So, Goody steps up, what does he say:

  • we lacked connection
  • were hurting, we know our supporters are hurting
  • we are gunna keep working
  • its little things
  • we got a week and a half to go back and work on it
  • we are in this together, we are unified
  • they we’re a great team, the tigers.

what do you reckon?

 

Something about a process and we aren't happy with where we are at etc etc

 

"we are easy to play against"

"Judge us on our performance... Next week" 

"I am relishing [censored] taking a team from the prelim to bottom 4 in 7 game, it's a great learning curve" 

"We will learn from this" 

"This is not our brand and we need to get better" 

"We didn't see it coming"

Spot on.  Same old rubbish.  What you won’t here  

 - We are lazy

- we cannot take a mark inside 50

- we handball to no one

- we have no grit or hard edge

- we create turnovers 

- we thought it would just happen 


Reckon he will play the injuries card. It’s due to be played.

For those bitching about Goodwin and his soundbites to questions that are posed to him... I would love to see your own responses to them (seriously, write them down)...because I suspect there is nothing he can say that would appease any of you? 

I'd hate to be a coach and be under scrutiny publicly week in week out....and having to justify/explain/mansplain reasons for a loss...

Exactly.  He plays a straight bat to the media, and so he should.  It will always be that way.

The only team we beat last year out of those we’ve played was essendrug. We lost to swans. Looks like we had an easy draw.

We beat St Kilda.

Can anyone photoshop Neeldy as the driver?

I want to thank Demonology for inspiration:

Put relative speed on the wings (not Lewis and Jones).

Jones HB

Lewis hiding as the anchor

Hibbo up the ground.

TMac defence.

Spargo and Wagner out.

 

I finally found the angle-grinder to get the magnets off the whiteboard.

Get stuffed

His response...

- we look good until another team takes the field

-scoring has never been a priority

-the new rules heave hurt us, I’ve been aiming for a rugby style game and this new ‘football thing’ has really hurt us

 

“We’ll review this incredibly strongly as a club. 

We’re hurting as a club. The coach the players and obviously the supporters.

We’ll continue to work incredibly hard to rectify the areas of our game such as forward connection and defensive running.

Blah blah.”

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
