		Simon Goodwin Sacked
		
		I think most of us know that changing Coaches is not a guarantee for success. But when you look at last night, with the Saints struggling to beat the Bombers VFL side and think back to us losing to them with a 45 point lead at 3/4 time, not kicking a goal in the last quarter, an AFL record loss, combined with the last two seasons, it was an obvious and necessary decision. Also the off field situation where we were losing members had to be considered. Will we do better next year, hopefully?

		Farewell Judd McVee
		
		I note his girlfriend Lily is playing for the Dees’ women’s side tonight. Have we thought about extending Lily’s contract?

		Trade Targets
		
		With TDK joining Marshall and now Dodson playing tonight, Max Heath could be a target for us. 207 cms and 22 he could be a good understudy for Max in his last couple of years.

		I believe you and can’t see why he would volunteer a lie to a supremely dedicated Demon fan. I am sewing number 4 onto my Dees shirt.

		Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
		
		Think you nailed it. Lot of back scratching.

		What's Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?
		
		And yours truly was Team Manager that year and the above is true. Really liked Henry and he was a nice guy and at 170 cms pretty brave to take on the 194 cm Captain Coach. At training one day he offered to show me the difference between VFL players and ammo’s. I am 175 cms and had a small height advantage. Henry stood with me and Phil Carman about 40 metres away. Phil would kick it to me and no matter where I led or whatever I did, I couldn’t get a fingernail on the ball. Henry just bodied me out of every single contest. Carman was killing himself laughing. It gave me a new respect for the players as to how brilliant they were.

		TRAINING: Tuesday 12th August 2025
		
		That is understandable. I look forward to his debut next year, bigger and stronger.

		Brad Green and the current board
		
		Caro said our sacking of Goodwin was messy and Carlton was good in keeping Voss. Sam McLure on footy classified said Graham Wright offered the Carlton job to a couple of senior coaches who declined and he then told the Board to keep Voss for the time being. Is that messy?

		PREGAME: Rd 23 vs Hawthorn
		
		Despite the obvious different ladder postions and form this season, we are at a huge disadvantage this week, with the Hawks having 3 extra days between games. That is a ridiculous advantage to have.

		May to Tribunal
		
		If it benefits the Pies in the finals, get some tomato sauce to pour on your hat, to make it tastier.

		May to Tribunal
		
		Especially if it will benefit the Pies in the finals.

		May to Tribunal
		
		There is absolutely no doubt that different teams and especially certain players, are treated differently by the MRO, Tribunal and the Media.

		May to Tribunal
		
		Neither does David King. Said May should get 6 weeks and Newcombe no case to answer, as it was an accident. Howe knocked out cold and as Gleeson said to May, you had plenty of time to avoid the collision which the reasonable player would do. Can’t wait to see what the MRO does.
