Could have happened 1 month ago and King might have been snagged. Damn. But 4 coaches in 1 season is not good for footy.. become a circus. 

We're just catching up to other sports really, where you aren't afforded 2 years or more of stagnation or going backwards. Even 1 year might be enough to get the can.

Care factor = 0, such is the irrelevance of everything that is that club. Such a shame that a talent like King is being wasted at that club.

It's got me stuffed why teams pick up tried coaches? Ratten done nothing at the Blues gets a gig. Why? The inevitable happens and he gets the sack. Some teams are just clueless. Watch Carlton go down the [censored] shoot with Voss in charge. Brad.Scott was just an embarrassment. FAILED COACHES DONT WORK

Honestly...this is pathetic.

Their list isn't up to scratch & that's not Ratten's fault.

Scattergun recruiting, a lot of it under their new CEO...I think the blame lies elsewhere.

I feel for Ratten


The ‘one is enough Saints’ take yet another decisive step to ensure that they certainly won’t be contenders in 2023.

Their supporters are just about guaranteed to know what it’s going to feel like barracking for a football club that hasn’t won a flag in 57 years.  Something that not even we have had to experience. (Phew).

The corporate governance of most AFL clubs is an absolute joke. They bang on about culture and respect and then blindside the most important part of their culture, and get rid of players without warning (ask OMeara or Grundy how they feel). It’s rubbish.

Didn't the AFL require clubs to put in a clause for coaching contracts that there would only be a 6 month payout should they part ways? I believe it was for clubs that agreed to have the AFL bankroll them during the pandemic. Anyone recall this? 

Would make it far easier for clubs to sack coaches


The Saints are so reactionary. We are 8-3 sign him up!!

oh we missed finals. Sack him!

Where us the list at? What you aiming for? It’s all irrelevant

Saints would have sacked Goody in 2020, Dimma in 2016 and Bomber in 2006

Did somebody say……

ROSS LYON???!!

 

No Dean Kent no Saints

It’s funny, when he was appointed I felt like they’d got an ‘almost’ coach.  Almost did well in finals, almost got into finals, almost had a good year, and that was after he was an almost coach previously.

  • 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.

  • 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.
