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.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

      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?
