@Neil Crompton round 2 NM game had already seal Goodies exit. The players were disinterested. Was the most pathetic onfield performance i have EVER witnessed. Any club leader would also have recognised this - im a tally astounded he wasn't walked out of the club then and there. If that time correlates with coffee with Bucks - it means our i coming Pres is 100% in tune with the needs of the club going forwards.

I thought the season was done after round 2.

I thought Goodwin was done after round 5. That loss to the Bombers in Adelaide was unforgiveable.

    I'm shocked that a coaching search panel hasn't already been formed.

    It’s about optics. The appearance of a process is the process. Think of it as a kind of insurance for the board, so they can say ‘We went through a thorough process’.

    Look at Andrew Dillon. Took the AFL a year of multimillion dollar recruitment fees to discover that, unbelievably, the best man for the job was in the room at the initial meeting.

    It's not about re energise of the Pies.

    McCrae can actually coach game plan and structures.

    So can Buckley. You don’t accidentally make grand finals or deep finals runs.

    easy to remember that one slightly worse kick from dom sheed and bucks is a premiership coach.

    All this coaching panel nonsense…

    As if we haven’t been calling candidates for weeks. Green said as much.

    Though some will suggest otherwise the writing was on the wall after 24.

    Cracks started to appear as soon as we lost against Carlton in 2023.

    We have a list that can be built on. Figure out how to trade Trac to Hawthorn and Clarry to Geelong.

    Bucks has plenty to work with if we can move on some of the old guard that are holding us back.

    It seems Buckley is keen, it maybe because he doesn't see us as a basket case. That being the case he gets the job. The other experienced head coaches don't grab me.

    Luggage nowhere in sight for him today, either!

    Who ever is coach,will they have the balls or the backing to move on Salem,Viney and Tracc,if not its more of the same

    Salem is a must.

    Viney, can't do that to a heart and soul player.

    Petracca, we'll see.

    Lever’s the one for me. Have to trade him. Disco’s only going to get better in his role. Enough there in Petty Disco May Adams Derksen Howes to cover him. There’s a club out there silly enough to give a first rounder for him, North or Bulldogs. He’s not going to be worth that again if we hold him for another year. Time to get aggressive

    Better to have a brain than 'balls'. Pathetic.

    Salem is a joke.. no wonder McVee is not happy. Viney is also our weakest midfielder. Oliver looked a different product today.

    Viney is done as a top liner

    Salem - Kangas?

    McVee can go , can be replaced

    Sparrow- can go, can be replacec

    Take offers on Lever snd May

    Accept Oliver and Petracca are probably just B plus players from here.

    So, I want to know everyone’s opinion on Chaplin not putting his hand up.

    He says he’s learning and happy to, but also wants to be a senior coach.

    I feel he wants to do it anywhere but at Melbourne and I’m curious on what you guys thinks going on there?

    Probably just means he's no mug and won't embarrass himself knowing we already had a sights firmly set on a Buckley/Longmire type

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
