Oh boy. Think the club has gone early after beating up the two bottom teams. Great production values but talk about tone deaf.

    If we lose to the Pies, maybe we can use all of the footage we're stockpiling to produce a six part netflix series titled "Goody's Last Dance"

    Putting themselves under pressure..

    interesting. 
     

    Make it work...

    See, i dont mind this actually.

    We have had a couple of 9 goal wins against rubbish oppo, but this keeps the heat on IMO. I get a bit more respect for Goody each time i see him getting up the team. In public he comes across as all lovey-dovey and soft, but this sort of video shows he has passion and expectations like the rest of us have.

     

    Cant fault the video as it shows how we responded.  2 good wins after a bad loss.

    If we beat the Pies, and maybe also the Dogs, this will look like a great post. If we lose both.... not so much.

    At least it shows something.

    Keep winning and they can post whatever the hell they like.

    Count me in.

    It wouldn’t suprise me if Pert is behind all this. He has worked in Media for many years. 
    The Whole approach this year has been to be bold and on the front foot. 
    This is most visable through Ben and his line of questions. 
    He is not afraid to ask the questions we want to hear. 
    This above Video is the same

    Interesting approach, we certainly haven’t had it before. 
    Win the next 2 and the season opens up quite a bit

    I guess they are actually keeping some of the behind the scenes footage going so I won't be shocked if we see a full fledged doco by the end of the year, though perhaps not if we don't make the 8!

    As for this, maybe pumping up our own tyres a little. Might've liked to see this come out after the Pies game should we win.

    It's promotion for the club and positive exposure for our sponsors.

    With the world the way it is, we should enjoy any win that we can get.

    Been a lot of negative comments on Goodwins lack of anger/personality/emotion and this shows some of it, I mean he is right the season right now is back on track, is it saying we are playing finals etc, but more it’s back in your hands, what will you do with it.

    Like anything like this, if we win, it looks great, if we lose then he cops it even more.

    Showed a side of Goodwin we had not seen before.

    I agree     Just keep winning !   and showing emotion or that you are invested in the result is not a bad thing....

    Didn’t mind it personally, thought the opening was great and makes us feel connected as supporters while they are flying all over the country. It’s pretty much how most of us felt after the Port debacle. Season back on track is by no means job done, that was just the first step.

    I agree - he wasn’t sugar coating or corporatising the situation. Neither was he stripping the walls or throwing teacups around, which some people think he should be doing. Instead he was putting it back on the playing group to rectify the situation in a logical way.

    As supporters of this Club we haven’t had much to applaud over the past 50 years. Personally I’ll devour any feel good stuff they care to throw at me.

    Or when we win you can serve up those words and eat them with a big dose of humble pie. But you won’t. Not many people here do. They ride and ride and ride. Players and coaches, and conveniently forget the good but amplify the bad. It’s as boring as it is dishonest

    Yeah I'm ok with it, it's a short 3 min clip as opposed to a 5 week doco series. Showed a side of Goody that I think a lot of people wanted to see and are glad they did.

    Goodwin swears a hell of a [censored] lot!

    i'll get shot down but don't care. way unnecessary from the media dept.. clearly just to show they are doing something or what? who signs off on this [censored]? bartlett was badmouthing the team ten days before and then this.. we lose tomorrow night (and god forbid next week) and this thread comes up like fire. of course i want my team to win and to see good quality behind the scenes [censored], but jesus... the teams we beat are nudda. keep winning dees. at this stage we are still in the 64th pit of hell.

    I liked it as well. Nice bit of content for fans to enjoy in this strange season. For those that don't know they've actually done 4 of these videos now starting from round 6. I would say that someone in the social media team read the room and thought fans were furious about our Port Adelaide game and held off producing the next video until they could show something in a more positive light.

    Here's the other videos for those that are interested.

    Round 6 vs Gold Coast

     

    Round 7 vs Hawthorn

     

    Round 8 vs Brisbane

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
