 So if people want goody sacked then who do you want as coach?

it's not about replacing him. It's about moving someone on who isn't right. You go to the talent pool. Three years ago, Mcrae was a fly in the wind. The Pies lost to West Coast at Marvel and then went on to play a Prelim and a flag a year later. He has them playing with a hunger.

Goodwin has clearly lost it. You don't hold onto a rotten spud just because you can't replace it. He's got them playing bottom 4 football. It is so bloody obvious.

    Start planning for 2025 and beyond play the kids, collect the draft picks, trade out for currency.

     

    I fully expect Goodwin will stick to his Tried and true formula ie Blind faith in his favourite 23.

     

    Lollll it just keeps getting better!

    WHY AM I STILL WATCHING THIS? 🤪

    Half of our players genuinely seem petrified of being tackled or taking a bump today.

    Good question. For me it's not a case of wanting him sacked. It's just a case of fresh blood and enthusiasm. Especially some better selections like Laurie, Petty and Billings. Even Sparrow.

    But I guess it's a knee jerk reaction and I don't have any ideas to replace him with.

    I know we need a better goal kicking coach..4. 13 to 13 5.

    Also a coach to get our defenders coordinated and talking to one another.

    Possibly a Ruck coach to have Max's taps go to our advantage too.

    Food for thought.

    Also a motivational speaker to arrest our slow starts. But that's probably on Goody.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Our culture is summed up by the fact Oliver is playing with out doing a full preseason … what’s that saying ??? Goodwin has lost the plot & taken us back 10yrs , hope Kate Roffie is happy and demanding large crowds & members to watch this garbage

    Have you happy clappers given up yet? Goodwin is awful, we've had a generational squad and won one flag.. it's a joke. I hope we all enjoy 21 as it's the only flag we will ever win 

    anyone at the game 

    get home safe

    13.5 to 5.13 tells some of the story, but it doesn’t show the lack of fight shown by many. Good to be close on expected score I guess. Will help me sleep tonight.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
