    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.

    John Longmire please.

    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.

    Longmire or Simpson

    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: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
