    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
