    On the inconsistency week to week:

    Internally they are setting Melbourne up for a sustained period of success and believes its going well.

    Relying on the younger players to perform too much on game day, thinks fatigue is an issue.

    On Hogan:

    Comparing him to Josh Kennedy on the type of player he will end up being (big on chasing and forward pressure)

    Very driven to be the best he can be, good understanding of the game. "He has some frustrations he needs to temper, not always going to get it on a silver platter as a forward"

    When asked what he would be most worried about if he had to play on him he said his ability to always be moving, his agility and his quickness off the mark, thinks he needs to work on his leading patterns.

    Tom McDonald feeling confident going into the season after spending the pre season defending against him

    On Lumumba's year:

    Thinks people judge him too much based on his possession count, happy with his contested game. Gives a lot of energy on field. Getting used to a new role on the wing. Thinks his best footy for Melbourne is ahead of him.

    On Roos:

    Game plan when he first came in was very similar to his Sydney game plan, game had evolved and Roos has made changes this year to reflect that.

    About Harry, he said they had a bet with the Collingwood coaches about how many games he would play this year and they need to keep playing him to win it. But just in case, they laid it off with a bet of how many turnovers he will make. It's looking good on both counts and will fund the end of season trip.

    This interview is a great example of why Jade has remained in the coaching department at Melbourne. Terrific breadth of knowledge about the game and impressed with his honesty and positiveness about players.

    As quoted "highly desirable among the coaching ranks". I hope he sticks around. An asset IMO.

    WTF does he mean by this? Are we running marathons during the week to help us achieve sustained success in the future?

    Hilarious coming off a 100 point loss against some second rate Bulldog kids....all going well,

    Those second rate Bulldog kids might just get their team to October...

    You would hope so, as I would hate to see it get worse

    Hope we csn get as many good second raters as the bullies have. Good enough to be top four right now.

    Don't feed the troll

    which one? There's a few poking their heads up from under the bridge at the moment

    big losses are the finest trollbait

  • Quote

    Nonsense, I don't think anyone's judging HL on his possession count. Mostly it's his hospital handballs and constant running into trouble.

  • Quote

    A few interesting comments re, Hogan and HL.

    Can anyone explain (in simple English) how to get the replay of this on the SEN iPhone app?

    Thanks

    It means we are being set up to win contested ball like the dogs have been. And then once that foundation is set.. The game plan will be more viable to attack, because we will be creating more pressure to make turnovers and kick higher scores..

    They don't have an app any more, just go to their website and look for audio clips/highlights/podcasts

    Lumumba has a contested game? All I've seen is him trailing his opponent by 5 metres on every occasion, flailing his limbs about wildly. If he was anyone else he would have been at Casey for the past two months.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
