Farewell Brodie Grundy
Every time there was a selection to be made Goodie & the BT took the conservative, stick to what has worked, option. There was a lack of boldness in our selections. Grundy & Woewodin should have played.

TMac & Brown
Hate to agree with someone referencing Tucker Carlson but spot on. Binmans post was total psychobabble, an impenetrable word salad worthy of the worst management speak. In any case a contract is a contract - both parties pay their money & take their chances. However I would be surprised if BBB plays next year.

Farewell Deakyn Smith
Yes spot on looked really terrific early on but went backwards.

Picket v Spargo - The Learnings
Classic Demonland hijack. Spargo v Picket has turned into Why did we let Hunt & Bedford leave 🤔.

Picket v Spargo - The Learnings
Spargos first instinct is invariably to look to pass to someone in a better position and secondly to have a shot on goal whereas Kossies first instinct is to kick a goal and secondly to pass off. I love Kossie & he is such a great snap that I can usually forgive him but if he is to grow as a player & the forward line improve he needs to look to review this aspect of his game.

Shocking article about an ex Demon Rookie
Stay strong Daniel and hang in there. You've shown great courage. Hopefully the AFL, MFC or Players Association will provide support. Good luck.

Vale Ronald Dale Barassi - Rest in Peace
Made an outstanding contribution to MFC, AFL football and the nation.

Goody - Genius or insane?
A pretty shallow article. Injuries, suspensions & form means we don’t have a lot of options.

Welcome to Demonland Toby Bedford
Anyone else find it odd that 3 of the 4 quickest players on the list left - Baker , Bedford & Hunt.

Michael Hibberd Hanging Up the Boots
Talent is important but its essential to have tough nuts with a dash of mongrel like Bernie Vince, Nev Jetta & now Hibbo. An absolute favourite. He will be missed.

Amazing what you can find out on Demonland.

Tom Doedee FA
I understand that but it still baffles me. Imagine if Steven May insisted that his surname be pronounced My or Petty insisted that his surname be pronounced Pet-tie.

How on earth do you get doo day. I'll always pronounce it dough - dee

Josh Schache Re-Signs for 1 Year
Think its a bit unfair on Jack W. Watching old Dees highlights of the last 10 years recently I was pleasantly surprised at how many times JW was instrumental at winning in close finishes. His kicking was a weapon. Also apart from a form dip he established himself as a regular A grader whereas JS after several years & 3 clubs is still a B grader.

Welcome to Demonland: Luke Dunstan
He was unlucky. He was in good form & Goodie actually talked him up at a presser. Unfortunately he injured his knee & missed a month or so at the same time Clarry got injured & that ruined his chances.

Darcy Parish
Another Tom Mitchell, accumulates a lot of possessions but doesnt hurt you.

CASEY: Wild Card vs North Melbourne
Bit of a worry that in such a belting Jefferson only had 4 touches & Adams 2 touches.

CASEY: Wild Card vs North Melbourne
Every generation says pretty much the same thing. Despite our protestations we all end up emulating our parents & grandparents 🤯

Simon Goodwin extends contract to end of 2026
Not quiet sure what you're saying. I've given 3 examples of premiership coaches where the Clubs signed up the coaches for long deals and later regretted it. If the Club had waited until mid 2024 it would have made a more informed decision.
-
Simon Goodwin extends contract to end of 2026
Totally untrue. Melbourne was pondering whether to reappoint him or not so he jumped ship. It was the right decision. Richmond had a premiership coach in Robert Walls coming back to Melbourne & were keen to get him. Northey got wind of it & jumped ship.
