    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.
