Look. FFS no-one is interested in your meandering drivel , you sound like Cliff from Clematis who’s heard a rumour . For heavens’ sake stop, think about  something  more interesting like growing parsley . Give us a daily update. Would  be  more interesting than anything you’ve contributed in months.

Quite a few people were interested and spoke to me during the the day. 

Thankyou that will be all....

Second hand sums it up completely

And same goes for a lot of posters on here, who have 'contact's within the club

I have heard nothing about Goodwin being told, in fact, the opposite, everybody just ignoring the noise

I think I would go with Chain when asked a direct question

Jesus you rate yourself pal.

Anyone with any inside info you don't like is pulling our chain, while YOU have all the good goss.

FKA

Nah, don't rate myself, just don't like second hand rumours, that contradict what another coach has said

If @Sir Why You Little is quoting something second hand, that is exactly what it is

Considering the team has been closeted interstate for a couple of weeks and taking in the history since Goodwin took over, that very little information leaks out, I was a bit dubious on his assertion that Goodwin was told to show more emotion on camera, going against his whole public demeanourĺ, that is my opinion

Don't mind some inside info, but that is very few and far between on here

I get a bit of info, but never advertise or broadcast it on here

Chaplin's answer was on an online forum for members

If you believe that Chaplin would be prepared to give the lowdown on the coach being told to lift his game you are naive.

And I didn't get any assertion from SWYL's post that Goody was told to "show more emotion on camera". In fact it read to me like he was told to smarten up and perform better. Maybe you just jumped to a conclusion that suited your biases?

I don’t know about his demeanour with the players but he has been an automaton outward for his entire tenure. Comparing coaches is difficult but we all Daniher the Reverend because of his change in the early naughts to being a spruiker of the club. And I think that had an effect on the club itself and I thought it was important. Goodwin needs to show more passion and personality as a coach outwardly - what he does inside the club is a different story. He should do whatever he needs to keep this form of the last two weeks up for enough of the season to get us into a finals run.

He has enough talent at his disposal to do it - and that’s regardless of passion and histrionics.

As soon as I saw that image on the video I knew there'd be a thread along these lines.

So cuffing predictable.

Don't ever change Demonland.

I thought the same the instant Cody Weightman kicked that goal, a DL thread will pop up/be revived discussing taking Kosi instead. Sure enough!

This topic is titled 'Goodwin shows some emotion....finally,'     I took that as a hint and it was exactly what SWYL meant

Chaplin was asked directly about Goody showing emotion on camera, said  'it wasn't his style'

The camera caught one instance, I am sure there are one or two a game the cameras don't catch, but he is not one for constant histrionics

I don't see the need for a coach to show emotion in the box. Better to look calm in a crisis and not look like a whinger (you know which coach I mean).  Goodwin has always shown emotion when we have had a good win, so to portray him as emotionless is bunkum.

I haven't followed the 'battle' about who told whom what, but I doubt if anyone told him to "show more emotion, that will help the team because the players' eyes are peeled on the coaching box".

I’d say the best coaches of the game have all been of the “emotional” persuasion. You could hardly call Barassi, Matthews, Malthouse, Jeans, Whitten et al “whingers”.

Maybe just maybe he wasnt ready fitness wise or his game wasn't ready, he had things to work on?

Now that he has fixed those thing we are seeing the benefit. If he was played earlier before he was ready we may have not. Its called good coaching.

good coaching? geez. Goodwin is the only reason we aren't a top 4 team. 

When's the last time T.McDonaldhas taken marks like Weideman did on the weekend? Weideman should've been the clear choice. These guys have been playing competitive footy for 10 years plus, you don't lose your ability. Nor do you improve greatly on a week to week basis. 

Like Bennell. he was chosen for selection, played 50% game time which equates to 32 minutes and then is told he needs to work on a few things. Jesus Christ, good coach? lol

I think he simply misread the room. He thought with the shortened games the quickest team would win. That's why he preferenced small forwards over having another key forward, that's why he wanted Bennell to get a couple more weeks in him rather than go at 50% gametime, that's why the players were going gung-ho at a frenetic pace. He was proven wrong and so has rejigged things to go with a more traditional setup.

It's a shame because I genuinely think we should have beaten Geelong and Richmond and that's on him. But at least we've got it right now and if we can keep up the form we saw on the weekend I don't think anyone will be complaining.

It's almost like he isn't stubborn and in fact is willing to make tactical changes her thinks will help win?

Beat me to the punch, I just came to post this. Great question from Gibson, who obviously reads Demonland (hi Ben) and great explanation from Goodwin about the need for calm and clarity in the box.

It’s these types of answers from the coach that convinces me Goodwin is a high quality leader. Stuffs me why supporters would prefer a coach who loses his cool and cracks in high pressure situations.

“If you’re emotional, it’s really just a self-indulgence thing and it takes you away from what’s really important.”

Its well said.  Now keep winning Goody and become a legend.  First MFC premiership coach since 1964.  Someones gotta be the one.

You just don’t believe info that you haven’t heard...

It bothers you...

I have been privvy to a lot of information over 6-7 years, most of it coming to fruition  

i don’t always quote it on here, but seeing a noticeable change from both Goodwin and the Gamestyle i thought i would pass it on

I’ve been watching all the video content the club has put out lately, and Ben has been doing a really good job. His questions are well thought out and often asks similar questions to what a supporter may ask. This is another great example.

Have you watched the video above Scoop

I don't believe a second hand piece of information that contradicts everything I have been told or heard

Never said that your not entitled to believe it

The game plan hasn't changed and you made no mention.of that in your original post, the personnel to successfully implement the game plan has been tweaked

Give it a rest mate. You weren’t there i don’t care what you believe.
i have no idea what your last paragraph is on about. 
Quite alot has changed on the field over the last few weeks, more than a few tweaks both on and off the field. 

It is not hard to see even via a TV Screen ?

Meh,  he doesn't show emotion to the players at the quarter or 3 quarter time breaks.

I'm not going to be blinded by this rubbish. We should be a top 4 team with our list.  17th last year and 12th now. not bloody good enough.

My assumption is that those types of supporters don't actually understand "emotion". To them you are either calm or violent/angry, and any subtly between them is lost. Those supporters don't want to see Goodwin smile, laugh or cry. They want to see him yell and scream and break things and lose control. Pretty toxic, if that is your only measure of "emotion".

I have been super impressed with club's comms and media this year. Just terrific.

And Ben Gibson has been a key part of that. Love how invested he is in the club. Has settled, got his confidence and is now a good performer behind the camera. Knows his stuff, players etc respect and like him.and he asks good questions.

Though for me he missed the obvious one. What made him angry in that ladt quarter?

I think it is great that he is cool and calm in the coaches box and at games.  As it should be.

But his press conf/interviews have been dull with repetitive commentary for a very long time.  That is where fans see him the most.  He is our main window to the club.  The videos could almost be replayed week after week.  It is good that in the last few weeks he has seemed less robotic and more energised.

They are also mistaking "emotion" for passion.

Benny has been very very good.

Love the pre game he does as well with the players and coaches.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
