Very briefly /roughly...

- Goody has an open door policy

- Goody gets to know each player very well on and off the field without taking it too far "Mates" wise

- Gives them plenty of freedom without being ultra strict with team rules while following a basic structure/method (i think).  Resulting in the players enjoying their footy more than previously in general.

- Agreed we are not great in the big matches but are enjoying/learning from challenges and have really only just started to get more experience as a unit in bigger games as we haven't been involved in too many previously.  Defended a little here saying we have won QB matches in the past (being our only recent exposure) and hoping  to get more experience by making finals and taking it as far as possible should we get there.

    goodwin himself is a robot in the pressers. how many times does he have to say 'its a disappointing loss and it doesn't resemble the way we play our footy..etc'. eventually it does resemble the way we play footy and if we lose this week to port i don't think we deserve to play finals. smashed by hawks, rich and collingwood have made me feel that we may not be ready yet.

    We simply have to win friday night. 

    Otherwise we are the classic Flat Trackker. 

    Time to play under pressure and succeed.

    Sam McClure is almost unbearable to listen to and I just can’t stand to watch TV with him on.

    Reminds me of a ventriloquist dummy the way his gob runs up and down.

    This is the persona he projects to the media.  Clearly he is a different person at training, in meetings etc.  When he speaks to the media he protects the players and re-inforces the culture and the expectations he wants to associate with the club.  What is wrong with that?  Nothing.  In fact, it's exactly what we need.  He never got carried away after 4,5,6 wins in a row.  Instead he said that we're doing things right and that we need to continue to do so.  We'll have bumps in the road (ie. Collingwood) but I like the fact Goodwin is working hard to keep them grounded and to play the 'Melbourne way' no matter who the opposition is.

    That makes any difference? Maybe he wants to present a similar, stable front to fans and players in those public times?

    My post was directly related to the 4th point in the original post. I'm just tired of hearing all of this manufactured dribble..eventually the noise from goodwin's mouth is fugazi until we start winning these games.

    So, what happens when a flat track bully in Port Adelaide meets another (possible) flat track bully? A high scoring affair? Or low scoring?

    I am tipping free scoring without Lever. 

    If we can lock Port down i will be stoked. 

    Maybe even play Hogan off Half Back and Midfield. 

    TMac must play forward

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
