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?

    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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
