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.

    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!

    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
