    Don't think they've uploaded it on that link yet.

    Can see it on spotify though, thanks.

    Thanks for posting this SWYL. I can't see the chat/interview podcast. The latest podcast visible (We're going backwards) indicates it's a separate podcast to be posted. Maybe not up yet?

    Help needed by this dinosaur!

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    It is all a fog now.  Prior to the WC Home and Away match didn't we have a few chances before that to cement our spot?

    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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
