I'd bring in Ian Ziering. You don't survive 7 Sharknados without knowing a thing or two about leading young men.

    Unless he’s a double agent and in cahoots with the sharks. Don’t need any of those types inside the club

    One of the worst actors of all time. Sharknado possibly the worst movie of all time.

    Where could we go wrong?

    Just give the job to Daisy.

    Her coaching would probably be wayyyyyy too logical to comprehend.

    I've been banging on about Nathan Basset for years. Will bang on once again: Nathan Basset. I'm confused why he isn't at the Demons already.

    wouldn't go near buckley - he took the filth backwards every year with the exception of 2018 which feels like the exception that proves the rule

    i'm definitely keen on stevie j

    With you on Buckley. He's a one-man premiership avoidance zone.

    Poach the Collingwood ball movement coach

    Wouldn't work.
    Very few of our players have the disposal skills needed.

    People probably though the same of the pies players after they finished bottom 4 last year.

    Got on pretty good authority we've already had a chat to Stevie J. Being courted by a handful of Vic clubs.

    The pies made a granny in 2018, a Prelim in '19 and a semi in' 20.

    The idea that their list is less developed or worse than ours is a furphy. 

    They have far better balance across their list and they are a much better ball movement side because of this. They can move the ball the way they do because of their list and not their coach. We've implemented a game-plan that is suited to our list's strengths so if we want that to change, list changes and positions will need to also be changed.

    Bowey, Spargo, Salem & Petty great kicks.

    Salem obviously injured throughout the season after injury in round one and carrying a groin later is season. Hopefully back to best after off season.

    Bowey a little bit of 2nd year blues, but hopefully bounces back, wasn’t far off it!

    Spargo is often in clear on his own and gets ignored, hopefully they use him as an entry target into forward Line more often next year!

    Bucks’ ego is too big for an assistant coach. It’s head coach or nothing for him.

    Pendlebury and Sidebottom alone are head and shoulders above anyone we have.
    Now they've added another Daicos.
    And they didn't have too much trouble picking their way through our famous defence last year either.

    Nothing wrong with our ball movement when we played the Lions in Rd 23. Perhaps the pies are better kicks but i don't think we have a fatal flaw in this regard. Coached properly i reckon we can tweak our game plan to be more adventurous and daring

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
