There is an ascent coming the way of the Tigers and it is not too far away; a few more experiential opportunities for their team , and its newer components and they will be off like rockets. Yze is a brain, as he showed onfield for the Dees. I really feel our negligence in not keeping him, to ascend (at least a year ago) to Goodwin's position, was a critical miscalculation; geez, it's more than mere coaching, it is the dismantling of our DNA - there are quite a few retired Dees who could form the best 'coaching coterie' that the game has ever seen and it would bring with it the pride of the red 'n blue including an amazing level of resolve to be part of the team worthy of continuous successes.

Goodwin held the cup aloft

Ooze won it

And folk wonder why we're disappearing into the abyss since he left. ... hmmm

    Saw Richmond live on Saturday - id say they start faves against us. Quality is lacking in spots as you would expect however they are playing as a connected unit and work in unison.

    It's pretty rare to see a team as disconnected as we are. Something is really off this year.

    You're right Deemania, we were such a badly run club to renew SG and let Yze go. Now we get to watch our team swap places with them. Other clubs and coaches are laughing at us.

    In that Grand Final, Ooze did have an impact .... I remember the chat between Gawn, Viney, Tracca and Oliver as they came out of the half-time break after the Coach's tirade and 'advice'. At that point, the Mighty Dees were in real trouble of winning the game using Badloss' method. The boys in the centre, just before the bounce down at the start of the 3rd Q, obviously said to themselves and 'distributed' the message they had across the team, that they were going to play the rest of the GF in another manner. Their manner. Bang, bang, bang - they did it! I thought at the time: Surely Yze had something to do with this - Grand Final opportunities rarely come around, there was too much to lose, there could be another way ... and here it is, boys!

    Don't know that the turn around in the third quarter was really anything to do with coaching specifically. All our gun players just went to another level and we started walking out the front of clearance and nailing every shot at goal at the same time the Dogs were hitting a wall.

    I attended a regional footy night , Feb 22

    A number of the lads and Ooze.

    I didn't get much of a chance to talk with him though I did get to say " Adem, not sure what you said or did, but thankyou" He simply grinned.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
