We beat the eventual premiers in Perth a couple of weeks before they won the Grand Final?

Straight bat. As usual, no accountability regarding our on field performance this season. With the exception of the update regarding a home base, I feel worse after listening to that.

 

 

So what is the up date RF? Or isn't there one.

We are currently in phase two of the project to build a home base within the MCG precinct. He didn't go into specifics regarding exact locations or time frames for when this will be achieved. He gave the impression that this project was well down the track and was progressing quickly. Imagine the impact of the pandemic will slow this process down while we pick up the pieces of the hit to the soft cap and balance sheet.

At least we know we are going for a location that is synonymous with this club rather than a Casey or somewhere away from the soul of the club, the MCG/MCC.

The club has one!

So nothing further than the past. I cannot see a Labor government failing on all side with no cash after the pandemic nightmare giving cash to a bunch of silver tails.

Frankly this is just full of platitudes 

i guess pert isn’t going to acknowledge and explain the rationale for baffling selections and team strategy e.g throwing Pruess up forward in the wet and what the coaching staff might have been thinking making ~17 changes over the last 3 weeks 

Pert fumbled a bit when asked about whether Goodwin would be coaching rd 1 2021 - refused to indulge in any hypotheticals if we lost our last 2

The alarming aspect for me was Pert highlighting 'great wins' this season against Hawthorn and Collingwood. Hawthorn are in full blown rebuild mode, and Collingwood had 3 or 4 of their top 6 players out.

We've beaten no great teams in Goodwins entire reign as coach, Geelong EF 2018 were just average, Hawthorn the week after the same. Any time we play a premiership contender like Richmond, WCE or a full strength pies we get smashed.

Apologies, I forgot about that game. Unfortunately the only memory I have against West Coast in 2018 is having our pants pulled down on national TV under the pressure of a preliminary final. Our game style gets shredded with an ounce of opposition pressure

It was a very simplified reason as to why we're not winning games of footy. It runs much deeper than just having lapses of concentration for a quarter. Goodwin has been saying for almost 2 seasons now in his post match conferences that we're working hard to get that right. The next questions should've been, "why in 2 years have the club not rectified that problem"? and "what are they doing to rectify it"? 

On face value it sounds like Goody will be head coach next year. Unless we finish the season on a high in our next 2 matches, it will be very hard to build support and optimism heading into 2021. Over to you Goodwin.

Kennedy was missing and Oscar knocked Darling out in the first minute.

We got lucky that afternoon.

As a CEO and given we are still in season, he really can't really do anything but back his people.

I was interested to note that we could start work on a home base right now, if we were not being particular about a location in the Shadow of the MCG.  I think this is the right approach.  

I thought he was less than convincing when the host asked whether Goodwin would be coaching Round 1 2021.  A simple 'yes' would have sufficed, even if he had to reneg on it later.

And jeez, he really does sound like Robert Walls.

One of the very few times we have stood up in a crunch must win game , and we also had a bit of luck fall our way that day IIRC  (darling went off injured early, no Kennedy) still one of my favourite all time MFC wins , breaking a 12 year finals drought 

I think part of it to was that we weren’t expected to win that day, compared to rd23 2017 and the last 2 games where we were favourites  - mentally does this playing group handle pressure of a must win game or when the opposition bring the pressure ? I still don’t think so

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
