Dean Kent just limped off at Saints training and likely to miss this week and maybe more.

So, who will play first - Kent or AVB?

    I am neither here nor there with Richo - I am wondering what the powers that be, see as the value that he would bring, and for what role?

    Would rather try and get Balmey back.  Success seems to follow wherever the old statesman goes.  Love his " say alot but give nothing" banter with the usual press injury questions also!

    I think Goody's been copping it more for the "after match" pressor responses EG.  Not sure he even deals with the standard injury stuff during the week.  In fact i can't recall who does down there.

    You certainly haven't seen / heard any of that the from myself.  The whole pressor scenario is a complete sham/circus with pretty much the same inane questions every week.  Don't really care how Goody handles them.   What he's doing/saying within the four walls is all that matters IMV.

    Personally I don’t see the appeal. Goody doesn’t know how to set up and play at the ‘G. We need a coach who has come from a successful club who’s home ground was the same as ours.

    Richo had no issue playing the G when he met us.

    Won 3 of 4 meetings at the G.

    I think that was more to do with his opposition rather than the venue.

    Yeah - let's get Malthouse. Could be a director of coaches?

    20 or so people who contribute to the Herald Sun were asked at the start of this season who would make the top 8. Malthouse was the only person who didn’t tip Melbourne to finish in the 8. He was lambasted at the time. Maybe he’s not a crazy old coot.

    As someone said he is very much the alpha male and I cant see him fitting in and supporting - he would want to be the dominant force. Pass.

    Ha! Madhouse hates us. Had always have us outside the 8.

    Regardless, he's a crazy old coot

    It's not about having any claim to fame on the G...nor having won a bit of silverware. It's really about having a footy brain and a normal brain that knows when to do what. I for one wouldnt judge anyone per se just  because of a StKilda association. There is no stranger fish than the StKFC. But he seems a reasoned and experienced football mind that seems capable of bending like a tree. We've got to many rock -types currently.

    Hell...he has our lot sussed.

    I saw him over summer down the surf coast with his missus. He was cracking it because pedestrians were walking on the wrong side of the footpath.

    Malthouse was probably telling the tree how poplar he is.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons are back at the MCG for the second week in a row. They face the Suns off a 15 day break without their prized recruit and former Demon champion Christian Petracca. This will be a massive test for the Demons who will be facing a genuine Premiership contender. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.

      The Demons snatched Victory form the Jaws of Defeat as they clawed their way back from 43 points down to win by 23 points in Max Gawn and Tom McDonald's 250th matches at the MCG. Never in Doubt!!!
