A very good listen

Out of all the passionate nonsense these guys were dribbling on this podcast, I nearly crashed my car when they all agreed Buckley was the ideal Goodwin replacement. How many coaches have won premierships coaching their second team this century?

I get some supporters find this stuff cathartic, but 95% of the conversation either contradicted something said earlier in the pod, or just made no rational sense whatsoever.

I agreed with about 90% of what they said

I've always found (at least 90% of the time) when people say it's a good listen what they really mean is these guys agree with my thinking...

Exactly right. But there were one or 2 things i disagreed with

Just saved me a listen because this is exactly how I thought it would go.

They have @Demonland covered in terms of MFCSS 90% of the time too.

The DeeBrief.. lols.

You know you're scraping the barrel when you're taking these guys guys.

 

I had low expectations but i didn't think it was too bad.

the guy in the baseball cap not bad. the other 2, I wouldn't pay too much attention to.

They discuss the same issues we do here. Some of their prescriptions though. Why anyone thinks Nathan Buckley is the answer is beyond me. Took a premiership pies list and drove it into the ground. Plus he's been sitting on a couch for 3 years.

I’m a subscriber to the DeeBrief but their content can be very reactionary

And sometimes it’s just hard to get through because they won’t stay on topic for more than a minute before someone else jumps in

Regardless they’re just Dees fans going through it at the moment like we all are - and FWIW I agree with the overall sentiment on the need for change

But if your answer is Nathan Buckley then it’s a good thing you’re not at the club making these decisions 🤣

Yep as weird as it seems a rookie coach is the way to go, you would think experience would be helpful but it seems to work against coaches the longer they are in the system

Yeah, to be clear the last thing I want to do is start a Deebrief pile on. I listen to them probably once a week on average, but take them for what they are - nuffie fans with little to no idea about the inner workings of the club or what's going right or wrong on field (like all of us posting on here).

Depends how you like your hyperbole I guess.

Surprised they scored an interview with Greenie considering the way they rage about everything.

Sounds like an ideal candidate for the saints

If toxicity is your thing you should watch some of the EFL fan channels

Deebrief very tame in comparison

That touches on the most interesting thing about this edition for me. Adrian, who runs the pod, normally "toes the party line" which no doubt assists with access to Club officers and employees.

They have reached an anti-Simon view and he was happy for that to be aired.....

Yes the Buckley talk was certainly overdone…

The episodes with Ryan from the Demon Army are the better ones. He's very measured, articulate and non-reactionary, while still being passionate.

I felt they were taking the [censored] a little bit on the Nathan Buckley topic. Maybe just desperation to have someone other than Simon.

I am also desperate 😅😭

Big Changes are needed, there’s no doubt. Last Year’s Review was a sham, so the problems, whatever they are, have got worse. I am just interested to hear guys talking, who are 30 years younger than me, I don’t want them to go through the pain that i went through Decade after Decade.

This Current Situation could well be the Fork in the Road

‘26 cannot be a Rinse and Repeat

Agree, Buckley is not the answer.

Some horrific superiority complexes here.

Some very passionate dees fans doing what they love. Provide content (invaluable for overseas fans like myself) for basically $0. Pile on is unnecessary.

If any of the guys are reading - keep being authentic. I love your work as much as I love Andy, George and Binman. Don't have to agree to appreciate 👏 👏 👏

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seemed as though The DeeBrief guys were having a crack at Goody for not playing Nathan Jones in the GF. Didn't NJ leave the Perth hub during the '21 grand final week to be with his wife who was about to give birth to twins?

Also, while I agree that change is desperately needed, can we please never consider Nathan Buckley as the coach of the Melbourne Football Club ever again?

  • The Clayton Oliver Thread

    Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
