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.

There's a 2 i c at St.Kilda that might be in the conversation, premiership player from Geelong

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!

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.

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

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.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
