Nicks and Longmuir are not in Victoria, not an issue 

Goodwin has underperformed in 3 Seasons along with a lot of off field distractions. 
His contract should never have been extended before last years Final Series, but that was Roffey & Pert. 

Stop talking nonsense he has underperformed in 1 season 

There is 1 premier every year

Oh wait the generic Swyl reply “we didn’t win any finals”

He had is in the top 4 from 21-23 with a flag, I know for reasons beyond your control you didn’t play but these things are bloody hard to win.

All we ask as supporters (and it isn’t accepting mediocrity) is to have us regularly pushing top 4 with a chance of winning a flag. He has done that 3 out of 4 years

 

Laughable Robbo even publishes this — the pile-on continues — shock horror!

"Diamond" Joe Gutnick is yesterday's news.

He did save the Melbourne Football Club from merger but that was in 1996. That is 28 years ago!

I remember his Presidency being full of drama and fighting with the AFL. He then lost the Presidency in 2001 or 2002 to Gabriel Szondy, from what I recall?

He still owes the Melbourne Football Club around $400,000 dollars. A debt he never paid.

He stuffed up our opportunity to have a proper Home Base at Olympic Park but unfortunately Eddie and the Magpie scum swooped in and stole the location from us!

Now in 2024 after many years in ignominy and being bankrupt (at least it says that in past newspaper articles) he has the "chutzpah" to think he speaks for us?!

In my opinion Joseph Gutnick has lost any respect he once had with most Melbourne supporters and members many years ago.

Goodwin was outcoached regularly in ‘23 & ‘24. 
I know how hard Flags are to win, but losing 4 Finals in succession and still having the same gameplan is unacceptable to me. 
That said, he will Coach in ‘25

Whether he sees the Year out is up to him

2 Finals Series out in Straight Sets on the MCG, followed by 14th. 
Using the same forward gameplan for all 3 years. 
 

I call that underperforming and a Fail

If you think the forward game plan is unchanged, you haven't been watching the games.

There were injury issues last year, plus the footy act on Brayshaw: and they lost 2 finals by a total of 9 points or so - not a fail in my book, unless anything less than a flag is a fail.

Joe has a very interesting history. I wouldn't be taking any advice from him on football matters.

What next ?  Getting Cam Schwab back as an advisor !!

Nah Cranky. I reckon we get Brian Waldron in to advise on managing our salary cap.

Why is it only my shop jobs that get taken down? 😐

I have to say it’s pretty naive of Green to meet with Gutnick. He should know that Gutnick is a regular source for the Herald Sun and hence anything spoken about could be leaked to the media.

I really hope Green sent Gutnick a text msg telling him to [censored] off and then blocked his number after the article was published.

Failing to make Prelims in 2022 and 2023 is a failure. We have failed the last 3 seasons.

Also losing Semi finals means you didn't finish in the top 4.

I love Brad Green as a footballer and a person, but this happening so incredibly soon into his Presidency tells you all you need to know about if he has the nous to be in such a role.

Give him a break. Brad's just a little bit green.

I know there’d be some 'Landers who might not agree with me, but I can confidently say that 100% of the supporters I’m friends with—whether they're in Queanbeyan or not—are absolutely clueless about what Joe is on about. It's like he's speaking in a code that only he understands, and the rest of us are just nodding along, pretending we get it!

I think he’s been talking to Abdul.

It hurts me that the only reason for this arguing is Gutnik.

Especially when Joe and both his Jewish and Gentile mates can all manage to John Lennon aside their ideological differences for one second on who may or not be responsible for the current events in the Levant to fully agree that Goodwin is not the right guy to lead the Petracca peace negotiations.

Tht is the same area as the Redlegs group and I haven't seen him at any games since he got the flick.

He was unheard of during our worst ever period between 2008 and 2014, didn't issue a murmer, all of a sudden he  wants a bit of the limelight. I will stick to my theory that the media have contacted him to continue the stirring.

Must have a new share float or IPO happening

Don't think you would have a clue about how the media operate to obtain stories and fuel the fires, if you had a few spare hours I could open your eyes to quite facts about how they go about it.

  • 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.
