Kicking efficiency compared to Rivers and Windsor for those who were dissatisfied with the previous post 🙄
Kicking efficiency much better than Trac and Claz
Any word out of pies B&F last night?
Simon Goodwin says Melbourne was right to sack him after losing purpose following 2021 flag Simon Goodwin has spoken for the first time since being sacked as Demons coach, revealing why he thought Melbourne did the right thing in sacking him. Former Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin has conceded the Demons did the right thing by sacking him. After two months of reflection, the 2021 premiership coach says he now realised his time was up with the Melbourne playing group. “I was ready,” Goodwin told the Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Grand Final lunch. “I think in the end you are probably not performing your role to the maximum as you would have liked. “You don’t at the time (realise it) but when you sit back and reflect, the greatest thing in the last eight weeks is I have been able to go away and just write down all my lessons about what I have actually learnt in that process.” When asked about those lessons, Goodwin revealed the Demons struggled to find purpose again after breaking the 57-year premiership drought. “After success you face different challenges. As a coach it (the challenge) was building towards a premiership and building a great organisation but after success things change,” Goodwin said. “The disease of me is one of those where everyone wants more, they want more accolades, they want more money and then convenience starts to kick in. “The standards aren’t quite the same, they don’t quite want to be motivated . . . you need to really shift your purpose, you need to create a new purpose for the new challenge. “Our initial purpose was to bring happiness to the Melbourne football fans who haven’t had it and to break the Norm Smith curse of 57 years. “Once we did that, we didn’t redefine our next purpose and I think that’s a big part of driving success and that was one of the biggest lessons for me.” Ironically the former VECCI boss Paul Geurra wasn’t at the lunch. He left the organisation to become CEO of Melbourne and while he hadn’t officially started when Goodwin was sacked, he clearly had line of sight. The Demons have since appointed Geelong assistant coach Steven King as senior coach. Former West Coast premiership coach Adam Simpson, who was also interviewed at the lunch, revealed he knew he was in trouble when Don Pyke came in as the new CEO. “I think it was time for me, it was 11 years. I tell you what does quickly happen, a new CEO arrives and the new CEO wants to hitch their wagon to their man and I wasn’t Don Pyke’s man,” Simpson, who was sacked in July last year, said. “He was actually my assistant coach 10 years ago but I could tell pretty quickly it wasn’t going to end well. “But I was ready, in fact it was a relief by the end of it all. It’s more the legacy piece I worry about. We win one game the year after I finish and I feel like, ‘Is that my fault? I’m grappling with that a little bit, about how you leave the club is important and obviously West Coast are in a bit of hurt at the moment.” While Simpson said he wasn’t thinking about coaching again, Goodwin, who has joined the Sydney Swans as director of coaching, was a firm “yes” when asked if he would have a second crack. The pair were joined by Carlton captain Patrick Cripps on the panel with all three tipping the Brisbane Lions to upset Geelong in Saturday’s Grand Final.
When’s the tribunal?
Jed Adams in the squad. Not necessarily selected to play
DZ - I wasn’t watching the telecast so can’t confirm or deny. Strange request if true!
14. Gold Coast - Caleb Lewis (Casey Demons, VFL)
Good to see Mitch reads demonland too!!
Nice morning out here at Casey. Few spectators peeking through the fence like myself for a match sim. I’m busy wrangling a toddler but early highlight has been a big pack mark from Rooey from a centre clearance, with Rooey converting the goal. Go Dees and look forward to seeing others reports also!

Anyone listen to Tom Morris on SEN this morn …. insinuation Langdon may consider retiring?! Anyone on here know anything about that? Would be a big loss for us.
Yep agreed. I think there’s upside to pursuing with Fullarton. Noting his age and hasn’t played a heap of football (given his basketball talents).
Haha yes well played 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I probably should’ve said - backup ruckman 😅
There’s no debating our list is devoid of a genuine experienced mature ruckman. I could talk about that for days. But you are clearly ill informed on Fullarton. And haven’t shown anything to prove “a ruck is his intended role”….
So because the club used the term “Ruck Forward”, you conclude that ruck is his intended role? That’s one of the most illogical points I’ve read on here in a while. You would think if someone’s intended role was a ruckman, it would be listed as such.
https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1453491/list-boss-excited-by-fullarton-potential Fullarton was clearly recruited as a ruck-forward as evidenced above. Unless you can show something to the contrary, apart from opinion, that he was recruited as a primary ruckman?
Defence from what I saw too
A lot has been mentioned already but a few additional points from me (noting I left at half time of match sim) … • Kingy and Montagna spotted so look out for their updates on whatever platform you follow! • Shane McAdam and Marty Hore had a great battle and both genuine Rd.1 chances. McAdam quite impressive • Jeffo, JvR, KFW + Will Verall have all put on some size • Tommo looks a little leaner which I believe will be good for him • ANB was involved in a couple of really great set plays that he was integral too via a kick, handball or tackle • Trac seen doing Trac things • Not sure if it was a set play but Steven May handballed to Jake Bowey from a kick in who then kicked to the opposite flank Gawny was present at … good to see us at least try something different from a kick in • Trent Rivers really looks to have started 24’ where he left off in 23’ • Charlie Spargo and Kozzy ultra physical in a tackling drill at the start of the days session; was great to see the boys mean business even at training • I didn’t spot Lachie Hunter • Great to see the good attendance. Shame the club didn’t promote it somewhat given it fell on a PH. Good morning out …. Go Dees!
Great Stuff GTG :) - red circle is likely the only gate open for ground access - yellow circles are the two dedicated parking bays - green circle is likely the “primary” part of the ground for spectators/fans i.e. it does not sound like the big grandstand section of the facility is open for fans to mingle - not sure how accessible players will be for photos and signatures but we hold hope they will be more than willing to as I suspect there will be a good turn out for a Casey Fields training session! BYO food, drink etc. No shops close by. Cheers
