Goody showing the guts to make tough calls where it matters.

Key defenders with 0 mobility, who can't get close to a ground ball are a massive liability.

Fast, agile, athletic defenders are where it's at.

Oh yeah Goodie is an absolute genius with his selections & tough calls. He has rushed back unfit or underprepared players for the last 4 years.

In fact it's almost become his trademark.

And hasn't it worked out wonderfully well for us.

    Excellent news on Lever… and i certainly hope Viney goes forward.

    Windsor is a bit stiff, but he has certainly plateaued from last year.

    Goodwin is Coaching for his job

    I have tipped GC, maybe it’s worth changing that

    Windsor has 2nd year blues

    Windsor had that foot infection at that critical end-of-pre-season/start-of-season period and has been playing catch-up ever since.

    I actually thought he might have been rested or given time to refind himself a bit earlier - but reinforcements are thin on the ground, there aren't exactly a heap of players at Casey banging the door down for wing/HB positions.

    Disappointed to see Windsor out, excited to see Jeffo and Kolt back in

    Your premise is laughable but in any case, these aren't just Goodwin's calls.

    People here seem to think the club is run like Mooroopna thirds where the coach does everything- including putting out the cones.

    Viney needs to move out of the midfield

    Sharp and Kolt provide bugger all

    Laurie will be a good player at another club as will Roo

    And Petty still gets a gig [censored]!!!

    Petty

    Which is why he'll keep his spot.

    I’m only here for the outrage.

    I LOLOLOLOL at the fact the clown thinks he’s made some sort of selection statement by dropping a defender despite defending well (but not dropping the one who had 7 kicked in him) and 2 kids but then keeping Petty in the side

    Dropping JVR over Petty shows Goodwin isn’t actually serious with his “selection statements” and hopefully the players see through it as well

    Cannot wait for this contract to run down because the damage he does to this footy club in the meantime is going to be irreparable

    Turner has passed TMac as second (and third) key defender.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
