Seems less comfortable talking off a script, as he did at the start of his press conference, but answered questions with ease.

    Haha, loved the whack from PJ directed at Collingwood. That's two whacks directed at two big Victorian clubs in the past 2 weeks.

    I just want to follow a consistent and successful team for once. 

    I hope that Goody has it in him cause I don't think I could go through another coaching change and rebuild again.

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

    Said the succession plan has been smooth process unlike a team across the road (dig at Malthouse to Buckley transition).

    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.

    Goodwin was a great player. I hope he can be known more for being a great coach.

    My fingers are crossed, I hope he becomes the next clarko!

    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.

    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. :)

    Too early to tell if Goodwin will be 'smooth or successful'. Let's just wait and see before jumping up and down. We've come from a long way back and are yet to take a wicket despite good line and length.

    PJ is simply saying the transition has been successful. That is fact. It has.

    We are. And not just on the wings. All over the ground, is the inside mail.

    'Successful' is an arbitrary term jnr.

    Not fact.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
