For whatever you might think of Bob Murphy, he's great on radio (and telly, presumably).

I like Gawn's communication and how he comes across (a lot) but, and pardon the skepticism, it does not feel like the playing group seem all that concerned about the challenge ahead. I suppose it turns on your view of who Max is really talking to in these things (not the fans, I presume).

Sounds like Pedersen's papers are stamped and it's the Weid.

    I just listened to the broadcast only because of your comments and are mystified as how you can state that it seems like the playing group are not all that concerned with the challenge ahead, you must of been listening to something else.

    Second this. I can't figure out how a statement like that could be inferred from this interview.

    100 times this season a team has had a plus 10 inside 50 counter this year. 84 times the team with more inside 50's have won, 1 draw and 15 defeats. Melbourne have lost 5 games this season with 10+ inside 50's.

    If Melbourne miss the 8 they will officaly be the worst best team in AFL history.

    Recon we have missed Melksham big time last week.  I know he has probably been in the team for those 5 losses with +10, but he is both one of our best users and compeditors entering inside 50 and a real loss to a team that seems to struggle so much in this area.

    No doubt. 

    Melksham plays this Sunday we are a big chance. 

    Without him, i doubt it

    Disappointed Gawn was talking whilst being interviewed on the radio.

    CB we have had a season of talk from players and coach about everything you can imagine and still they cannot win a game against anyone of note.

    I am over the talk.

    Can they please beat the WCE's on the weekend. That action is all I am interested in.

    Also Inside Melbourne. Maybe they're just cool, calm, collected.

    It doesn't matter what I really think anyway, just a harmless opinion.

    They're not allowed to do interviews now?

    They can do all the interviews they like I am just not interested in them. The only interview I am interested in the one from Gawn after we beat the Eagles the rest is just static to my ears.

    Sorry OD, the one I want to hear is Jones holding up the cup saying we [censored] did it!

    He sure did: "He is finally into his own body. He looks strong. He is marking the ball, he is kicking the ball well. I think it's his opportunity to take it."

    Sadly that is never going to happen Jones will not be the captain when we win the next flag.

    Game is made of 1%  & Doing the preseason camp could have been the difference.

    I just think this group really have not left any stone unturned to find success

    Then why post in this topic, which is about an interview and comment on it

    Bit contradictory

    But why make the same comment every time there is an interview?  Personally I just cringe and reach for the off-button whenever I hear an interview because all that the players can trot out are the standard cliches.  

    We all know that action is what we want and that there is no correlation between talk and action. But we also know that these days players and coaches have to give interviews or the AFL goes tut tut or worse.  Blame the AFL and media, not the players and ignore threads about interviews (though they are usually more interesting than the interview itself!)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW REPORT: Geelong

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
