No need to import Goddard. I'm sure we can find someone amongst our current players who can sledge teammates, tip over food and point.

Brent Moloney was the best pointer in the business. No point settling for second best...

Very good player, his 2010 GF was brilliant, would have served a purpose a few years ago, but not at 34. I do think we need to consolidate our older guys with a new lot though.

Ask me to make a list of players I'd least want at the MFC and this bloke would be #1 with daylight to second.

Walked out of St Kilda in his prime to go to Essendon as a free agent.   If you think what Scully did to us was bad, imagine what the Saints fans think of Goddard.

Probably kicks and marks it better than Lewis and does a better job completely avoiding his man so he doesn't have to fall over or lamely pretend to tackle. But I'd rather just stick to the veteran we already have, given we're already on the hook for his money next year. 

Adding a couple of young zippy skilled defenders is what our backline needs. Goddard is the last thing we need.

St Kilda pushed him, they needed to rebuild as their list was falling off a cliff. Most Saints fans don't hold a grudge and would welcome him back for next year.

Could we get Brendon Goddard to the deees for a specific role ?? We don't currently have a leader type to point and yell at teammates. 

Goddard could fill that role....and he's good at it.

Cleaner has vetoed it, as he won't pick up his mess ( thrown food ) in the change rooms.

Lewis played well on Sunday

I dont think we should go for him because we need pace but he hasnt had a bad year at all. Averaged 22 touches or something. I wouldnt call him way past it.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
