At what point does the blow torch go onto Goodwin. Something has to change quickly before we waste the most talented list in the AFL.

This is a myth. We aren’t the most talented list in the AFL anymore. We have 2 genuine forwards - Fritsch and Pickett. Everyone else forward of the ball is very young or NQR. 90% or our list has stayed the same or gone backwards in the last year.

We are a 6-8 side. We haven’t innovated enough with our game plan, and have given sides far too much of a look at what we do, without enough variety. It sucks to admit, but it’s now pretty evident.

Some more scattered thoughts: We missed Lachie Hunter, Clarry in a wheelchair would be better than Harmes, Langdon has gone to pox since the haircut, Salem and Lever haven't gotten near 2021 form since then, TMac is cooked, and Gawndy hasn't really worked IMO (although it hasn't been terrible either).

We’re wasting a premiership quality list again this year. Unfortunately it looks like the end is coming quickly for some of our senior players, Gawn included :(

This year is turning into the most disappointing I can remember, and that’s because we should be right amongst it but instead lose on repeat to any decent teams. Our record against top 8 teams speaks for itself. Our gameplan this year doesn’t cut it. What a [censored] waste

We are not a quick side at all, we are starting to drop easy marks, we are easily bypassed, we are just to easy to play against.

Our Forward line is a mess, our stoppage work is third world.

We are in a world of hurt.

Goodwin need to take a leaf out of his opposition coach’s book, admit to being stubborn and shake things up. Longmuir was accused of coaching fake footy and he took the advice on board and completely shifted his team’s ball movement. 

I don’t think it’s possible for Goodwin because I have never seen him make wholesale changes mid season. Didn’t happen in 2019, didn’t happen in 2022 and it ain’t happening in 2023.

Smart coaching by freo. They new Oliver out was big and they totally tagged out viney to 2 touches for a half.

Tmac is cooked.

Jvrs too young.

Chandler too.

Lever is not someone I recognise.

Langdon , May and Anb the same.

Spargo over rated.

Max seems to have lost his mojo.

No flag for us. I'm dreading when we play the Pies.

How did he go at Casey? 1 goal only.  

Maybe happier if we don’t.  September holiday. 

Who cares? JVR only contributed 1 goal. Not good enough for a key forward. Time for change.

Glaring clearance issues continue yet 2 top rucks …. Something is clearly wrong as King said if it’s culture  it’s on the leaders & Goody … the window is now shut & cant see opening

It was a good contest but I'm worried about our inabiliry to put them away. They seemed to be running on never ending energy. We seemed stuff.

Unless we get momentum early and pummel teams, we just don't do well in tight contests.

Would love to know Goodwin's coaching record W:L for under 10 points. We just never look like winning these games.

Some dude was just chanting "Freo" and someone yelled out to go home to which he replied "I am home, I live in Fitzroy" to anyone that wanted to listen. 

Ie. Why are there so many Freo fans here?

One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough: Lever has been [censored] rubbish this season. 

Yes, but he’s playing out of position. He’s an interceptor, not a second kpd or 1 on 1.

Is this list all that? We were average post round 10 last year and we’ve been average this season. Maybe we’re just an average list.

Such an uninspiring team and coaching staff, everyone is down on form, backline couldn’t catch a cold (lever WTF!), just continue to bomb into the forward 50, never lower you eyes. Such a waste of talent in this team

But don't worry cos Jvr will crash the pack.

Why didn’t we put Kosi into the middle in the last? We were getting mauled in there time and time again. 
The game was all but lost so try something!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
