Jimmy Bartel reported as leaving the GWS Giants at the end of this year

Personally I would love the Dees to reach out to him to offer him a role in our footy department - he’s done a great job at GWS and has such a great understanding of the modern game

Could be one to look at given some of the calls to refresh our coaching staff this offseason…

    Footy Director at GWS from 2018-24. Hmm... on the scale of 'squandered dynasties' that sits just above the collapse of the Mongol Khanate.

    Why?. Great player but no coaching experience. Maybe could learn on the job. Back office advisory maybe.

    We need a seriously top shelf forward coach. And maybe strategic in the mould of Yze

    A good cultural fit

    Reckon Shannon Byrnes will put in a good word?

    One of my fav non-Melbourne players and a good footy brain. Would love him at the club in a footy director type role. He doesn't have coaching experience, but if he has aspirations there then strategy would be a nice fit.

    Always found it odd that a Geelong man through and through was on the GWS board.

    Yes. Replace Alan Richardson. Fresh ideas

    Disagree entirely. I think he’s one of the few in the commentariat who has any clue whatsoever

    our next forwards coach?

    Midfield? I think he’s more focused on back office roles. Board room to FD is bit of a backwards step I think.

    I watched him on footy classified he explained in detail how the cats would dismantle our game plan, we beat them and broke their 7 game winning streak. He was a great player but we need a forward coach with proven experience and as previously mentioned an excellent game day strategist ala Adem Yze.

    Ooze might be available again soon the way the Toiges are going. Their feral fans won’t be happy

    • 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.
