Did goodwin talk to the crowd? Maxy Im sure would have been a hit with everyone. 

Goody mingled with the fans and was very accommodating. Down to earth and happy to talk about his "boys". He has always been this way, he hasn't changed. When asked about the injuries, Garlett and JKH are touch and go, but as far as he knows the rest will be in line for round 1. Yes, the lines for Maxy and Viney were a long wait, but all us girls formed our own line for Robbo24! More photos for the collection!

    Max?

    How would I know?  It came from another poster who spoke to an unnamed player. Good to hear though.

    Had a wonderful time with the kids who was on their best behaviour. Lines to Viney, Bradshaw, Gawn etc were long especially when you had to be next to the speakers. Gawn asked my niece who was his favourite player and she said “you!” He just laughed and said “you’re just saying that!” 

    Jones held up my little nephew in the photo. Got some great shots, but being they’re not my children, I can’t post them online. Bumped into a few people I see at games. Great to catch up.

    Noticed Melkshan was in arts and crafts. Made these neat badges for my younger niece/nephew. Being her birthday soon, she asked “Aunty Cass, can we go to the demon shop?” Ended up forking out over $50, but at least I’m set for birthdays now.

    All in all, a great day. Not too hot like last year and good to see even more people.

    My understanding is that Goody gave up on that plan for the extra two behind the ball about half way into last year.

    Cant believe players can be so inflexible !(or selfish) If they aren't mentally right about this then let them learn at Casey.

    BTW what did they do before Goody invented this move? Start on the forward line obviously.

    Please if this is one of our real worries we have got problems. Send them on a Camp to get their heads in the right place!!!

    Players don't dictate rules or positions in the game and definitely not in this Demons era of success.

     

    Relax, I have discussed this with some players, including at the Sponsors function today, they are just getting ised to it

    Only real issue is giving away a silly free kick for not being in the correct position that costs a goal

    Did any of the players mention anything regarding Hogan leaving and their thoughts about it?

    I didn't see Hogan there, and the players didn't either, so...out of sight, out of mind I guess. As Winston Churchill said, "Let us go forward together."

    The ladies were awesome to talk to today. Very approachable and quite obvious they were still on a high from last night’s victory. Grinning from ear to ear they were. Good luck to them next week.

    General question, Red, more a follow up on the conversation.

    Max had been around four a while so would know how the newbies are rated, particulary Bradke

    Robbo interviewed Bradtke at the function, seems to be an already popular guy amongst the boys

    Tommy Mc has been mentoring Bradtke on his forward craft, Robbo pushed Tommy under the bus by saying Tommy told him that Bradtke could be anything or nothing??

    The comment on tbe newbies came from Brayshaw and also Jake Lever

    Thanks Saty good to hear your comment. As they say "It will be all right on the night!!"  Hasn't changed my optisim for a stellar season and can't wait to see the Dees at the Cattery for a good old fashioned contest in a developing rivalry all of which helps build a smaller Club into a potential major player in the future.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
