Get around the show tomorrow morning Dees fans - we'll have ex-coach Paul Roos and current captain Nathan Jones on! That should be great especially to hear from roosy and nath on the atmosphere and how the game played out. 

Also apparently melbourne are opening a 1hr media session tomorrow, putting up every player that played friday night.

I heard on Channel 9 Sunday Footy show today that the club would be making all 22 players from Friday’s game available to the media this week. This has me a bit worried. I hope it doesn’t distract players from the main game. We need to win the next game! 

Sport at this level is all about glory and I reckon it's great to give the boys a taste of what they're playing for. Make 'em even hungrier!

I have a feeling this was pretty much done last week and didn’t have a negative impact.  May not have been all 22 but it seemed like most.

This is the time for the club to get kids hooked into the team, we are not on free to air much, the last 12 years would not have attracted many kids, we have the characters in the team the kids love, get them out there.


It’s actually quite good for training for future years. What I also love is that it is something they are doing together (everyone is important etc). Also means no extra pressure on one or 2 players. I really like the idea.

As the OP stated it is only for a 1 hour session. They'll probably go light on media duties for the majority of players after that.

 

We need more Max Gawn ads ..I think even more companies would benefit from the bearded one. Right Max ;)

A bit of 'feeding the chooks' as they say in the National Party.

Get the media part done enough to keep everyone happy, then get back to focusing on the real job. Hopefully helps clear the noise from player's minds, 'That's done, don't need to think about that now.

Great idea by the club, everyone wants a piece of the Dees, get it out the way early with all of them present and move on to Friday.

I know people like to look for reasons why we lose, but i hardly think 1 hour of answering media questions when Monday is probably a light fitness day is hardly the worse thing in the world. Infact i doubt it has any impact on the weekend's game.

The posters who had a meltdown over James Harmes post game interview after the Sydney loss scoff at your common sense.

Melbourne are regularly praised for great player access and it hasn’t affected things so far.

TMAC said this morning it gets all the media out of the way in one single hit, rather than stagger out all week and distract, pretty clever IMO especially with a young team. They did the same last week from memory.

Very smart indeed.

Plus it's one hour, in and out ,and you're done for the week. No more media, and you can focus on the game from Monday afternoon onwards. I think it's a great idea!

We got some characters alright!!!!

This could just be the story of the Season 2018 and beyond if someone in the Media realises it...i do not think i have seen such a blend of charismatic footballers in one Team (look at the others) and there is more outside the 22 to come in......it could be like a movie that hasn't been thought of yet.

I don’t need a feed thanks - just the opposite.

I remember the days where you didnt even have direct line recording. You had to tip toe out of the room otherwise you could hear it picked up on the tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
