This. Weโ€™re 3 goals down at the start of the last and to see Clarry on the bench and Trac at full forward had me totally flummoxed. I mean surely we had to try and win some centre clearance and give ourselves a chance to gain some momentum! That looked a tad arrogant to me, anybody able to help me understand the coaches thinking?

They wanted Trac forward, Oliver on the bench may have just been a rotation thing. Honestly if we always need Oliver and Trac in the center then we'll go no where this year.

I have no inside info other than to say they are not the players they were. Not sure they ever will be again, at least at Melbourne anyway.ย 

FFS these 2 at late 20โ€™s should be in their prime physically and mentally! They are both pulling big $, sorry but whatโ€™s the excuse?ย 

If they want Trac forward should we be getting minutes into Langford? Howโ€™d he go today?

Very lack lustre , non spirited performance by the Deeโ€™s, it was like Chandler and Clarry were the only ones out there.

Not sure about Harry Sharp , hasn't impressed me at all.

That second tier after , Clarry Viney and Trac , are just too inconsistent, guys like Sparrow and Rivers just arenโ€™t standing up.

We really miss Kozzie, May and Windsor as they give us a bit of spark.

But to lose like that to North Melbourne is pathetic and very worrying.

Sparrow was good last week, didn't give much today. Riv has had a poor start to the season.

Apparently played pretty well, improving as the game went on and had a strong last qtr.

Beggars canโ€™t be choosers. Many supporters every year donโ€™t get to attend the GF.

I got to watch it on TV with my Dad, next best thing to being there.

It might be true and I wish Max all the best with whatever he may be dealing with but Goodwin should not have said this. There is no point other than to make excuses, Max dealing with other issues doesn't create a 10 goal loss. He obviously won't go into any further details so it is pointless even raising it. It's just deflection.

Here's a thought. Maybe we could buy Oscar Piastri's contract from McLaren so he could play down forward. At least he knows how to LEAD!

The result would have been a different score at the โ€˜G. We may have been beaten.ย 
Quite happy with the โ€˜21 smashing thankyou

But it was 4 years ago, and we are regressing since then

He's an ok young key forward, but he has always struggled to create separation. Our kicking to him a part of that but he doesn't know how or when to lead. Doesn't quite have the burst the best forwards have, and beyond that doesn't kick goals enough ways to be a 50-60 goal a year forward. If he isn't getting set shots, he's not in the play.ย 

Has time, but needs to start improving.ย 

Perhaps, I dunno, we should get a retired key forward in to teach him how to play the role (some call that "coaching")

Thatโ€™s ok.ย 
I just think the media and supporters havenโ€™t caught up yet that young guns from other teams are coming hard at them and they have both had problems the past few years. You gotta be very lucky to be a star year on year regardless of talent.

Yeah he was on crutches walking around the concourse at halftime. I didn't think much of it, obviously trying to limit any pressure on the foot.

One of the more bizarre press conferences you'll see

Do we play at that [censored] again this year? Hopefully not.

West Coast sometime in July/Aug

I am quite angry with today's insipid performance.

The Kangaroos totally dominated us. It was humiliating!

The Demons membership department won't be getting many calls this week!

Hard to come up with any positives from this hot mess of a game.

A few of my observations:

- Our much vaunted midfield, Max included got handed a beating.

- Our defence got handed a beating.

- Our forwards, except for Chandler, are still trying to find the ground let alone the ball.

- No teamwork or connection.

- Little evidence of any on-ground leadership.

Where to from here? the coaches do not sound like they have any answers. Giving the team a collective cuddle and making them feel loved does not look like an effective gameplan.

We could try goal kicking practice and a bit of endurance training. we missed a lot of kickable goals today and looked to run out of (interest and) puff in the last quarter.

Looking forward to less of a mess next week.

I can live in hope.

Feels like wheels are falling off after round 2. That talk in Bright was better spent maybe doing a 2km time trial. Because they didnโ€™t look like a team on the ground today.ย 

I make it nine players gone from our premiership team and canโ€™t find a player we have recruited since who would have taken anyoneโ€™s place. Happy to be wrong and missed someone.

Goodwin is an expert in saying a lot of nothing, can't stomach his pressers specially after a loss.

Agreed. Are there any players today that youโ€™d be confident to consistently hit a target inside 50 though?ย 

Lots to say, watched late as not living in Aus, but I read Goodwin's comments on Gawn and I am disgusted. What an absolutely pathetic attempt at deflecting away from his own rubbish coaching performance. Get ready for a week of questions into Max's personal life now. Max has never, ever been the type to discuss things like this and Goodwin throws him under the bus.

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, weโ€™ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.
