Green bristled in those early-season interviews where he was called an interim president.

Well, if he disagrees with that title, he can demonstrate it in the next few weeks.

needs to be moved on or to the goal kicking coach position, unbelievable how him or someone else hasn’t done that yet. at the end of the day 99% of our loses over the past 4 years are down to goal kicking and poor selection the senior coach is in charge of training and has the final say on thursday afternoons……

    Where is Brad Green? Writing letters to members through pre season, haven’t heard from him for a while now.

    Richardson, Lamb, Goodwin, who is keeping this lot accountable, as what they have put together this year and last on and off the field is pathetic!

    I can’t comprehend how the currents in charge can take us forward.

    How do we attract players to our club and members with what we are producing.

    Change is needed.

    The one in the grease-paint with the comically over-sized shoes.

    I've resented Trac somewhat for what he did end of last year, and have been hypercritical of his footy since then.

    But you need to know when to look in the mirror and realise that you're the problem. Trac needs to be politely asked to sit down in front of the members and asked one question: "what is wrong with the football club?"

    Let him talk for as long as it takes, no details spared and use specific examples. And if this is what it takes then after he helps us we will help him find a new club.

    Strangely enough though, the off field leadership is not an area of concern for me. Steve Smith returns in September and will be handed the presidency, and at almost the same time Paul Guerra will begin as CEO. Both these people impress me.

    It really concerns me...for a start I don't know whether Smith is the man for the job but he is encumbered by a board that has taken us from sweets to boiled lollies.

    This is a board most on here were happy to back.

    Guerra has zilch AFL football experience.

    September means another lost year.

    Zero experience for Guerra and off field, the club has been asleep at the wheel ever since Green was brought onto the board.

    EGM incoming.

    They've been asleep at the wheel since around 2021, got lucky with the flag but all the in fighting around the club has killed it.

    ...and all the Mr Magoo's around here voted for the status quo...

    The letter from Brad Green in November last year talking about the review is just laughable now, “we think we have the list and coaching staff to take us back to finals in 2025” nothing to see here.

    But not the Board. They need to put their big-boy pants on, go direct to Goodwin, brush aside his premiership medallions and Malcolm Blight medals, and ask him for a plausible explanation of what is going on and a plausible plan to recover. The CEO and Football Dept have been impotent.

    The members had a chance to stir up the club by bringing in some new blood and give the board a bit of a rocket at the last board election, instead they all voted for the status quo.

    The board is not running this club two members are and should have been voted out last election

    Lack of interest and delusion about where the club sat in the scheme of things have delivered us to a place where it will take years to fix. BLAME THE BOARD and the puppeteers behind them including our sacrificial lamb GREEN!

    Club remains a joke so remember the board is the problem and ultimately reponsible

    That's all very well, but the rage here against anything to do with the Deemocracy group, and the inherent support for board manipulation to retain the status quo, was palpable. Mostly from the same people whinging about the whole of this season.

    So your saying the board is great and shouldn't have been challenged

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
