Speaks very well. I expect big things

Will be very disappointed if it doesnโ€™t work out. He should relish the MCG wings

Disregard everything I've ever posted about Lachie Hunter. I liked him all along

profile photo duly updated

I had to look twice. It looked like Mitch Hannan for a sec

I have always thought that, too. Many times - watching the Dogs - I'd swear that it was Mitch doing those classy things with much greater frequency than in his time at the Dees. As my failing eyesight deceived me, I'd stare at Lachie for a few seconds longer just to realise that it was not Mitch but certainly, there was a considerable resemblance. I was happy with Mitch at the Dees; but this increase in skills (by Lachie) was the true indicator - onfield, things really happened as Lachie plied his trade - that was the true discriminator as to real identity. When we secured Hunter, I happily felt that our talent base had just taken a more consistent elevation, more quickly applied, and with greater accuracy and effect. I hope that he brings that quality 'lift' to the Dees.


Letโ€™s hope our leaders pull him into line

Glad he isn't Mitch. I thank god Mitch Hannan was playing for the doggies in the grand final. With the doggies 19 points up and stifling all our moves late in the third quarter, Hannnan got a dubious free 55m out. with the elastic band about to break Macrae runs past (chased by a hapless Gawny) to take the handpass and what would be a sure shot on goal or hitting someone up. I thought we are in serious trouble here. The handpass is terrible, lands at his feet and ends up in a stoppage. We were about to go 25 points down with even less time to go. What might have been.ย

And then there was this:

Players will always have plenty of moments to remember and those they'd rather not.

I believe Hunter also had a moment to forget in the GF, taking a bounce on the wing and having the ball bounce out of bounds. I think the game was done and dusted by then - last quarter?

Watching that from front row, level 3 of the MCC was one of the most beautiful things Iโ€™ve ever seen.

If only I could have witnessed Chris Scott struggling to get that sip of water down his throat immediately after, first hand as wellโ€ฆ

That too was my best live footy moment, sitting there with dad right behind Billy Brownless (who wasnโ€™t particularly happy all game) in the โ€˜western wingsโ€™ a mile from the action that tracked east, it was fantastic - the crowd was deafening!!!


I just hope he recognises the opportunity that heโ€™s been given and works to not only achieve, but excel in the role that heโ€™s been offered. He comes with talent, but needs to earn his spot and push a little harder at the chance than he indicated in his first presser (a little too confident and no immediate eye contact with the interviewer).

Yes, elevated conversation would be unavoidable and a great way for him to 'get the message' about what is going to be done to the opposition when they get out onto the ground!

Make it 12 between the skip and best player in the league.

He was a miserable [censored] that night Billy, was in the vicinity of a fellow Demon asking him what the score was and who won on the night. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Did not like it one bit had his goons shew him away. Absolute sook.

I really do feel this up-close-and-personal proximity just before the game is important, rubbing shoulders with -ย  and listening to - two great, champion footballers who never say die. It may not take effect, but I'm sure that secondary influences with rub off in due course.

I realise talking about Hannan in a Hunter thread is getting off topic but I spoke to him in the preseason after this and told him no matter what happens to him for the rest of his career we'll all never forget this moment. He was thrilled. I asked him what he was thinking as he was getting closer to goal. He said if you have a look at it you can see me glance across looking for a better option. I really didn't want to kick it myself. He said the kick didn't go well off his boot and he was crapping himself it was going to miss. So his initial emotion was relief.ย ย 

Back on topic, I reckon by the end of next season we will be looking back on this trade and putting it up there with the Langdon trade as a quiet trade that turns into a massive bonus.ย

Not sure if you gave any real Psycho quals DN and can judge degrees of confidence or amount of eye contact.ย 

Many players change Clubs and Lachie is no different. We have provided the opportunity to better our list and I have faith in the culture and coaching at the Club will enable Lachie to regain his best form and play a very positive role in our 2023 quest to regain our No 1 spot.

Brodie and Schachey also will be great for us.

Please report back in mid June with your patients!!ย

Whilst we arenโ€™t a juggernaut like Pies, Tigers, Bombers, Bluesand Hawks in terms of numbers, have to say getting to play key blockbusters twice a year at the G in ANZAC Eve and WB/KB would be attractive to me as a playerย

For whatโ€™s itโ€™s worth - The Dogs knocked us out of the finals in 2020 with a final round win over Freo in Cairns by 5 goals.

Hunter was so far clear best on ground that it wasnโ€™t funny with 35 touches (in a shortened game), 1 goal and the 3 Brownlow votes. This suggests that he can step up in the big games that count.

Looking forward to seeing what he can a) bring to the table and b) how it affects our recent wing options in JJ, Brayshaw and Spargo (who has no business being a winger).

Spargo doesnt play wing he plays defensive forward and adds nothing to our scoring power

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
