Sounds like the only change we will make might be a mid in for a half forward (eg. Tyson for Hannan).  Rightly, Vanders is still a few weeks away, but clearly they still rate him and think he can have an impact for our side going forward.

Can't wait for the game on Saturday night!

Gee he talks...it's just words...compete...it's do or die, bloody press conferences, where coaches spout inanities.. see ball get ball etc etc our time is now, no passengers, if we loose, it never really hurt them... :rolleyes:

 

WTF does this even mean " Goodwin: As a club, we’re starting to expose ourselves to these situations. "

He is saying pragmatically, the more exposure to 'finals' pressure games the better we get at them... and that is only good for the playing list to 'learn' how to play and experience it directly. That's WTF he meant by that.

Staggering that Goodwin would use words in a press conference. What was he thinking.

I'm staggered that we need to have the same conversation on this topic every week.

I heard he is going to mime the presser next week.

Give the script to Marcel Marceau. That'll be entertaining

Sick of the these bloody words. Every press conference he just keeps talking. 

If he doesn't express his views via interpretive dance next week then I say we look for a new coach.

I thought you were giving me props for a moment there @timbo  ie: "word mofo!"

Alas, not to be.

Haha! I’ve always been a hater of Barrett, I reckoned he’s mellowed this year and has been quite positive on Dees for a change!

Interpretive dance would work.

lighten up!  He might hate it as much as you do.  It is part of the job.  If he chooses to use ‘words’ to say as little as possible, then I’m ok with that provided they win.

I wood say that means, we as a group are starting to actively seek/desire the bigger challenges:  to take them head on:   instead being a bit sheepish about the bigger power clubs.

 

We are starting to lose the mental hangover; after being a beaten down Club.  And Goody is right. 

We won't lay down any more, with this current culture building within the Mf club;  at the moment.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

The words are not for the players; they are for the supporters and interested people. even opponents.

It's the players who are starting     to set the tone on-field,,, following all the coaches and assistant coaches since Roosy.

 

He's relaying where we are at to those who care.

  • 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.
