It was highly unlikely we'd make any changes after last weekend, but I think this does 2 things. Firstly it says to Corey, well done champ, had a great game last week and you're building consistency. Keep it going and you'll get a run in the seniors soon enough, i.e. bash the door down champ! Secondly it fires a shot across the bow of those fringe players in this weeks line-up. If you don't perform, we have a lad here who is ready to have a red hot crack.

I have a feeling when he finally gets his chance, we're going to be seeing a lot of him.

It'll be refreshing hearing the commentators talk about his basketball background.

Great news for him. Can't see him getting a game before the end of the season, but let's him know he's still a shot at a list spot going forward.

Starting to worry about Benken now a bit though.

I also hope that commentators perpetually refer to his basketball career as per Brad Greens Manchester United Trial (yes, but not at a senior level), or Mark Blicavs Steeplechasing career

What is this (to me) unknown quantity going to bring to the side?

i think the main things is exactly what has dropped off in the last 5- weeks - manic pressure and attack. A goodwin player if i ever saw one - fierce at the ball, big bodies and loves the contest.

I'm not sure about his kicking though.

I'm guessing their strategy is to put GWS off their kicking game with immense pressure, forcing turnovers and transitioning into attack. Basically what we were doing in the first half of the year before injuries mounted up.

Maynard seems to be a high pressure player even if his disposal is iffy.

A Pies mate told me he was not good enough to be best 22, at the time we got him. Thought it might be sour grapes. Don't think so now.

Jeremy Howe a chance to be AA. That makes it a great trade.

Loved it, laughed when he was talking about being sore and Goody just casually says we need you  to come to Canberra to debut. I think Goodwin is a bit of a players man and a hugger. But happy to see the boys waiting for him and congratulating him.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
