John Demonic

I'm a paid up spiritual donor for the Simon Goodwin Healing Journey, and I couldn't give a stuff about players, lists and game-plans. It's all about self improvement, connection and love! But no, seriously, I had a similar feeling early in the season. He was talking a lot about himself and the journey he's on as a person and coach to get better. I had a thought at the time: Am I on this persons personal journey or am I the fan of a football club?

The one part of the AFL that is lagging behind sporting codes around the world like the EPL or NBA, is that we hold onto coaches a year or two longer than we should. Owners and GM's over there are prepared to make the tough calls because they will not accept a protracted period of mediocrity. 2 years of failure after the highest of success and you're done. For some reason, AFL clubs need to see 3, 4 or even 5 seasons of poor performances before it's over. Holding on too long with the hope that it will turn around. I wonder who will be coaching us in 2027 eh.

Was 2021 the only season the umpiring wasn't corrupt or fixed?

Spoke too soon!

We should be beating a team with Jagga Smith on the sidelines

Only way we get back our 1st is if Petracca is traded

It was rumoured ages ago. Are there only a handful of demonlanders that heard it and have since been watching his poor efforts through the lens of him having one foot out the door?

And Essendons!

The episodes with Ryan from the Demon Army are the better ones. He's very measured, articulate and non-reactionary, while still being passionate.

Maybe he can be our forward coach after getting a degree in sports management

If it was touched they'd still be up by 15 points, and we'd be still kicking to JVR in a wrestling contest with 3 defenders and/or hail marying a shot from outside 50. We lost it in the 2nd quarter

If he doesn't get another game, he'll be an undefeated demon footballer with two wins from two games. I wonder how many of them there have been throughout history!?

How else are we meant to fix our messi goalkicking?

Glad someone has actually looked at the ladder recently!

In the NBA theres a person called 'Cleaning the Glass" that compiles league-wide stats based on minutes that aren't junk time, to eliminate the come-backs that overinflate the value of points/assists and other stats made when the result is over and the starters are all off the floor. Goodwin is the antithesis of this valuation method. He values all the work we've done when we're already way behind and out of the game. It's disingenuous and i've had enough of it. Next coach please. And I get that its "good" that we didn't throw in the towel, but more often than not its the opposition putting the cue in the rack!

I look forward to Damien Dimwit losing his cool

They're both great band names 🤘

The Jake Lever Forward Experiment

He'll drop Windsor for the prelim this year, just you wait

You pining for MJ in the team is the weekly Home & Away episode PF You know we belong together You and I forever and ever No matter where you are you're my guiding star And from the very first moment I saw you (Oooh-ooh) I never felt such emotion I'm walking on air Just to know (Just to know) You are there (You are there) Hold me in your arms Don't let me go I want to stay forever Home and away, with you each day Let me be the one that you turn to Someone you can rely on Closer each day Home and away

And McKay has more forward craft in his left toe than anyone else on the list. Why are we in the business of turning away Coleman medalists plural, and then having the tenacity to think it's not a matter of personnel? Furthermore, were we not in a similar position 6 years ago with Ben Degenerative Knees Brown available and a forward line that had too many limitations to contend? Thank god we traded for him and didn't throw Petty up forward back then!

Pig was the biggest party animal, the mad Monday specialist, and you said

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity! StK 20 Melb 20 NM 18

Will John Longmire be starting in September too?
