Slow ball movement stagnated forward line. Time to go if you care about the club Goody you should take sole responsibility for the disasterous year we have had. We need to rebuild and Goody is not the man to take us there unless you want a Simpson type form line. Roffey if you are worth your weight you should sack him now. Time to release Jeffo

    Goodwin needs to be moved into the Chief Vibe Coordinator role and replaced with an actual match day coach

    Yeah, nah, goody is the only coach in my lifetime to take us too a flag, get a few draft picks and bounce back, I think Goody is doing amazingly well considering the number of young players in the team that are not all top draft picks like gold coast or hawks, I’d almost say Goody is coach of the year even though we missed finals

    Goodwin still deserves to turn things around next season but he's burnt his tickets up quicker than any other coach in recent memory. 

    He has coached poorly this year. And as a club we've been poor this year just as we were in 2019. It might take a while to right this ship. But it's definitely the end of an era.

    There is no way we Sack our premiership coach after 1 bad season, we were top 4 3 years running no other club comes close...we have had the worse run of injuries and have blooded some decent kids, and still in the fight for the 8.. 

    With a decent preseason and getting our boys cherry ripe with a additional couple players replacing Gus and Smith we are still in position to be top 4 next year

    I think Goody has to make some changes (from my very humble point of view). I'd love to see him get a little more creative with tactics and player positions, and change the way he uses the sub. But I'm not convinced we need a new coach right now. I can't see anyone on the open market offering more than he does at the moment. Plus, having to deal with all the [censored] that comes with finding and adjusting to a new coach is exhausting.

    I'm not in the 'sack Goody' camp but going out in straight sets two years in a row compounds the issue. I still believe he can turn it around next year, we just need some pizzaz, if you will.

    2022 and 2023 were both bad seasons though.

    The fault here lies squarely at the feet of Tim Lamb. 

    His inability to recruit a single senior player to add to this team is a travesty. Worse, those he has added are genuinely negatives from a competitiveness and physicality POV. 

    To maintain a competitive list you need both trading and drafting to be on point. We built our flag with draft + Langdon, Lever, Hibberd, Melksham, May. We haven't added a single solid piece since. 

    I said at the start of the year that we were a Trac injury away from missing finals - I was right. I'm not sure what we expected tbh when our midfield depth consists of Laurie, Woewoedin, Tholstrup. They're just kids - but it's just not at the level. We knew Oliver would be poor. I don't think any of us thought Viney would be this poor. Deloitte might have broken him...

    We simply had to add some senior, good players to this team after the flag. Richmond went and got Tom Lynch. We got Grundy...

    Stick to your team sheets, they’re easier to ignore.

    It's crazy how inept our trading has been, while our drafting has been mostly excellent.

    Double straight sets a success is it? Win at least one of those and we probably have a flag. 
     

    I think it’s the right time for a FD reset. Things have turned stagnant and we need to search for our next premiership coach.

    His ball movement is too slow he's too defensive he will have to completely change his coaching style to be successful again so why waste our time with him at the helm. A new coach will be a breath of fresh air to a stale list.

    Goodwin won't be going anywhere so stop wasting your breath, but a new raft of assistants would probably be a good idea.

    Bevo has never been afraid of trying things and moving players around. Goodwin never makes a move until the game is gone. Their situations are poles apart.

    Brayshaw was a huge huge loss.

     
    Losing Trac halfway through the year wasn’t part of the plan either. 
    Next year will tell us more.

    Goodwin needs to reinvent himself.

    Goodwin is a frustrated coach but this year has been defined by injuries. 

    Injuries and atrocious trading.

    Bevo was close to getting booted this year. Funny how he has turned it around. We however go the other way.

    • 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 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.
