I keep getting flashbacks to last year when all we heard is.....

"It's where you are at the end of round 23"

And we know how that turned out!

"We’re pretty positive with where we sit. We’re still in the eight and we’re seventh on the ladder."

Hmm sounds Joe B from QLD feeding the chooks.

Well to be fair he didn't set any expectations around where at R23

I mean it is all about where you are

Unfortunately for us that means somewhere south of the 8th parallel.

This group would not know the meaning of consistency!  Whatever the coaches are preaching it ain’t working!

We must have the most unanimated, least interesting coach when he talks to the media. I keep hearing he is more animated off camera but boy he really gives you nothing. Not that I'm complaining. I'd rather a coach who sticks to the script then one who whinges and gives constant excuses like some.

Apparently all is well as he's still pretty positive about it all. we can all sleep well soundly now.

Much like Lewis last night, Goody has no option here but to answer questions, protect his players and protect the club.  It's what he does every week.  Would you be happier if he came out and smashed a few players for their effort?  Went off his nut about the game?  I doubt it.  He has to give a press conference every week no matter what the outcome of the previous game, so if you don't want to listen to it, then don't.  I have no idea what you really expect of him in these situations.

But that will never, ever happen.  Players are expected to front the media, while the coaches have to do these press conferences regardless.

In some fashion I can see that Coaches might ...but really ...they should command them. Just short sweet..that's it.

I don't really understand why any player need front the media...I really don't.

Totally different eras.  Clubs don't want coaches going off in press conferences, they want them to be measured in their responses and to be as uncontroversial as possible.  Get used to it as that's the way it is.

He could have spent the 10 minutes blaming our loss on the umpires, their poor decisions and a conspiracy involving the upper echelons of the AFL and illumanati who dont want Melbourne to succeed becore finishing by reading a series of 'mean tweet' comments from Demonland.

nah, more like Charlie Brown trying to fly a kite.  It goes up and gives you some hope before it gets entangled in a kite-eating tree.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
