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.

With ya and Goody here. I reckon we are in for a great ride in 2nd half with, I hope May, Salem, Hore and Lever back plus Hannan better for run, Weid starting to show a bit and encouraging signs from Smith and Brayshaw getting back into it a bit. Strap yourselves in Demonlanders. Season starts Monday for me.

    I did say hopefully not, did I not?

    Similar symptoms twice in 2 weeks? I think there’s a legitimate reason to be a little concerned for our coach.

    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.

     

    Look,  at our best we know we can compete. And although our percentage is a good reflection of how we've been belted, we also should have beaten both west coast and adelaide, which would put us in a much better position. The last month has been nothing like the first, even if the results aren't any better.  

    In an even year it's not ridiculous to think we can turn it around and have a dip, and a late season rally will do wonders for confidence and attracting recruits, compared to more of the same. 

    Finally the more games we get with Lever and May together, learning to play together, the better we'll be next year.

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

    This stood out to me too and I reckon he was a bit emotional re Neale Daniher question at the start but settled after a bit.

    Wow.  Dr Kildare to emergency!  Talk about pulling the proverbial pud.  Sounded fine to me.  Answered questions, stuck to his ‘talking points’, didnt fall over when he got up to escape.  Imagine if he farted, people would think he was about to die!  Come on.

    Some of you choose to ignore it and others are obviously unable to recognise it but Goodwin is struggling at the moment.

    The pressure he is under in that job is enormous.

    I think he was struggling early in the season. That we've played better football with a mounting injury list has probably improved his confidence. but he was undoubtedly struggling for answers early.

    Hey, to all those Docs on this thread, and there's obviously many, can one of you look at this nasty boil on my butt, I think it's having a panic attack...

    We’ll see. 

    It’s an opinion for sure but one that’s coming from experience. 

    The indicators are there for all to see apart from people like yourself.

    I'm no doctor but i doubt the boil is causing the panic attack. Unless you are perhaps a stripper and you are worried the boil wipl be seen by your audience. That  might cause some performance anxiety.

    Following the dees is my diagnosis.

    I think he is just very emotionally invested in the club eg 

    • In yesterday's video his voice gets shaky when asked about Lever's return.  A few weeks ago it became shaky when asked about the return of key players.  Both times it sounded like relief. 
    • His emotional reaction to the Sydney win (choked up a little) and (iirc) the Hawks win which is uncharacteristic (in a good way) of the usual calm persona.

    He said after the 'dizzy' spell a few weeks ago that the people around him advised to take it easy and look after himself.  Maybe he has just been working too hard, too selflessly. 

    Last week Mahoney and Chaplin took the pregame radio interviews in SA.  Pure speculation but it looked to me the club was trying to spread the workload.  It is not unusual for clubs to do this.  Thompson at Geelong and Hardwick at Richmond come to mind.

    He will be fine.  I'm sure the bye will be a welcome break, especially if we are really competitive vs the pies.

    You should be a doctor, Binny. Performance anxiety sounds spot on!

    It may well be however no need being a defeatist and I look forward to us playing plenty of good footy in the back half and give it to as many teams as possible that are aiming for finals.

    In addition unless your in you late 80's appreciate if you do not call me son!

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
