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.

 

Yackety yack! 55 years of naff!!! 

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.

Phewwwwww....... that's alright then.... and here's me thinking we were in some sort of .....mire.

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

man the lifeboats !!

 

good grief,nothing changes everything remains the same.ground hog day.Wecome back neeldy

You know.... following the ?mighty Dees? always reminds me of being Charlie Brown...when Lucy's holding the ball.


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.

Be happier if they all said absolutely nothing.

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

want to see anger and passion ,smith  have and barassi would have it about time this club and footy in general started to react its all becoming so vanilla

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.

crap that is why we are where we are as as club time to stand up and yell

...and of course it would never depend on who your coaching?

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.

God i miss Danners.......................... THERE was a coach with personality.

  • REPORT: 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.
