    Nah, it's just a bit of fun to expose the footy acumen of many here, not to mention the jellybelly culture.  I'd hate to be in the trenches with some of them.

    "Goodwin can't coach or has lost the players"

    "Not going on the camp was a huge mistake"

    "Viney's career could be over"

    "Brayshaw should give the game away for the sake of his health"

    "Trading Jack Watts is a major mistake"

    "Weideman is never going to make it"

    And the commentary on Hogan is too numerous to mention.

     

    The flogs and snowflakes who frequent this forum are many and a sight to behold and they need to (occasionally) be held account for their really stupid "opinions".

    I think the time out has done Jack some good.

    Putting a positive spin on things.

    He's still a young player and very much learning the game but showed some real footy smarts on Friday night that the old Jack might not have.

    Exhibit A:

    Loved how he ran out to the opposite pocket when he saw Hannan running toward goal down the members flank.

    Poor old Blicavs didn't have a clue which way to go until it was too late. Hannan nearly fell for it as well, luckily he showed the composure to kick the goal in the end.

    I reckon the old Viney wouldn't have been so cagey.

    To be honest I have had resrvation"s re Jack. My fears were that he would upset the chemistry of the Midfield.

    I have to admit I was wrong, because rjay's comment reflect the more mature way he approached his game. Maybe his time in the "gameday coaches area" would have given hi m a wider perspective than "see ball, GET Ball

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
