I'm glad Goodwin has made his gambling issues public. Like Schwartz, it does not make you a weaker person.Quite the opposite. I am trying to control my own gambling currently and am going ok

It shows just how sensitive Eddie is over Buckley. All Peter Jackson said in an aside, was that " the succession across the road, may not have happened as well as it could have". Hardly a big sle

So are we gonna be the hardest team to play against in the AFL?

As long as we don't go back to being the hardest team to watch again. I can't do that again!!!!

It's a double whack against the Pies because that's exactly the kind of jab Eddie likes to poke at other clubs.

If true to form Eddie will not be able to contain himself and will "retaliate" with some mouthing off on the radio.

If that's actually what he said then that's an extraordinary error if judgement. 

Hardly "extraordinary" and hardly an "error of judgement". Well documented that Micky wasn't on board, won the flag then showed the Pies the forks before matching off to the Blues and enjoyed Buckley dropping further down the ladder every year... I.e. Micky didn't leave Bucks a list or club with which he'd succeed...

PJ was spot on and good on him for saying it.

Bucks playing for his career in 2017.

Well sure, assuming Goodwin works out. Won't look so smooth if we win 6 games next year.

Really quite a long way to go before our succession plan can be ticked off as 'smooth'.

Happy for PJ to put some skin in that game.

Maybe ur right. If it all goes [censored] up,  PJ's little quip will be the least of my concerns. 

I like the attitude of poking the "Big boys", has a feel of a club confident it is on the rise and prepared to back itself.

That we finished higher than both clubs, beat both easily, and have a better list and more stable club at the moment are the exact points PJ should be pointing out to the footy community, especially players considering a move to a Melbourne club.

There is a difference between smooth and successful.

It could be one, both or neither. 

Clearly in our case it has been smooth, as Roos and Goodwin believe in it and support it.

MM did not and he and Bucks clearly can't stand each other.

As for successful, well we will see in time.

Nice interview with Goody on SEN run home.

Has a sound head, no hyperbole. I get the impression of stability and continuity and reckon that's just what the players need at this stage of development. Results will have the final say of course but there's something nice about there being no hullabaloo around our new head coach taking over.

https://audioboom.com/boos/5046445-simon-goodwin-on-the-run-home

 

The importance of this should not be be underrated. In normal circumstances when a new coach takes over there is always a big song and dance as the club looks to brand the coach on the club and sell him to the fans who are looking for progression and hop. Of course the players also have to get used a new coach. Neither of these issues apply to us, which is terrific.

Yep, thanks, LT. Was put at pub trivia, so I missed your post CB. :)

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
