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

"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.

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. I have no doubt whatsoever this role will be very temporary, even with Smith delaying his joining of the board.

This attention is, of course, not Brad's fault - But it does show a lack of understanding as well as a bit of a startling lack of prioritising. I have no ill will towards Joe, but a new President meeting with him within a week of being in the role when so many things are going on at the club at the moment, not just the current climate but also the upcoming trade period and coaching structure changes, is such a poor decision.

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

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
