

*sound of the bombers contacting Yze’s manager

he signed with the giants yet? If we don’t get Hird, or Ross Lyon, or Leigh Matthews, he is top of the list 


How do we know that Yze wants to uproot all his family and move to Sydney and that Mcveigh isn't doing a good job, which I think he is.

He's agreed to terms, not 100% sure if he's actually 'signed' yet, but it's done.

*This isn't official info btw, just what I've heard

I'd say Essendon are munsoned out in the middle of no-where. Yze will coach the Giants and they will have to go the short-listing process. Diddums 

 

The interview wasn't very convincing.I think something is going on.

Interesting, you reckon Spike could get it permanantly Willmoy? Hasnt been afraid to change things up.

I wouldn't wanting to be hanging around the western suburbs of Sydney, I think it is a s*it of a place, I was stationed at Holsworthy a few decades ago and it was bad enough then and from what I have seen it has gotten worse.

Apologies to anyone here who lives in that area but that is my opinion.

Most likely a good opinion though.

 

I do wonder if Yze would want to meet Essendon as it does make it much easier with kids not moving interstate. 
 


Sen reporting Yze is to coach GWS next year.

All the best to him, he's been great for us in his short time with Goodwin, I just hope he sees out the finals series.

MFC has already told GWS that he is required for finals

Leave going back to back and Yze goes to god status


Luckily for Yze the bombers are after an ex head coach.

Surprising and thrilling. Sorry for Yze but super happy he might stay with us after all. 
Surely he doesn’t go to Essendon

I wonder if the Bombers have sounded out Mark Neeld.

Perfect fit

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
