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

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
