Goodwin on Gawn: "He’s just having a light week. He’ll train fully on Saturday and he will play on Sunday. We’re really confident about that."

 

I was really happy reading this. Until I read the last sentence. "Really confident". Doesn't instil me with confidence at all. If they were certain, he would have said "We're certain about that".

    Don't like the statement about training on saturday....., nobody does that the day before a game.

    Don’t they have a “captains run” the day before every game?  They certainly do for interstate games.

    He's the only logical choice. Oscar on Franklin would be a sack-worthy misstep from Goodwin given what we saw in the last quarter against Geelong. Goodwin knows as well as we do by now that you put Frost on the opposition's physical freaks, not Oscar bloody-McSizzle.

    Nice turn of phrase.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
