Goodwin: When you’re a new player to a footy club all you want to do is show off the hard work you’ve done.

Steven hasn’t had the chance to do that yet, but his attitude towards his training has been great.”

Hasn't actually been able to show off what he hasn’t actually done seems more to the point. 

Hasn't given himself the chance more to the point. 

Who is the boy to the left of Goodwin in the press conference? Why is you are bald would you wear a red toupee?

1920s prison haircuts are all the rage.

Worst group-think of any generation.

Goodwin: Jack Viney hasn’t been ruled out yet. 
He will have an important training session today + he will make a call on his fitness - he knows his body well.

Jack has a poor record of judging when fit to play.  By his own admission he returned early from his foot injury in 2017 and has had long periods on the sidelines and/or managed game time since. 
His game time was managed in games early in the season.  Ditto vs Hawks - he played about 2 of the first 3 qtrs (prior to the shoulder injury).  This suggests something other than the shoulder injury is causing the managed game times.
Have someone else make the decision!

Very good point.. I would not allow him back this week, next week on a hard deck in the West also a concern.

Jsck isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

So yes, i agree wholeheartedly with you that someone else needs to make the decision, not Jack.

“Weideman is sore and we’re looking to give him a rest this week?”  

The way goody put it made me think that weids body is quite ready fr week in, week out AFL. Understandable, it takes more time fr some than others.  And I like player management. But don’t put a 650k price in ur head when yr still on trainer wheels!

I wish it wasnt left up to Jack Viney to make a call on whether he plays. He always says he is right to go.

Listening to the Inside Melbourne Podcast this morning. Viney sounded doubtful that he will get up for this week, said there are a few things still to tick off.... but I think he's getting better at listening to the medicos and fitness staff at the club. He's trying to get fit, but I reckon he knows he's not right.

When I heard this (he will make a call, he know's his body well) I almost drove off the road...

Jack is the last person to ask.

I think the decision needs to be taken out of his hands, he's proven in the past that he is the last person to be given the responsibility.

We employ medicos for a reason. Once the player says they are right to play the final decision should always be with them in consultation with the coach.

You’ve got to be kidding. One generation’s groupthink thought the combover was the ideal way to address male pattern baldness. Surely that’s still at the top of the list.

I raise you mullets.

Agree.   All JV really know is that he loves to play footy.  Some serious professional guidance is required.

  • 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.
