Goodwin won't coach again after Melbourne, everyone else knows he's incompetent.

Bevo way too tough for our playing group.

😂🤣 Have 19 words ever been more hilariously wrong?

    I'd almost reckon that Bevo could re-kindle his Demons association - and he has the coaching experience. Certainly, for me, an improvement on the incumbent albeit a rather massive re-design. Amusing thoughts.

    I would personally like to see someone come in with a bit more mongrel, I think that's where we lack.  Skills are there, we need hunger and some more edge.

    Whether we need a new coach or coaching team.   We definitely need more mongrel. 
     

    far too soft. You should never share a joke with someone who has DELIBERATELY ended a mates career.

    When you see a player shake hands with a thug who ended one of your team mates career you know we are as soft as butter.

    Wait who did that?  I did not see that, thankfully, I would have threw up on the spot.

    Surely if Goodwin was thinking of moving to Adelaide (the city) at the end of 2025, there would have been succession discussions with Yze and he never would have taken the poisoned chalice Richmond job?

    yeah soft as

    Trac just played on with broken ribs and ruptured spleen

    not physically or mentally soft, our Trac. He is just able to differentiate during game with pre or post game

    Its a mental thing. In your wildest dreams could you imagine a Pies player doing the same thing? The pies just wanted to win more than us it was obvious to everyone.

    I don't agree that Trac is mentally soft. quite the opposite

    Yep, I could see Moore or Sidebottom doing the same thing

    Not a Viney or Maynard though

     

    I agree with your last comment of course, they were far more committed and wanted it more

    A couple of years ago we took the field against Sydney, and May moved to shake hands with Buddy Franklin, who ignored him and walked straight by. It [censored] me off at the time but in reflection it was a solid F-you psychological move. I would have felt much better had this been our modus operandi regarding Thug Maynard against the Pies.

    Not that it would happen, but it would be funny to replace a coach accused of wasting a golden era with another coach accused of wasting a golden era.

    If you think he can coach then i'm happy for you. Proof is there that he's a stubborn autocrat who's wasted the last 2 years. Shache as a sub in a semi-final tells you all you need to know.

    He will not be a head coach at AFL level again. Go and read the Adelaide boards and see what they think of one of their own as a coach.

    That was Goodwin's single worst moment as coach of the MFC. Intentionally playing one man down in a high stakes final.

    Carlton bring on a fresh sub in Ollie Hollands, on a warm night, who was instrumental in their game winning passage of play with 45 second left. 

    Meanwhile our sub was a 200cm maligned player with absolutely no intention of bringing him on.

    He’s got more flags than either of their coaches. 
     

    also, going to big footy to get a feel for things is generally wise. I think most club executives and performance teams do the same.

    ...and as we have seen, the outcome is that under Badloss' tutelage, the MFC must tolerate 'going nowhere' in advance, so very often.

    The suggestion of Goodwin going to Adelaide or Port has their respective BigFooty posters petrified.

    They don't want anything to do with him.

    I suggested to my Adelaide cohort a trade of Goodwin for Darren Burgess and almost got poleaxed for it.

      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.
