Doesn’t ever clubs players or coaches say this every week, new cliche

    We'll take it one week at a time. I'll take my valium one pill at a time.

    I'm sick of hearing Goodwin claim we haven't been getting "reward for effort". It epitomizes the poor-me snowflake society we're in today.

    When the game plan is so ridiculously inefficient, of course the reward is so god-damn tough to come by.

    F*** instead of pulling out the "poor us" card, I wish he focused on figuring out how to improve efficiency in order to gain the reward/s.

    The writing is on the wall, two consecutive smashing whilst "the effort" has been there indicates something is very wrong with the game plan and/or disposal skills, which must both be worked on.

    I’m keen to see the much vaunted ‘connection’ take place tomorrow.

    I have a feeling the forward line is going to function much better with Tmac back in the team and I like the combo of Fritsch and Hannan. Both can leap and snag goals out of nothing.

    Bombers defence will find it hard to contain our attack imo.

    agree. No more Neeld like politics. 

    Simply it is not good enough. The coach sets up the plan and structure.  If it’s broken, it’s brcause the plan is flawed or Goodwin cannot connect with the squad

    I remember the days when Hogan was out for a game or two and our forward line thrived.

    So you think we should play 4 key forwards?

    terrible idea

    Goodwin is starting to sound like Goebbels. It is the same rhetoric time and time again.

    What should his points of agenda be in the press conference @dl4e, walk me through what you want to hear from him? I am genuinely interested.

    I know it is not easy to be doing press conferences and he may hate doing them but something a little different occaisionely might perk up the interest. He is not the only one either.

    Also the same questions from journos again and again.

    Though in the article I read that's based on the presser, Goodwin tackled the issue of social media and players, which is something from outside the box. No doubt you'd be pleased.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
