PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
No mention that he will miss, but they were doing a tackling drill and Kolt got Clarry and he got up grimacing and holding his hand. -

Clayton’s hand reinjured at training…clearly hasn’t been right all year. -

Ch. 7 about to report on the Dees. Seems like Oliver has suffered a fresh injury. Details to follow after the ads. Expecting more outstanding news -
If the coach’s directive was to leave the emotion out of it and not ruffle Maynard’s feathers, then it is a disgrace and shows just how soft of a club we are. In fact, we are a laughing stock again. That should have been the motivation. go back and looked how incensed Petracca was on the night it happened. Clarry, Viney and Gawn too. Petracca and Clarry shaking his hand and back slapping him. What the actual f… is that. Seriously. Weak as

Andrew Wu (The Age) on our DEECLINE
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to pitmaster's topic in Melbourne Demons
Correct. Any talk of a reset is nonsense. Maybe in previous seasons. We just lost our best player for the season…we have nothing to replace him with…we cleared our depth for Billings. I mean, we can give Tholstrup a shot against the Roos, but he ain’t changing the season’s trajectory. the problems run deep, and as I have said on other threads, this is a list management issue. The list has regressed every year since the flag. We can’t cover players who are injured or out of form. it is time to experiment. Put rivers in the middle against Norf. Try McVee. Who cares. It’s all on to 2025. side note, what were we doing recruiting Fullerton? I’d rather we went after Lobb? Where did all our money go after the salary dumps ? -
Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to pitmaster's topic in Melbourne Demons
So the narrative now created by the media and gobbled up by footy fans all over social media is that Melbourne are at fault for causing Tracc’s injuries and that we have form because we also caused Brayshaw’s after not taking him off when he was kneed in the head. It’s time for the Club to stand up for itself and put something out from the top. Not bloody Alan Richardson. Roffey, the phantom, has been silent amidst all the 💩 slinging since last year. Stand up. You couldn’t deliver a training base, so do something useful. -

They already have…you just have missed the month. Take the blinkers off. The cliff has come quickly. We are rooted -
Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to pitmaster's topic in Melbourne Demons
I feel the same way as the earlier poster we have been subject to complete pile on. Everyone hates our club. However, when Goodwin said he wanted fans to feel “proud to belong” he dug his own grave, because since then they have trashed any legacy their were building. We are back to the laughing stock of old and we have given the ammo to the media, including his pathetic interview on SEN about culture. Still not a damn word from our phantom President. Is anyone going to address the [censored] the media is spinning? Making is very hard to feel proud to belong. Belong to what? A sinking ship that has ignored festering cultural issues ? I can’t believe we are back to this -
PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
This…-l absolute plodder…but like many before him, undroppable because he is on Goodies favourites list..it was even mentioned at a BNF count a few years ago how much Goodwin loves him. the problem is Goodwin. He has exhausted the list and his stubborn ways have backfired. -
A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to ElDiablo14's topic in Melbourne Demons
You won’t get two first round picks for damaged goods. You will get one late first round and a second round. Which will make us even worse. God the insanity here is worse than watching us play -
A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to ElDiablo14's topic in Melbourne Demons
So you trade them for Billings McAdam and Fullerton and you wonder why we are where we are? When Harmes came in he played a role. Same with Jordon. The same can’t be said for any of the replacements. So how is that not bad list management? Opportunities or not, we walked them out the door for a packet of chips -
A new dawn for the Demons - our 2025 squad
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to ElDiablo14's topic in Melbourne Demons
There is no new dawn. Bad ..no wait…appalling list management has seen this club throw away all of its depth in the hope that players like Sparrow and Rivers would step up. The fact is, they haven’t. We lost Jackson and the two picks we got for him haven’t gone close to improving us. Not one bit. We are actually bereft of talent at the moment. This is going to get much uglier before it gets brighter again. It’s an absolute fail for the FD and the Board to have allowed this to happen. -
Time for a Change….Don’t wait another 2 years…
Kick_It_To_Pickett replied to Sir Why You Little's topic in Melbourne Demons
Goodwin has lost the players ..it is very evident now. The message is lost. They locked them out of the half time team meeting..wtf is that ? Panic stations. It’s all at sea. He should resign -
Get that game plan in the bin. We don’t have the cattle for it. Either sack Goodwin or bottom out and back hik in to go again with some top youth.

We don’t move it quickly though, there in lies the issue -

The.window.is.shut….for now -
With the bye coming, you’d think that any idea of doing this will be held until the bye. If he were to do that, I’d start him as a sub for a couple weeks after the bye and get him on for a massive quarter and a half
-
I would have traded Petty for the picks Adelaide were offering and had the pick of the litter. Or traded 13 for a player on the trade table.

Billings is a useless potato. He cannot kick and is slow, both at thinking and running
-
We needed players to impact this year to cover the losses of Harmes, Jordon, Hibberd, Dunstan (*and Brayshaw). However, at this stage, he is not ready to fill the void and put pressure on the mids we have to perform. We lack depth and he ain’t it in season 24. Windsor has showed he is capable at the level. So, you can post all the GIFs you want, but that is the reality. we needed impact immediately. Not an unbalanced list. The window is closing. We needed to recruit for the now..not down the track. We traded Grundy and this was compensation for Jackon . To compete this year, we needed ready to go players. is that an unreasonable shout?
-
I am glad tht a few posters are starting to question the recruiting of Kolt. It was an obscure pick at the time and looks to have backfired. Traded up for a run of the mill kid. Too smart for our own good on that one
-
And replace him with who? What a dumb take. Embarrassing that you posted it twice and started a thread thinking it’s still Queen’s Birthday
-
At least Goodwin didn’t refer to learnings in his press conference
-
We gave up. Petracca reflects the player’s feelings…he was so frustrated by a failing game plan. Waving his arms around every time it came unstuck. We absolutely stunk it up and another sold game destroys our season
