Gawn's multiple comments for a start

But also several players I have spoken to

Was not a happy camp in 2024

And so if the issues haven't resolved?? Then what?

    Time for goody to go with 18 months ago. I fear it is too late for this list and he will leave once we have truly hit rock bottom. My kids no longer follow AFL and I’m on the way out. 
     

    i didn’t buy a family membership for the first time in decades last year and won’t buy a membership while he is at the club. 

    How did you survive the Neeld years?

    Were Sydney missing Heeney or Warner?

    Sydney weren't missing Heeney until they were: in the grand final. Heeney had a stress fracture and look how that turned out for the team.

    Really?  What do you base that on?  And don't say from the media.  As Clarry at the Best and Fairest himself said, "don't trust the media". 

    “I really want to be around to implement the review findings and basically provide some stability because the next six months is going to be so important to effectively reunite the club,” Smith told the Herald Sun.

    We’ve had a review of the football department and Goody has now been cleared by whatzisname of anything to do with drugs as has been falsely reported. Time to move on …

    That was me who stated Brisbane's injuries and I wholeheartedly agree with you that they have a clearly better list than us with an abundance of "non top 10 draft picks" youth that stepped up big time in the likes of Lohmann and Morris.

    However, they'll clearly welcome back McCarthy and Coleman next year. 

    And be improved also with Doedee plus Levi Ashcroft and Sam Marshall as f/s and academy players. Not sure McCarthy will step back in as he replace Cameron or LoMan. But he will add the depth factor like Gardner also. Coleman is a bona fide A grader if he picks up from where he left playing. 

    However our depth should be much improved with all the youngsters with another pre season gaining AFL fitness and bodies. Even some of our role players should have greater fitness and form as most had so so 2024 campaigns. Bowey Melksham Petty Chandler and even Salo and Maysie can all be more valuable. 

    And if Trac and Clarry are back to best or near best that will make for a big difference in our midfield and Sparrow is the big question if he fulfills his potential with performances of a 5/6 year veteran!

    One thing for sure it must be a great weight off Simon’s mind going forward being vindicated in a national newspaper for all to see.

    I read the full statement & I'm not sure anyone was actually vindicated.

    I'm just glad it's over & both parties can get on with their respective lives.

    CF they said that claims against Simon were proved to be false and that everyone was sorry for the hurt that had been caused to SG and his family.!! Pretty straight forward for mine CF.

    Well, CF, that is just the miserly, ungenerous response I would expect. "The allegations were false and had no basis in fact". What rises could possibly be said?

    No not straight forward. The statement refers to one particular allegation found to have no substance however over the course of this disastrous journey  allegations were made about several behavioural issues.

    Sorry CF not interested in heresay this was the allegation that burdened Simon and his family for four years and now it has been put to bed I realise that people who dislike him still have their axes to grind.

    Does he survive an 11th-13th finish / 10 to 11 wins?

    I understand there are a lot factors and reasons behind a win/loss record but you’d have to say it would be a very line ball call.

    Unless we have some major performance lifts from our 5-15 ranked players finishing around 10th is likely.

    There won't be any sacking simply because the club has had too much bad press. A managed exit would be my guess in 2026.

    Anyway let's hope 2025 delivers some fun matches

    I would be surprised if we don't finish top 4 and give it a real shake in 2025...

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
