It was always meant to happen.

GC has been a very underachieving team during his tenure.

    he can have no complaints

    sliding door moment when the Swans would not let Roos bring him to the Dees as his successor. We dodged a bullet there.

    I think that's most unfair. Who knows how he would have gone if he'd come to the MFC? Different players, different recruiting set-up, different board, different supporters. For all we know (and we'll never know, of course), he might have coached us to three Premierships by now.

    Wow surprised they did it now. Surely Hardwick is the target?

    We should definitely see if any of the Suns players want to come home as a result of everything going on up there.

    If only they had a young tall forward who could offer connection leads up the ground, is competent delivering inside 50, and a reasonable shot on goal with a bonus ability to roost it from outside 50.

    Yes, although appointment of Hardwick may also have the effect of players wanting to stay under the “master coach”.

    Unfortunately for Dew I think this had to happen.

    Their list is choc full of talent but yet they're one of the most irrelevant club in thr competition.

    They stand for nothing and I think Dimma will give them some edge and toughness about them on and off the field.

    I dunno. All things considered I didn't think he he did a bad job in the last couple of seasons. Always losing players. Built a crazy good young midfield.

    In two years, GC will be the best team in it.

    i'd rather try and pinch one of their best mids - anderson would be ideal

    i'd take lukosious over king, who is expected to sign an extension to take him thru to free agency

    It was a set up from months ago imo. Hardwick left the tigers because he knew he had that job up there. He didn’t want to quit the tiges and go straight to GC. Tge whole thing smells. Dew missed his chance with us big time.

    Really. They haven't made finals with the list they have. They fold every year like a cheap suit. And they have plenty of AFL support and the resources to succeed.

    No heart is a reflection on the coach. They've had their moments but they habitually disappoint every time they look like turning the corner.

    And i reckon Simon Goodwin would turn them into a finals team if he had the chance.

    Had a tough trot losing players over the journey but into year 6 and likely finals again is the bottom line.

    They've got a plan in place, no doubt.

    And you could say this about every sacked coach. 

    In terms of supporters, if they had any they would have been on his case long ago.

    • 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?
