I read the thread title and thought 'Goddard tips' was about his hissy fit entering the change rooms at half time

    Really MS does that add anything to the post?

    Old news Irrelevant really Are we going to recover?

    Yes but it needs all parts of the Club on the same page and  little bit of fortune.

    At worst 8 wins best 15 and dare to dream!!

    We’re at least top 6 next year.

    Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t know how to think.

    Think properly at least.

    His methodology is to rank Mids, Backs, Forwards & rucks. Top ranked gets 18 points worst gets 1. Add the all up to get overall ranking. 

    His rankings for us Mids 8th Backs 13th Forwards 14th. Ruck 2nd. Add them up and get 39pts equal with Dogs at 7th,

    Fun exercise to do our own rankings.  

    Our midfield ranked 8th for clearances and 5th for i50's this season. We know how many were effected by bad preseasons. Add a newly fit Petracca, AVB Langdon & Tomlinson to that midfield. I rank it 4th.

    Am I overrating a May & Lever led backline. I don't think so. I expect our backline to be right up there next year. My rank 4th.

    Forwards remain a worry. Don’t know what ranking was in 2018 when they were fit but we scored the most points for the comp. With the rest of the team firing and a fully fit forward line and remembering it was the highest scoring forward line in 2018 maybe 6-8 with good delivery. 

    Ruck 2nd. Says Gawny better tap ruckmand but Grundy gets first because does more around the ground. 

    My rankings add up to 60 which ranks us 4th.

    Seriously...you don't have to be nostradamus or an AFL legend to work out that we will recover.

    Legendary status is a fickle thing.
    If the ball had've bounced for Milne he would have been after his heroics during the 2010 GF.
    To the Aint fans at least.

    Goddard doesn't have to inform the world that what most already  know. I could have done that  and saved him the  trouble.

    Brendon Goddard has the Demons around the mark for a top-eight finish in 2020.

    He agrees with me.

    Last night I dreamed Saints pantsed us in a practice game, sinking membership sales. Does this mean I have MFCSS?

    No that is perfectly normal behaviour for a Melbourne supporter.

    This from a sulking whinger whose opinion I care even less about than that of Mark Robinson.

    I have never bet on this club. But I will be having a decent go this year for top 4. As good a list as we have had in a long time. Touch wood we remain injury free leading into 2020.

    St Kilda will not beat us for the next three seasons and you can bet freely on that.....

    It continues to amuse me how every player in the AFL is described in mainstream media as an “AFL star”. Even the first year rookies are “stars”.

    I have never bet on football figuring I lose enough emotionally let alone financially. But one time I did think I should have a go because I had a good feeling, so I resolved to put $100 on us to make the eight. That was pre-season 1998. We'd finished last 1997, but Neale was just starting out and we had finished the end of '97 on a high.

    It just felt right for recovery.

    I didn't put the money down in the end, to my regret. I say back your instincts.

    Yeah you are right. My opinion counts, he can then agree or disagree.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
