I see your point - perhaps mess is too loaded and over the top.

But I would argue there's plenty of evidence there are many examples of poor governance.

...

Thats all on the executive because at the end if the day the bucks stops with them.

So whilst beinf a mess of field might be a litte unfair, our governance is well and truly in the same suburb.

Sigmund Freud would be so proud.

If Buckley's comments are a case of divan intervention, you'd have to say sofa so good.

Wish I'd said that . Whether Bucks is a chaise accompli or benched we'll just have to settee down and wait.

A Geelong premiership player, you say?

Welcome back Shannon Byrnes!

Quick question, wasn't the coach search committee supposed to be finalised yesterday? Did anyone see it announced somewhere?

There was some debate about which ‘journo’ broke the story of Goody’s sacking first. Apparently Jay Clark posted it on that X thing 12 seconds before Morris. Jay wins.

that the media were more concerned about this than discussing why goodwin was let go said volumes about the state of afl medja

it was only really the guardian that looked at the reasons why; https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2025/aug/05/afl-simon-goodwin-sacking-by-melbourne-demons-was-ruthless-but-the-right-call

Just be aware he left at the end of 2021 and wasn't at Geelong in the recent successful period where Chris Scott learnt to actually win finals.

Maybe it was.... you on the need to know list ?? 🤷‍♂️

 

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Sounds like we are keen on Buckley but setting up a panel/committee to save face and make it look like it's a thorough search. Can't say I'm overly impressed "if" that committee consists of Green, a CEO who hasn't even started or has football background and Richardson, who many thought would be first to go. What if Buckley pulls out? Do we trust these guys?

Well Copilot let you down there champ because Norm Smith coached the Dee's to the 1960 flag as one of his six.

Did Norm coach a club that wasn't Mebourne to a flag, Tiger?


For all those saying trust the process and don’t elevate a clearly better option I give you Exhibit A - Mark Neeld. The process can backfire.

I just don’t want an untried coach right now.

2 journos rushing to break it in a tie breaker tells me it was "leaked" at the same time to at least two journos.

Check their texts. Bet they both got the heads up at the same time

Who else is sick of waiting for Buckley to be announced?

Yes I am!

Why and how did he get the bullet from the pies. I cannot remember. And how long ago ?

I will keep it together then… for now

Can't we all just get along?

We have a wonderful opportunity for a full Demonland reset.

The Goody is NOT the right guy crew must be thrilled.

The Goody IS the right guy crew (of which I'm a card carrying member) have moved on - the king is dead, long live the king!

Let's all rally around our interim President, acting CEO and yet to appointed head coach (*cough bucks cough*).

Tbh whilst I harbour a curiosity for the make-up of the "Coaching Select Panel" or whatever they might like to be called. It doesn't matter ( much to me ) I've no influence over them and wouldn't know anytime soon what I should wield over them even would I could..

Only hope they spend more than 5 mins on this and keep an open mind.

I want not just a Coach, I want coaches and a better Football dept.

How that's arranged or arrived at; not fussed really.

Just get it done and do it well... whoever is so choosing whom.

Go Dees

Don’t mention the word reset you’ll bring out a whole other mob to fight with.

Not. One. Bit.

I don't trust they will be able to get Buckley over the line who seems keen.

I certainly don't trust them to pick anyone that is untried.

At this rate no one else will apply. Then Bucks will probably pull out. Will have a search committee with no candidates.

  • 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.
