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 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.

    • 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.
