Favorite episode yet. That was great. 
 

Very interesting that Gawn and Jetta came to Goodwin’s house for the new player induction but Viney didn’t. 

A very good point. Jetta is just the best mentor around and a relative (correct me if wrong) of the Picket clan. max is very personable and his story and 6 years for the penny to drop was pertinent. maybe Viney is just too full on or max & new had a specific message to share.

Both Nev and Max had done what Goodwin was trying to instill in the Kids. 
living proof and one of them is now Captain

To witness the lengths this collective unit want to go to in order to make our club successful goes a long way to strengthening the connection between club and supporters I think. It might be my 'go to' piece of footage if I find doubt creeping in at any point during the season and am in need of a pick me up. 

Hope they keep doing this during the season, would be fantastic to watch.

I agree, it will be a good pick me up, fingers crossed we can make 2020 a great year.?

If they changed the name it would be getting the acclaim right through the AFL media that it deserves.

Sorry CB it's on the AFL website in a prominent position not far from Maxy's Captaincy announcement.

Fies Gill or Shocking have to promote it ?

Thats our job and the Club's!!!

Great episode. Is Shannon Byrnes still with the club in some capacity? Looked like him @ 7:35 during the new player segment at Goodwin's house.

I saw him and his family at the family day yesterday, but he wasn’t in club gear. Maybe he’s contracting in for specific things but isn’t staff. Or maybe he just didn’t have formal duties.

Added bit about formal duties

That is simply one of the best bits of non match day, Demon vision, I have ever seen.

The bit where Kossie is helped by his team mates to finish a tough drill is just magnificent.

How can you not get excited about our future?

nice eagle eye, had to rewatch but was without a doubt Shannon Byrnes

In 2019 Shannon was in charge of the new player welfare but I am not sure of what his exact title was in 2019. 

HB was even more emotional when he got off the phone after his invitation to train. He is entirely invested in doing the very best for his family and the Club. I loved the support he is getting from Stephen May. 

Obviously the way the players got around Kossie was the other high point. It reminds me of how Richmond players are said to have that bond. How would Kossie have felt knowing that they were there urging him on and getting down on the sand with him so that he could be the very best that he could be. For a first year player that surely is something that will remain with him and hopefully become an integral part of his journey with the Club.

 

Shannon Byrnes works in player welfare along with Matty Whelan

@Sir Why You Little  produced in house, if it was commercially produced we would have a sham marriage, whilst renovating a kitchen, then cooking a meal on an island, I asked, Gary Pert very proud of it

Johnny is giving the boys 'battle' training, he gets them to do [censored] I did 40 odd  years ago

He has one drill wherr the players have to forward or backward roll 4 times, then jump up and tackle a player

I suggested he tries what we did which was rolls and then hit a post, in sand, wrapped around with sandbags, you had to make the post move, or you had to do it again

He was all for it, but the spoilsport Ben Mathews said no ???

Yes i know it is an in house production, but the person directing this production has outside experience, that’s why it is flowing so well. I will be interested to see who it is when the credits roll. 
 

Cooking a meal on an island ? ???

WTF does that all mean ?

Personal attack, thought the humour may be a bit much for you, seeing that you have had yours removed, again much as you would like it to be, it was all in house

Ever thought the media team is recruited from outside?

Directing a film with amateurs  is easy, point and shoot,  they are just being themselves, it is the editing that matters, so the flow is seamless or seems that way

Wow. I get a lecture on Video Editing now

32 Years editing at Ripponlea and Southbank

Directing a film is easy, just point and shoot... Right ok ?

I will wait for the credit roll...

This whole series is a disgrace and not what the supporters want..... just ask Kane Cornes (will be man enough to admit he was wrong - doubt it)

Kane has said he loves it...made great viewing.

I'm not sure he admitted outright to being wrong but he thinks it's a great insight.

Pity he want off half c...ed before seeing an episode.

Not a lecture, practical experience both on film and video, that's why I get good action shots at training, just can't be arsed wasting money on a camera

I have had a bit of practical experience making films and TV shows to.

There’s a lot more to it than you currently know.
Ever been in an edit suite for 24 hours when a show “isn’t working” and it has to be finished at midday. Directors and producers ready to punch on, because each can’t agree on a certain sequence?

But they have to decide...and they know it

Post Production is a tough gig and the MFC doco has been meticulously planned i have no doubt...

Best moment of the ep for me!

You're on fire today WYL!

 

Really enjoying the series. The last episode was the best yet. Great insight into what this club is doing. We are so far ahead of last year and we’ve really got the right people into the club. Loved watching the boys get around Kozzy and get him through it.

Couldn’t get the grin off my face watching that. Man, I really hope Harley runs onto the ground in the red and blue this year. I almost don’t care what happens after that. It clearly means more to him than we could ever truly understand. 
 

And just watching them go so hard at it; I honestly don’t know what more a team can do. If success doesn’t come to the club this year, you cannot say that it was due to a lack of effort and commitment going into the season.
 

Even though they have no idea who I am and never will, I’m extremely proud of my boys after watching that. 

Tackle-coach-psycho-guy doesn’t mind saying [censored] and [censored] a lot.

 

This guy totally reminds me of Leopold from The Simpsons. He's a walking bloody cliche. Quite hilarious.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
