  • Goodwin: Steven May is right to go. He was very close last week, but he’s trained strongly so it’ll be good to have him back.
  • Goodwin: Jake Lever trained yesterday away from the main group, but we expect him to be fine. He’ll train again tomorrow + be right to go.
  • Goodwin: Collingwood has some really elite small players who can mark above the head. We will prepare for whatever set-up they go with - tall or small.
  • Goodwin: We’ll take the wet conditions into account at selection. We could go with Harry Petty as the main tall up forward, or we could have a mix.
  • Goodwin: We think Angus Brayshaw has really started to round his game out well in areas other than just his offence. He’s a really important part of our side + we’re happy with how he’s tracking.
  • Goodwin: Macca has made a great contribution to the club over five years. He is a really close mate of mine + has been an unbelievable mentor. The time was right for him to depart, but it’s sad to see a great mate leave + he’s had an enormous impact on our playing group.
  • Goodwin: This is the time of year where you get linked to a whole range of people - players, coaches + staff. There are some great footy people out there, Alan Richardson is one of them, but that’s not something I’m looking at.
  • Goodwin: I thought we challenged Richmond for half the game last week until the conditions changed. Skill level has been a big issue for us, but I think there are positives to take out of the first half of that game.
  • Goodwin: The captaincy next year is the last thing I’m looking at right now. Nathan Jones + Jack Viney have done an incredible job for this football club.
  • Goodwin: The players are looking at the next three weeks as an opportunity. The spirit of our players is high.

He's really scraping the barrel of things to say now.

Why can't we ever hear the questions on coach pressers? It is really annoying

Microphones are not that expensive ffs

A winnable game for us if Goody is on the job.

Not all people are natural sales people - but I agree his PCs are pretty tame.

I like @Demonland summary so i don't have to watch the vid.

But Goodwin is a captain of a premiership team, I'm pretty sure he has some leadership and inspiration about him. Because we don't get to see it in public docent mean it isn't there.

Agree totally. But he has to put it out there soon otherwise he is out of a job. 

With The Filth’s injury we should win, but i know we won’t. 

We are not fit enough to play Goodwin Football. 

Why is this allowed to happen...

I think I also heard him say he is NOT looking at getting Richardson into the club. 

Why change anything. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it obviously. I must be looking at a different game and team on the weekends

I always find this stance interesting. Not having a go at you as I’m just generally interested, but what would you like him to say?

Post this nightmare season will be fascinating. The President and The Board better sort this all out, and get it right...

I can write you a shell script which can automate the authoring and posting of these one dimensional comments for you. It will be a simple script with minimal parameters, consistent with your normal output on Demonland.

It will free you up for other things like yelling at customer service staff or whinging about franking credits, both things I assume you do regularly.

When did Goodwin captain a Premiership team UH?

Its no coincidence we have low value Assistant coaches. He has orchestrated that scenario.

This is the most unprofessional aspect of AFL media IMO. For years fans have been complaining that we cant hear the questions in weekly pressers.

It is just laziness that the problem hasnt been fixed.

Good One

I'd have expected the message to sound like:

  • We've averaged 91 points against since the break, we'll be working hard on defensive running in the midfield to stem the bleeding
  • We don't have a forward line that can kick 90 points - we'll be going back to a 2014 Roosy approach where we embed defence first. Especially in the wet. We will win this game by limiting opposition scoring opportunities.
  • Speaking of the wet, we saw again last week after half time that we're still too cute with a slippery ball and over possess, as we have been since I started as coach. We saw first hand from a good wet weather team how to play in those conditions and we'll be drilling the players to implement the same this week.
  • Our quality of disposal on a turnover isn't great - we're not going to go flat out at every opportunity because we've seen that we just give the ball back far too often. I'm frustrated, and I know our supporters are frustrated. 
  • We were good for half a game last week. Yes - there's something to work with, but you don't win games of footy being good for a half. 
  • I understand why our supporters might question our leadership/captaincy when we are consistently beaten week in week out and our leaders are not demonstrably leading (eg laying tackles).

He didn't say any such thing at all, would be an idea if people just stopped making things up.

You're better than this Smokey, just walk past if you don't like it (or ignore, which I found worked wonders with Matsuo).

Is Richardson the messiah? Is he the only option?

Not making it up as I said it’s what I thought I heard.

This years membership would have been worth it for a song and dance number like this.

"No, Good sir, that's a fugazi accusation"

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
