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

[poita 3,573]

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.

[In Harmes Way 7,477]

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.

[Sorry kids 635]

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.

[Matsuo Basho 1,053]

It honestly looked like he was having an anxiety/panic episode at the start. I hope he's okay.

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. 

[DubDee 20,363]

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.

 

 

 

 

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.
