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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Travis Varcoe lurking at the back of the room ready to tackle him?

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!

I tend towards agreeing but I could be persuaded that Lever might not be match fit - he had to blow a lot of cobwebs out in game one and got injured in game two. Decided to give the person I was replying to benefit of the doubt there.

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

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.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
