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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
