Also, Hogan was "ill disciplined" but we're about to recruit McAdam and recruited Hunger lol

I know we got good value for all of them but gee whiz, you can't ignore the common denominator of forwards wanting to leave.

and Hogan smashed it at Freo didn’t he?

the kid wasn’t right and wanted to leave. 

zero blame on the club

Port are lucky to only be 6 goals down.

Yes, Giants are on a Demons scoring streak, keeping Port in the game, just about.

There's a lot of criticism about Goodwin but I don't think anyone here is crazy enough to think he should be sacked.

Hinkley definitely shouldn't have lasted as soon as he has.

I’ve been iffy on Goodwin for a while. I think the club needs really clear hurdles for any extension beyond the current one. 
 

I think we start with some fresh voices underneath him though and see what happens 

Can’t afford to wait too long unless one is confident of finding the next Oliver and tracc

GWS is one class above PA. In my view, I consider Pies, PA, and Syd to be on a similar level, while Melb, Carlton and Bris are better than them. GWS should beat the Pies comfortably next week, and the umpires won't be able to help the Pies much. I wouldn't be surprised if GWS won the Premiership.

Correct had social behaviour issues and would always be a risk ..  maybe the Penny dropped at gws non football state etc .. you can imagine the if he did come back and went of track, posters would say why dud we get him back!

I know Goody maybe feeling it right now but this is a summary of Hinkleys finals record with Port:

2014 - 10-1 and two games clear on top of the ladder after Round 12, didn't even make top 4.
2020 - On top of the ladder literally every round of the home and away season, lost home prelim.
2021 - Lost home prelim by 71 points against injury hit fifth placed team who went on to get smacked by 12 goals in the Grand Final.
2023 - Three games clear in the top 2 with seven rounds to go. Won't even make a prelim.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
