Welcome to Demonland: Brody Mihocek
RPFC Your record is not good with 3 or 4 years of scoring problems and no end in sight. You have presided over low scores mostly 2/3 behinds and hopeless connection, leading patterns like a maze plus not enough crumbing and team acts. Seems like you should be immediately leaving your door keys and ONE football we gave you for practice at Casey. Please go straight to the Cwood practice venue and start harming their forward performance like ours.

2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen
You are mistaking the very reason for Mihocek bring recruited. It is to provide another credible opponent for the opposition defence they will need watching. It’s not to recreate JVR as Jacko or not to assist him in rucking more but to keep the 1,2, and 3 defenders occupied by each forward in a much more meaningful contest to produce higher scores.

The Clayton Oliver Thread
Beautifully put so accurate. Goody did not see his role as worrying about the future as hung on desperately to his past hero’s. He stilted development at times and wasted dead rubbers not experimenting ie Judd McVee. Our whole attitude from 2023 on has been defence and hanging on got his sake. I think the players will play with much more freedom and it will evolve positive response and accordingly better results under King.

The Christian Petracca Thread
He did back it up for 4 years and for playing injured which Goody demands ( Stevie also agreed) it has harmed his season. He has in many Demon eyes our best ever full back ( over 100 games quota) or at least this centuries eminent holder of that title. His presence and his Lever affiliation gave our defence thst aura of solidarity and strength and toughness that in many games frightened the opposition into trying and succeeding in challenging our fortress style defence. One poor season as above does not take away his ability and occasional indiscretions as a great in our Goodwin era.

Imploding
Think what Perty meant was the culture of the 2021 Premiership team was the best he had seen for 40 years and got it a little wrong in detail. If you look at that comment in this light I don’t think you would ever get any argument about the comment. Maybe extend that to nearly 60 years. Ie 57 years. BUT think he was talking about his 40 years of footy since he began when he was a youth.

Training Ground?
Wrong IMO. Naturally some people like on D/L are going to be critical when the final product is built but still in favour of the facility. Naturally some players will be satisfied by the official announcement that our facility will proceed but others NOT until the finish and they can inspect it first hand as completed. By then our new Pres and CEO will have gained considerable kudos and brownie points for our Club to be given the benefit of doubt again in credibility and culture standings plus on field success hopefully adding to this AFL opinion of destination and near prime movers back again.

The Sam Flanders Thread
Agree could become a target as a fourth forward behind Fritta.

The Judd McVee Thread
You are not understanding what players want and their development. Bedford is a VFL player and has improved due to maturity and if handled more sympathetically by Simon would have dine this at Dees. But Simon stuck to Premiership players at our expense and we lost Bedford JJ and maybe not giving Judd some more consistent mid time in games at the end of the seasons 2024 and 2025 is partly responsible no Matter what King may have said to him. Money may well be an issue and if so Dees should stand firm and accept an appropriate compensation or player.

Media Madness
Is this Harvey Langford? Or Sam McLure?

Welcome to Demonland: Brody Mihocek
Have an idea it would be a Third year option upon agreement of both parties.

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
Well it is an irrelevant question. No need to find out that at all. A complete waste of time.

Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver in 2026
Start running but you won’t see any MFC rep with that deal from GCSuns. They don’t need mids Adelaide Carlton Tigers do though. But Flanders would be a good get no doubt if we could swing it.

Welcome to Demonland: Harvey Langford
You are showing your lack of knowedge and recognition of a potentially good/ great key position player for Adelaide who who’ll also be useful for a running mid at times. He is a very good left foot distributor to his teammates. He has size and pace for his height and is a good disposer. If you can’t see that you are biased or aren’t a good footy judge. BT W I am nit saying he is better than Harvey Langford as he will be a key position player most likely with ability to play on ball at times .

Poll: Coaching Viewpoint
The trading part hasn’t. Still to come and recruiting.

The Jye Simpkin Thread
Langdon is a far better worker and contributor than both Tom and Chin. Simpkin is a a better player and could add to our mids more then Tom or Chin simply with more output which is aBout what Lingers provides on a regular basis.

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
And how are we going to get that info and what matter of interest is it? It was a unanimous decision I believe from the Coaching Panel so it seems 1/7th was the value from each of the members. Happy ??? Ie One Vote each!! Talk about wanting irrelevant information and yes we won’t know except what has come out about Guerra’s question to Buckley and Brad Greens public announcement to the press and us members via an email. Both seem quite appropriate actions.

The Judd McVee Thread
Was Juddy at the B and F night? That might or might not be a clue to this going on. Also no news from our Exit interviews thst he had asked For a trade assuming contract discussions might have been on the agenda also.

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
No one will miss you carrying on so unthinkably stupid as you are. This has been a well conducted process ( much quicker than We all thought) by a somewhat varied but independent group of people who have reached a very strong verdict as to who is the best candidate to take us forward. It’s no good going off your lollie about who was not available no matter why or how this happened. You would be whinging in 3 weeks time if we were going through trade and draft period without a coach having his say. So please stop feigning outrage and indignation. The overall result has been universally recognised and received as a progressive and astute decision based on Kings standing and record in the AFL over nearly 30 years. All the best in your next job sounds like the leader of one of the less successful parties in Australian politics in Vic or Nationally would suit you. Good luck El Supremo.

Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
Stupid irrelevant question unless you want to keep on harping about this every time we lose or fail. Get over it. All the coaches in the running had applied at least once for seniors AFL roles previously. Think Suns was one and possibly Eagles but he may have not put his hat into that ring. While I would have been quite happy for Bucks to have succeeded I think this decision is one where we will see a greater change within the Club in it’s approach and more importantly in game day planning. Chances were that Bucks game style IMO may not have been as modern as one if the very recent assistants. But he would have balanced that out with his undoubted knowledge and reputation in the recruiting area. Now for the Assistants!! BTW the approximate 25/30% who just said “ Don’t want Buckley” were typical MFC types with no reason being given. Not even a “ too ….” To add. ie the same who Don’t like prime time night games ( too late getting home) Don’t like Sunday 3.15 pm matches. ( too late for work or school on Monday) Want to clear ALL players ( or about 90%) after 2 seasons whether trade draft or any other method of recruiting) PS were you one of the [censored] who wanted Trac offered for sale before his breakout year in 2020? Yes you !! About 25% of D/L Anders were in that mould. We are the most impatient group of supporters around. Whilst I favoured strongly for Goody to be released ahead of his contract and to change our game plan to a more positive approach he still was a premiership Coach and there are only so many in the AFL. Many D/Landers will put King on Buckley watch if he coaches the Devils ( if he he fails with us) and it will be a Green legacy no doubt. ( Guerra and Smithy will escape as they have not had 12. Mths of leading the Club like Brad. ) They have about 2 or 3 years ( possibly) under the Demonland time scale. Brad has 1 or 2 or none years depending upon your opinion on his previous 12months in the Interim Chair. Incidentally he has 3 or 4 like the rest IMO to leave his mark! Good luck Kingy a Red ( and Blue ) letter Day for you and approx. 300,000 other Demon hopefuls ( rusted or not) as we start our journey from Blank or a clear pattern again. Get your tickets folks we don’t know what sort of a ride but don’t miss out. Or is it Too late, too cold, too wet, to many train/ bus interceptions, too little trying to win or just TOO LAZY to get your Demon spirit into gear, or are you going to sit on the fence with or without an opinion. Don’t too this or. Too that JUST DO !!! Please.
