Goody Presser (8/8)


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Come on mate, you go out of your way to find things to whinge about and criticise the club continually.  I doubt there is a single Demon fan who is happy with what has transpired this season,  but bleating on an internet forum doesn't help anybody.   Unless it makes you feel better?  Or maybe you're just a troll?

*responding to Sorry poster, not DemonOx!

All comes down to interpretation sue. 

No, DOX, I think you extrapolated rather than interpreted what he actually said.  Your extrapolation may well be right (I have no idea) but it was beyond the literal meaning of his words.

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...

Yeh i agree. We should be looking to knock off the filth this weekend... and we won't.

I can't answer those questions as i don't know the exact reasons why we've dropped the ball (pardon the pun). But i think there are a lot of balls in thr air on this one (my personal opinion)

No doubt Goody needs to put some Ws on the board. 

But like i said you don't get gifted captaincy at an afl premier. Hes got 6 months to sort it out.

Why panic, it's not like change will change our fortunes? History says we arent likey to become a successful club. Whats the worst thing that could happen by giving him a go at attempting to build something? We will still suck?

Here's a little something I'll share from a contact I have.

Recently, Goody spoke at an event to a small group, (I won't divulge) but there were no media in attendance.

The first thing I'll say is that both my source and I have been critical of Goodwin and his media performances in the past, however at this event he was very different, was honest and opened up a great deal more regarding this season.

Some talking points and discussion:

* The disruption and snowball effect the pre-season surgeries had cannot be underestimated. Didn't have nearly enough time with the players to not only get the required conditioning in, but to run and trial drills, build cohesion etc etc.. (We all know it's had an impact but he stressed the point again).

* He believed in some ways that we were lucky to make the prelim with the list we had. We were slightly ahead of where he thought we should be by the end of last year and the hype that followed us into this season was too much.

* There are some issues with staff and coaches right now and there will be big changes made end of year. (The event was held before the McCartney news broke)

* The main message was that there will be some big changes to both playing list and staff at the end of the year. He doesn't believe we have the list to take us to the promised land.

* Goody didn't say this but my source got the impression that a captaincy change up could be on the cards. (Gawn).

 

I'll put my hand up to say that normally I'm hyper critical of Goodwin in media interviews for the lack of insight and information he shares, but I was assured that he was a completely different character away from the camera. 

Thought I'd share, looking forward to the end of this year.

When did Goodwin captain a Premiership team UH?

I assumed. Cbf looking up when he captained them.

Does it really change the point or do u think they give any goose leadership positions.

By the way maybe you can use this opportunity to advise us on your thought and experience of leadership in professional or even non professional organizations

Well he did not Captain a Premiership side-fact. Yes it changes his point significantly. Premiership Captains are highly regarded. He made the statement to make Goody seem impressive , not me.

Goody had not success as an assistant at Essendon. Fact

Five years in at MFC we are 17th. Fact

I am not your mate and will continue to post things when I think the Club I have followed for 55 years gets things wrong and in my opinion they got the process of selecting Goodwin wrong and we are paying for it now. So you stay in la la land and believe that was a press conference worthy of someone being paid something like $800.000 per year. You are on ignore.

You haven’t asked him for a coffee?! The club has got everything wrong in your mind.

I read your post first then the quoted one. It sounded much better in Russian robot voice. 

I couldn't resist doing it too.

Though it ended up sounding more lime the south african bad gut (the blonde one) on die hard

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?

Butting in... I want him to straight bat with more confidence.

I'd like Goody to say "the game style requires all 18 on the field to function at a very high level. When it doesn't work it fails completely, but when it does work it's football that will win finals".

I agree with @Sorry kids that his media impression matters to the players, even subconciously. However, I also believe @stevethemanjordan that Goody is a world different when not on camera.

Goodwin is making a lot of mistakes, but he's learning...

And, like you have said (and many others) he's got half a seaso to turn it around

Yes, but I expected to hear a different persona as that turning cycle has begun. 

Saturday will be like the rest. We will show great effort, and our scoring will dry up in the 3rd Quarter...

This is what I've been banging on about.

Happy to know we are not falling for the hype, that's been a real issue with other clubs in the past.

When a club overrates it's list it ends up in tears...

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.
