    Surely AVB won’t be right. I thought he was meant to be out for 12 weeks.

    It has already been around a month since round 1 and doubtful that we will be back playing before July.

    A point that Goodwin made in that article is a good one, Burgess has experience with tight turnarounds and condensed fixtures. The premier league is such a crammed fixture during December and having that knowledge of how to approach it could be key.

    No mention the Preusster. 
     

    He must also be good to go by now.

    Having a deep list could be a significant advantage in a compressed fixture as I think most sensible clubs would be looking to rest players week to week, to avoid burning out their best 22.  If Burgess and the selection committee can get that balance right as the season progresses, I actually think we are in pretty good shape.

    Conversely, I really do hope the league think things through and put a sensible end date on season 2020.  As MFC supporters, we have witnessed first hand what carrying too many injuries into a preseason does in 2019.  To be honest, I'm pretty much hoping that we treat 2020 as a development year to get key players and our system right for season 2021, which hopefully is something like a more normal season.

    The lay-off will be benefiting all injured players from all clubs you’d expect.

    having said that, clubs like Richmond with fewer (almost no injuries) don't have the same benefit that teams with lots of injured players returning from injury have.

    And, conversely, didn't I read somewhere that one club's players (was it West Coast?) have got their isolation training regime wrong  and a number of players have sustained soft tissue injuries?

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
