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!

Here:  Media Conference: Simon Goodwin 4/7

[Young Blood 2,639]

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.

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

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[beelzebub 23,390]

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.

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.
