Didn't the skipper just the other day question our culture? For mine Monday's game is just so important. I still can't believe whats occurred over the last 3 weeks. Even though I was pretty harsh on us prior to the  season I still had us finishing anywhere from 1 - 12. Prior the WC game I was feeling pretty good even after losing to Carlton again. But sheesh WC followed up by Freo?? I have no idea where we stand as a team atm, I'm leaning toward all talk but we still have just enough time to surge. I do believe we load at this time and trust that we've set ourselves for the Pies. To have any 2024 cred we kinda have to win this.

    Need motivation? Do it for Neale, Gus, Goody, supporters, beating effing Collingwood….. self pride. Take your pick, or mix and match.

    [censored] these posts are tiresome. 

    Do you say this in response to every word uttered by an MFC person after a loss?

    Goodwin’s fronted up to a pre-arranged interview and has answered a bunch of questions more thoroughly than he usually would. Including what may be the concession many needed to hear - that the changes we’ve made aren’t working and have robbed us of our identity. 

    Literally no one reads these articles and goes “OK all is fine now”. We all wait to see what actually happens on game day. So FFS do we have to run the “talk is cheap” thing every [censored] time?

    Is Simon Goodwin trying to bait Demonlanders into breaching the Moderators' banner warning on culture/off field behaviours, etc?

    Makes it hard for invested posters to traverse the various boundaries inherent in these topics.

    Perhaps he should just shut up and coach the team!? 🤷‍♂️

    Coach says nothing.  Demonland:  "Why isn't the club explaining what is going on?  Where's our Comms Team?"

    Coach gives interview.  Demonland:  "Blah blah blah.  Talk is cheap.   Let's see some action."

    There's a Circle of Parity developing here...

    Coach (and Team) act, successfully. Demonland: "Where was that in the last month" and/or "Too little, too late" and/or "Yeah, but what about next week?" and/or...

    Well done Kangas. Only Collingwood should ever go through a season winless.

    Fair play to Goody for opening up. He has every reason never to speak to the press.

    You could never accuse Simon of not fronting up. 

    Now we have to front up on Monday. Get on with the job.

    I have no faith the club will move Goodwin on, and I don’t think he’s getting through to the playing group. Whatever the reason, his message seems stale. The club should be looking to replace Goodwin. I can’t see this list getting to a grand final anytime soon.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
