is it just me or does his voice sound a bit shaky/nervous at times?

    Lever, May, Hannan - can Goodwin find any more underdone players to bring in this week? Salem after a couple of weeks off, perhaps?

    I noticed that at the beginning then it settled a bit.  iirc, he usually does his mid week presser standing up.  Hope he is well.

    Surely Lever cant play in such a huge game with so little match fitness/practice under his belt. I might sound like a broken record, but it just reeks of desperation to play him this week. We have enough underdone players already. 

    As to Goodwins appearance in the presser, he has GOT to be feeling the heat right now or he isnt human. Hope thats all it is for his sake.

    Goodwin looks NQR, very nervous and upset looking, I wonder what the issues are? Health or pressure? Hope he's OK.

    Was also very obvious to me that he didn’t sound right at all for that first minute or so. Moments where he sounded just as he did with that last presser he pulled out of...

    LH, he definitely settled after that, no doubt... but the man can’t be 100%

    Seems more than just dizzy spells to me. Hopefully not.

    In what way is May underdone? He’s been training since forever and played a full, dominant game in the VFL last week.

    I don’t think there’s much more prep he could have done to prepare. You just threw his name in there because it suited your whinge.

    And it’s totally ridiculous to suggest Salem might be unfit after two weeks where he’s been able to train in full.

    Goody does sound a bit short of breath. But gees I love the message and focus he has.

    All those baggers out there can get stuffed.

    May and Lever might yet be fine players for melbourne and no doubt we need quality defenders but imagine from a pure excitement point of view if we were bringing in two experienced first round pick, forwards or mids for this weeks game.

    Definitely looks like nerves - he wasn’t like that at all last year so it must be about the perceived pressure. Hopefully he starts to feel better.

    Also noticed that he’s sitting as another poster has mentioned, so potentially finds that a bit easier.

    He was standing a couple of weeks ago when he had to leave the presser in similar viewing.

    Same arguments re Lever.

    Not so Bing. (From me anyway)

    My argument with selecting Lever is that he has not shown any decent form in his 1 and a half games since returning to the field. May played well last week so he deserves the call-up. Salem is an auto-in after only a couple of weeks out as far as im concerned. Lever has been out for a year and has not yet found his feet. I will be shocked if he plays a good game on Monday if selected.  As is said, it reeks of desperation when our season is essentially rooted already.

    I reckon he sounded OK, not half a bad as the other one.  probably just some mild panic feelings due to sustained stress, happens to the best of us.

    I actually found it hard to focus on anything aside from his eye brows. the right one is up, stayyys up.  left one is dancing around.  he must have a decent stink-eye

    ps, wasn't going to post that second line but i'd already pressed the submit reply button

    It's a Bing-Ding-Dong battle between you two!

    Seems stoned, is stuttering, long pauses,  lips moving with no words coming out at times. Weird.

     

     

     

     

    Could be the fact my internet at work is lagging terribly i guess.

    fair point but honestly we are desperate. An 80% Lever would do better what is currently there.

    Agree Hannan was brought back too soon however.  he was rusty as

    Yes, we probably are desperate, but that indicates to me that the club still think we are a shot for finals action, or the risks just wouldnt be worth it. I hope they end up being right ofc, but cant see us making it unfortunately.

    Rushing players back from long breaks (without games in the 2's to find some form) almost never works out well. 

    Especially in huge game like Mondays will be.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
