Dew could get a job on a cruise ship out of Florida as an ice cream vendor. 

And if he was he would go broke....

    What was the scuttlebutt around Jennings leaving us? Did him and Goody clash?

    I know there was no 6-6-6 in 2018 but some of our offensive work was bloody good with Jennings there.

    Yeah , ice cream is food so presumably its free with your supa buffet lunch and dinner extravaganza.

    Dew would definitely pass for a fitness instructor on a Carnaval cruise ship. Some of those yanks are enormous pigs and have to be brought on board with machinery.

    Offence was good, but defence not so good... partly personnel, partly far too aggressive.

    Jennings is behind the GWS game plan that could well win them the flag this year after. After a slow first half they have been one of the form teams in the second half of the season and I reckon will beat the Filth tonight.

    I think GWS will win tonight too, but you reckon the head coach might be behind GWS' plan or nah?

    Not fussed about Stuart Dew's weight. If he personally wants to get fit and healthy that's totally up to him.

    Other options include; Andrew McQualter, Leon Cameron, Blake Caracella, Cameron Bruce, Brett Ratten, Daniel Giansiracusa, Scott Burns, Ashley Hansen, Justin Leppitsch, Nigel Lappin, Steven King and Matthew Knights are a few names worth considering.

    I would also definitely inquire with Trent Cotchin and Joel Selwood to see if they are interested in a coaching role.

    Not sure Goody is valued anywhere like a Hardwick or Clarko, but hard to say a coach on the rise shouldn’t attach themselves to the Dees midfield. 

    Reckon the Dees forwards are a huge opportunity too for a good coach to come in and fix them up 

    And I don’t think he should be unless he can win 3 flags

    We need to cast the net high and wide our next assistant coach is waiting in the wings and will relish the opportunity to coach our midfield group with their own inputs on how to make us better. It may be someone mentioned on this site and it might be someone from left field. Our FD will already be in full search mode it’s not like they don’t have the real info on all their opponents or know who is innovative and cutting it up at another club. We will see.!!!

    Joel Selwood would be fantastic. 

    Im not a fan of Stewy Dew as a coach. Politically correct people might not like it being said, but a coach presenting themselves to young footballers in a very overweight (practically obese) physical condition is not a good look. How can others take your messages about discipline and getting the best out of yourself as an athlete, when you yourself are clearly not practicing what you preach? Harsh but unfortunately I think a valid opinion about Dew. 

    I completely agree, and no disrespect to Stewie Dew (seems like a nice enough bloke) but in my opinion a fit strong coach who can practice what he preaches will get more respect than a fat unfit coach. Look at Leigh Matthews in his coaching days, looked tougher than most of the players, even as an older coach at Brisbane.

    Not sure why everyone is so keen on Stewie Dew (repeated failure at Suns) and Ratten (perennial mid-table coach) to replace someone who was the matchday coach at the Dee's.

    Much rather try an untested at senior level Michael Barlow than either of those two. Cam Bruce or Justin Leppitsch is probably ideal though.

    Who knows how he will go. He wasn’t a good midfield coach though, just like Stafford isn’t a forward line coach, and like Goodwin isn’t a competent coach. I’m indifferent to Yze departing, as we didn’t best utilize him when he was here.

    Personally I would like to see Goody coach up in the box watching and making moves but come down from time to time but as i said it is my only my personal view.

    Same.  At least during the first 10 minutes or so at the start of the game,  after half time and/or each quarter.

    Ensuring the shape is as per what you train and game is on your terms across each area of the field before coming down as the main voice / guide with the players at ground level.

    Need to see what the oppo is bringing with match ups, shape & transitional / stoppage methods/structure as well.

    I just think you're potentially missing too much from the get go and spending the entire match down at ground level.

    Ultimately you are answerable if the oppo have changed their expected modus operandi or a few key match ups / shape of their zone / extra number/s at contest etc and for whatever reason those in the box either aren't seeing it, or even if they are, maybe they're not as concerned about the effect (less experienced / diff way of seeing the game) than you as the more experienced head coach might be.

    I thought Ratten was pretty much done with footy now after leaving the assistant role with North?

    Impression i had was he didn't want to comtinue in any sort of significant role in general and had had enough.

    Or did i miss something?

    Agree DD Brett Ratten looked done with footy when he pulled the pin at the Roo’s and I don’t blame him.!!

    PS - DD Yze was the voice but Goody has Richo and Chaplin in the box feeding match day info back via Yze throughout the game and he obviously had great confidence in that trio. If he started running up and down to the box it would undermine the confidence of the group in the box.!!

    Yeah and he'd spend half the game in the stairwells..

    In the prelim both McRae and Kingsley coached from ground level. They are both doing alright at coaching.

     

    As for replacing Yze,  what about Mick Stinear? He seems to be able to coach.

    I reckon he'd be a great Ice Cream salesman purely for the fact that he'd be respected.

    Bold thing to say about a guy who has taken the team to a flag and 3 consecutive top 4 finishes.

    It would be an enticing position as you are practically the game day coach of the team with Goodwin downstairs. 

    Yze was obviously very good but our ball movement was really quite poor and our skill execution and decision making also under enormous pressure because of our ‘defence first and defence last’ game style. I hope we get someone to release the shackles and that will make for a happier and less boring team.

    No idea who that would be but we will get someone good - that’s what good clubs do.

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.
