I dont mind the guy, but no thanks, in fact about the only "experienced" coach that might have sat ok with me is James Hird, but to long out of it now is my thinking, what ever you do dont bring up Simmo.....Hinkley, please, ok guy, had a list that should have got to one GF, Longmire, ummm....really it's a hard caper but again should have done better, no mate throw it to the wind and bring in a talented assistant, fresh ideas, a name popped up yesterday, Cam Bruce, ex player who played the last two ys of his career at the Hawks when they tapped him on the shoulder and said Father Time has caught up with you son, assistant at the Lions at the moment, a versatile defender and midfielder and tagger and vice captain, same draft year as current interim president Brad the Man Green, was assistant coach at the Hawks during there flag runs, then the Blues for 4 ys 2021 joined the Lions as midfield coach....would be a romantic fan reunion, then Corey Enfield, apparently a highly regarded assistant...name also came up... Me? got no idea, maybe you would want an AFL experienced coach if the club was broken and recovering al la Paul Roos to get some steel back into the backbone, actually I see Buckley as a more of a Goodwin personality, maybe Goodwin was too professional for us...Well I do have an idea, throw a first round pick at the Tigers and go after Adem Yze, will never forget his runs along the members flank and wings during his 200 plus game career...and he can coach..

hahaha, seen that comment elsewhere in print this morning....

Guru Will......has done it again.....Goodwin sacked....last night....what else do you see in your weeties this morning billy? Interm CO, interm president and now intern coach, well I feel sorry for Simon but it wasn't looking good hey? About the only good thing thats come out of this is they moved like a stealth bomber, silently in the night with a thousand knifes thrown into Simons back, no real warning, with clear vindication, throat cut quickly and silently as in a commando raid....best of luck Simon...I recon North may sit up and take note if they decide Alistair isnt up for it anymore... So it's a new broom at the G, now the tube will be a buzz with names thrown around as coach in waiting.....OMG hope it not who I think it could be.... https://www.nine.com.au/sport/afl/news-2025-simon-goodwin-sacked-melbourne-demons-tom-morris-20250805-p5mkdr.html

Que Sera Sera,

Im pretty sure we are all looking forward to the end of the season, but worse for Demon supporters the off season where they dont normally do any soul searching and just recycle is a bigger pain...

Just Checked WCE, only one wooden spoon, you haven't got records like biggest loosing margin or record scores kicked against you in a GF, both Bombers and Hawks walloped us in the 2000, then biggest score kicked against you and biggest loosing margins in home and away, Lions and Cats thanks, I was at the Lion's game by the way, then yesterdays biggest comeback in AFL history to win, all belong to the Demons, and in my time seen a few 10 goal leads evaporate, one stands out in my memorey 10 goals was a bealting in those days, one day at the G 10 min into second quarter leading by 10 goals against the Bombers, ended up loosing by something like 5 or 6 goals...North in the 70s did it too, there where a few more. Any way we are ok this morning, we Demon supporters have evolved into something like aliens, have grown insensitive to feelings and pain since we got and get so much of it, we walk around with eyes straight forward no blinking as if we are shelled shocked...this is our normal look...I guess its a zombie look ...the TGF last night thought it funny when she asked why I was so quite while we where driving to dinner, and I responded said thinking about football, an even bigger smile came on her face, hey I said its not funny, its serious......for a man.. Simon in the wars this morning a la Voss, guess the game triggered a few emotions in some younger Dee fans who haven't built the Amarillo armour...

Poor guy, we are bleeding for you, go check the the history of my club since 1966, Chook poor guy, Saints are perennial losers as well, and what about Fj, North haven't exactly set the world on fire most of there VFL/AFL life, your just doing a pre apprenticeship Will, its called "Pain and Misery and how to get it in Football", Swans, only last 20 ys they have been far from the wooden spoon, wait till you got 15 wooden spoons under your belt then you Will how it will feel to keep finnishing bottom 4.

Well if that bunch off over paid so called professionals can look the paymaster straight in the eye when they pick up there next cheque they should all head off for Hollywood. Yes coach has to go, going from top 4 to bottom 5 in one season then backing it up in 2025 says this useless board haven't been able to read the situation, this club has only been professionally run briefly in the modern era the quality of people at the club leave a lot to be desired, once the <deleted> show started with the previous to previous president we where on the slide to the bottom. Carlton and the Demons are doing a hatchet job on there coaches, my the p.ric.ks find there karma in this life.

Not sure if your bating me here mr C but if I had said on Thursday that Saints where a strong chance to win you might have said I was bonkers, well I did think that, and intensions early where to pick the Saints.

I dunno.....people still using obsolte windows lappies....

Totally agree with you, they build in all sorts of clauses and targets to reach to get the full contract, if the kid has a few poor years his salary halves, morons out there dont understand, NO one gives fully guaranteed contracts...wait...The Browns do....and there paying for it now....I would think hairy stays, the guys got it made over there, And what about Kysaiah? since they slipped the 1.7m into his pocket the kids gone to the not next lever but the stratosphere... Ps, McVee hasn't signed and it aint looking like it any longer, nice silky smooth half back that has plenty of time with the ball and just a puppy still...Freo are reported to be interested but the fella was an Eagle supporter, so im tipping you will get an pother Demon defender, yeah he's in the 18 every week if fit.

Got quoted 75,000 includes motor and install with track for a steel sliding gate with aluminium powder coated vertical strips no gaps, 5m long 1.8m high..so that should give you an idea.

The one next to the lake/aquarium is up there with the best anywhere.
