After highlighting the immense worth of having Lewis in the side and praising him so highly, I certainly hope to see him in the side on Saturday against the Saints, not in the VFL!

Too much talk and no action

Well talking is the main form of communication ?

Yes how else was he going to answer the questions?

They obviously should have played the game immediately after the press conference and won to appease the rabid hordes.

I'll think you'll find that the major % of communication is non-verbal

Winking with a cocked hand gun will only get you so far at a press conference or interview though.

Ask Bernard Tomic..

Lever's recovery is sounding pretty positive, Goody looks stoked with how he's coming along.

I think you’ll find otherwise

98% of communication is non-verbal.....sorry

He could have taken the Buckley approach- my answer is going to be shorter than your question. Yes. No. Maybe.

Not when it's public communication via TV - and even less via radio.

The figures that are bandied about are largely a myth, exclude vocal communication (e.g., voice intonation), and focus mainly on one-to-one communication in social settings.

Let’s not get into semantics here. You know exactly what I mean. Goodwin is delivering his message by talking, in response to a question he’s been asked verbally.  

When people say ‘less talking, more action’ or words to that affect, in response to a player or coach who’s holding a mandatory press conference, you have to shake your head in disbelief, or maybe laugh and shake your head at the same time.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
