Good to see a response yesterday. IMO that’s a par win against a club that’s rock bottom.

Question for the panel.

What will it take on-field for you to Trust the team again? Leading into next season.

For me what I need to see in the last 3 games of the year, is them having a genuine crack. I want us to win 1 maybe 2 of the last 3 and if so, I can see a path forward. But if we turn up half interested have to listen to same post match rubbish I’m off us until I see something to believe in.

Are we better than any of those 3 teams? If not doesn't that mean we'll lose to all of them? Of course we should go in thinking we can win them, play well and at the very least not embarass ourselves. But, especially given all the c**p this year, I hardly think three honourable losses will add more grief.

    I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, and after last week’s final-quarter collapse, a comprehensive mauling like that felt cathartic. But honestly, how much can we really take from a win against a side floundering as badly as the Eagles are right now? They’ve managed just one win all season and were missing key players like Waterman, Reid, Yeo, Allen, and McGovern. I’d go so far as to say most VFL teams would’ve rolled them on the weekend, and any finals contender would’ve blown them off the park even more than we did. The real test comes over the next three weeks against genuine opposition. That’s when we’ll get a clearer picture of where we truly stand.

    @Demonland welcome back  👏👏👏WE MISSED YOU

    Welcome Home Minions GIF

    Lots to talk about 

    The good…

    Jack Viney - broken hand, no worries - he’s a tough warrior - 8 tackles & 13 clearances. He’s as tough as anyone ever to wear red and blue

    Caleb Windsor - well… quiet for three quarters and struggled (7 possessions)… then 9 with his run and carry through the middle and hitting targets … that’s what we want to see

    Clayton Oliver. I think we saw glimpses of the old Clarry … he was good and saw some reminders of his run away from contest 

    Fritsch. 4 straight. Showed his elite goal sense and classy goalkicking. He’s still a weapon and Dees need to keep him in red and blue

    Max Gawn - Led from the front. He’s locking in the ruck All Australian 2025 role. He’s a legend. Surely they can’t think Grundy or Cameron or Xerri are better this year.

    Christian Salem - Was brave in defence and I had him in as one of our best. Metres gained 400 , much better impact with the footy (although still looked slow at times and gets exposed too often across the grass)  

    Harvey Langford (full name of course ) I think he’s back into rising star contention. Thought he might get rested but looked still full of run. Only knock on him… get a right foot. Even Bont has to kicK it on his right sometimes

    JAI CULLEY - great story. He could be a player. Not sure where he fits though. He’s too slow for the wing. He got caught out a few times as Eagles ran past or away from him. Good marking. Good kick. Perhaps half forward .

    Loved the 21.13. Accurate goalkicking. Wow. Yes low pressure Yes inside and under the roof

    so three games to go. Are we a chance in any ? Unlikely !!! we again had

    • Too many “Missed tackles”

    • Lazy disposal and turnovers

    • Stupid50s given

    • Up and under kicks into forward 50 (need forwards leading and low direct passes)

    Wing positions and predictions. If Jai can lock down a wing role in 2026, where does that leave Lindsay?

    Thoughts on seeing Jai/Langdon back on the wing. Lindsay at HB and Windsor continuing an on-ball roll.

    Why have the footy department been hiding Jai Culley until 4 rounds to go? He is exactly what we have been needing from any of our traded in recruits. Tall, athletic, able to play forward, wing, mid and can take a great grab and kick a goal. Another blight on our selections throughout the year.

    I thought he played much better in the Seniors than any of his Casey games.

    I definitely had trouble with Demonland for a few hours post St Kilda. Wasn't sure if it was thousands like me, logging in to vent or whether Andy had pulled the pin on the website in disgust. Either is understandable.

    I couldn’t get on either. I just assumed it went into meltdown

    Surely @Demonland needs to put out a Post Goodwin Sacking Podcast this Thursday.

    The forum is owed one after the Stkilda game.

    It's funny I had not heard this podcast until after this morning's news. A lot of the podcast then seemed like ancient history. I know you have more in ife than d land podcasts but another in light of the coach being sacked is needed.

    That'd be nice. But I'm sure the sacking will be front and centre in the next podcast (and the teams first game result after it.)

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
