Rubbish comment mate.

A brilliant coaching performance against the odds tonight.

If it weren't for a few dodgy decisions we had this.

Umm no.

We needed a totally 100 % fit ruck.... if we only had one.. 

We needed to take Max away from all the ILLEGAL  scragging..   We needed to be clever we weren't.  That's down to the Coaches.  Stafford obviously has nfi.  Why does Goody allow that ?? 

We can't kick for [censored]....thats someone's dept. 

There were elements we did better tonight.

But lost at selection...and direction.

 

I will say... the 2 blokes in yellow should be in the club votes for Carlton. 

 

To all the happy clappers...yeah.. Goodwin is a [censored] genius.

Be proud Simon... grasp it...own it...    

OUT IN SETS 2 YEARS RUNNING 

9.17  fmd...

    Agree, picked absolutely the right team. 

    Need a big summer of skill work but you can’t drastically improve skills of limited players with no key forwards to influence ball movement.

    Healthy forwards and a touch of class will change things. Just a matter of whether we can snag a couple of ready to play forward and mid options, plus develop the likes of Howes, Woey, Laurie, Chandler who can potentially all take us forward.

    Thought we got outcoached tonight.

    Having Josh Schache as the unused "super-sub" was an utter waste of time!

    Simon Goodwin has a lot of "learnings" to do over the off season.

    No he didn't 

    You're somewhat skewed in your understanding mate.

    Thought you knew better. My bad

    I dont really mind Insane or Genius... but he's definitely not the latter.

    He's a victim and a slave to his ID

    I can understand having your ideas but not seeing their fallibility is another thing.

    Our game plan is a bit of a dogs breakfast..

    And the coaches need replacing.

    For my mind we need a shake up of the assistant group again to freshen the messages up. Yze off to Tigers, Stafford out all together and perhaps choccos goal kicking practice can be quietly shut down

    Agree with most of that

    Lack of composure, lack of skill development. For the most part our players have either regressed or stagnated.

    Trac same wobbles from last year, Kozzy gets carried away by the emotions, even Fritsch looked woobly in these finals.

    Our most accurate kicks are JVR and Fritta. Need one KPF that can mark our long bombs and kick goals.

    That one KPF would be Petty. When he went down, so did our chances this year.

    After tonite I am leading towards the insane category. Then again most geniuses are a stubbie short of a 6 pack as well.

    Chocco's certainly not doing the learn to kick footys he's trying to sell any favours.

    Staffords gotta go.
    He's had years to sort this forward line.
    But hasn't done anything.
    At all.

    I feel like there is genius to come yet again from Simon. Don't ask why, just one of those dumb hunches.

    A tweak in personel and he'll be the right guy again.

    I think Goodwin coached quite well tonight. He got the game on our terms for large parts of each quarter.

    The reality is that we didn’t take our chances as a team with the ball in hand. There’s not much a coach can do in that circumstance.

    Simon can take accountability for the game style, and movement of the ball to an extent, but those final shots at goal aren’t on him. Max just needed to stand up and kick one of his 2 shots. Fritsch the same.

    There needs to be a shake up. Fresh faces with new ideas.

    but tonight is on the players. They flunked it big time.

    Unfortunately Weideman lacked the physicality that JVR relishes on the field.

    It's the single thing that prevented him to become a top 10 forward in the AFL.

    And his accuracy from set shots.

    Truth be told, AFL coaches get great tenure and loyalty. If this was UK or American sport, he’d be walking on eggshells with the list he’s got and the finals output over the past two seasons. Yes, goal kicking yips cost us both games, but management/coaches wear it. EPL team managers get sacked months into the following season after winning silverware.

    Against the odds? Why was that ? We gave them the game through our poor and undisciplined play. 
    Kossie nearlly won us the game but he needs disciplinine.

    EPL is a league without any salary cap restrictions funded by blood money. I prefer the AFL way.

    That has to be on the head coach surely. And if it happens in 2 finals in a row, he's going to have to alter and evolve his coaching philosophy over summer, as the club isn't getting it done enough against the big dogs.

     

    Agreed Great call.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
