That’s utter tripe and I’d go as far as to say you’ve fabricated that, or at the very least the person who told you this has.

I will go along with that, had similar thoughts when I first read the post by general malaise

    Whatever you reckon Macho.

    Go as far as you want. No axes to grind here.

    I don't know him at all, but I was talking to someone last week who does. Regards him as a 'good mate' and has reasonable shared footy history.

    Totally unprompted by me he volunteered that Goody's a 'control freak' who 'won't listen to anybody'.

    There was more that suggests he won't seek or listen to a new mentor figure.

    Could be why Jennings ideas weren't heard.

    From a quick look, it appears the General has had the odd good mail in the past. So that, combined with the fact I've heard similar things (albeit third hand), means his comment should at least be listened to.

    There has to be more to the story of this vision from after the Crows game in Adelaide which we held on to win.

    To me it looks like perhaps Jennings and Goody had a disagreement on a strategy. Goodwin ignored Jennings idea. We ended up winning despite that and Goody let Jennings know about it with a "told ya so I know what I'm doing" slap.

    Gee we are probably clutching at straws but that is damning vision. Jennings body language says it all. No response. Looks completely embarrassed or defeated.

    I really like what Goodwin did there.

    Did Jennings ever smile? I certainly didn’t see one. 

    That video footage is very interesting. Just won a nail biter and Jennings is far from happy..

    A perfect example of confirmation bias.

    However Jennings has a history of not showing much emotion in the box 

    Same sort of vision when we beat west coast in 2017 , tmac bicycle kick game , so not sure if this is an isolated incident . Also look at the vision when we beat Gold Coast earlier this year,  they don’t call him stone cold  Craig Jennings for nothing

    Still a very strange reaction when everyone else is stoked...

    I'm wondering if Craig Jennings is the sort of bloke to eat fava beans and drink Chianti and have a walk in meat freezer in his home.

    On the clip above, to me it looks like a sigh of relief by Jennings. Geelong toasted us in the last quarter the week before, Crows almost repeated it and he’s silently like ‘ thank f..k Nibbler’.

    I never said it did. You're good at presuming for other posters. 

    It is clearly a reflection of the disfunction/failure of our present coaching set up - against what many of the happy clappers have been saying. I think I have worked out what camp you're in.

    You certainly implied it with your "but Goody's the man" comment. What did you mean by that if not a snide comment at his future prospects?

    There seems to be a level of anger behind your posts, I hope you're not this miserable in the real world. We all love the club but at the end of the day it's only a game, your teams performance is not a reflection on you.

    He also didn't give a rat's when Tom McDonald kicked the miracle goal at Subi so surely just 100% pure Stone Cold.

    The other assistants in that interaction appear to be in Goody's ok box.  Each of them gets an acknowledging /friendly pat, back slap or in the case of one, even a hand shake (somewhat closer than the others?). but there still doesn't appear as if there's a "relaxed/genuine" open camaraderie there in a general sense.  Alot of tension IMV.

    As for Jennings and Goody WOW!  A slap on any part of the head from another dude, particularly over the back of the head like that (across or on the face also) a huge no no / put down and a massive red flag that there was/is no love lost between the two.  Very aggeessive response by Goody and indicates a major breakdown of trust/openness between them at some point IMV.  I'm surprised Jennings didn't move on earlier after seeing that vision.

    According to reports, some senior players were very fond of Jennings.  Jones very keen on Jennings also.  I wonder if this incident and the fall out between the two (Goody & Jennings) was part of a catalyst that's slowly spread right through the playing group from the Captain down following the Adelaide win (earlier?)...

    Extract Courtesy of AFL Nation:

    ..." Melbourne co-captain Nathan Jones endorsed Jennings last year as a senior coach-in-waiting, praising his tactical nous and ability to present ideas in a "refreshing" manner.

    "He's one of the best minds in footy I've seen," Jones told AFL Nation.

    "He is quite quirky, particularly in the way he educates and teaches players, which is terrific, really."

    P.S. You would have thought we'd win a prelim or better the way Goody reacted to that.  Just a regular H&A win.

    Great backyard body language analysis, thanks for the laughs.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
