    Yeah someone younger who has an attacking mindset, I can't watch this slow boring [censored] anymore, North have been a better team to watch than us. 

    Goodwin has one coaching style and he has refused to change it for years.

    We are boring, we won't get crowds to watch this crud but we will be stuck with him cos the club loves him and they won't sack him.

    Not sure the coach is the problem the list is wrong, the game has shifted from contest and defence to speed, and skills is a must and without kozzy and Windsor we have none of it

    Not too sure, but Goodwin has got to go.

    Feel like we need a coach that is not all about “lovey dovey” relationships and can give the group a good bake.

    Trac will probably again want out, so too Kozzie. Clarry not too sure, none of May, Gawn, Lever or Viney are getting any younger either.

    Time to face reality and recognise our time at the top is well and truly over.

    We have McVee, Rivers can be good.

    Start building with the youngsters trade most of the vets, whoever has any value.

    Round 2. Should have given Goodwin the big Axe last year 

    Would have if it was up to me. Players love him apparently. I love anyone who lets me sit on the coach and do nothing and tell me I’m special

    Anyone who has a game plan that includes fast ball movement and hires a goal kicking coach.

    Thank you for educating me. I didn't know the coach had nothing to do with the list build.

    The only negative with Longmire is his record on grand final day, but that won’t be an issue for years when it comes to the MFC.

    Rebuilt Sydney really well after 2019-2020 and perhaps he can guide us through a rebuild of ours.

    Simpson reeks of Goodwin 2.0, it's a no for me.

    Should be more bold and try a new guy like Hawthorn did.

    You actually need to have a look at yourself absolutely shizen post, but the way you carried on the game day thread should have picked this.

    Shocking loss yes absolutely unacceptable by the players but

    Sack the coach and Retire Gawn in Rd 2 

    FFS

    I did not say retire Gawn. I want to really think what are we going to do with our veteran players.

    Wether you like it or not they won't play forever.

    Are we rebuilding?

    Do we think we have even a remote chance to compete in the next 3 season?

    Look at the way Mitchell has matched his game plan to the skill set his playing group. 

    Goodwin wants to play a brand of football that his players either can't or won't execute. If he won't change, it is time to go.

    Yes we can compete, did you watch last week, did we compete yes.

    Gawn was BOG last week 

    Losing and shocking performances happen.

    Seen it before and seen it turn.

    You are entitled to your opinion. Hard for me to see us compete (i.e win a final, which we haven't done since September 2021).

    I think we are in the cross roads of a potential rebuild. Which is not so bad considering the talent we have collected in the draft the last 3 years.

    Goodwin and Tim Lamb have completely butchered our list management.

    Fancy offering a cooked Viney a contract extension all because Norf bluffed us.

    Completely disheartened with this footy club.

    Jaymie Graham. Just like how most credit Yze for our flag, Simpson has had similar praise for Graham as forward coach of West Coast from 2017-19. 

    Not too sure of his tactical nouse, but even hearing Riewoldt positively speak about him in the past from his time with St Kilda, it may be a risk worth taking.

    A young coach with a lot to prove and will no doubt be a refresher to go hand in hand with a restart for the club. Worked with McCrae and Mitchell, so with another year of assistant experience at Fremantle, he would no doubt be better for it should a club like us come calling.

    We still have a nucleus of a very good list who are all seriously underperforming.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
