James Jordon also most likely to debut this weekend.

Gus and Gawny also let that one slip during their podcast this week. Looking forward to seeing him out there.

    Reckon we will get more out of Ben Brown in 5 games than T-Mac in 18

    If he only plays 5 games this season  we can assume we bought a pig in a poke.

    Correction... YOUR reality says his knee is a mess.  The removal of debris would suggest that the cause of his knee swelling has most likely been addressed.

    I reckon his knee will require ongoing management but look at players like Nick Riewoldt and Andrew McLeod who played many seasons with "crook" knees. We just have to get it right.

    Agree Sisso, Burgoyne was shot when he left the Power, we just need to be smart with his knee.

     

    I actually quite liked the interview, he knows exact what’s at stake, win finals or he’s looking for an assistant coaching job next year.

    let’s see how mature this group is, not adding another winger in the trade period could be a real mistake.

    Bring on 2021, we haven’t lost a game in months!

    Fine by me, i hope my reality is wrong.

    A fit and firing 60 goal a year full forward is like gold.

    DD36 thanks for all this, don’t get to listen to G and T,  

    does Max get help from , the coach or other ex captains,  or instructors who guide him through the early years of captaincy. 
    Not many AFL players are rocket scientists indeed some are barely articulate. They can play great footy perhaps but that does not automatically lead to the responsibility of leading a group of  players. 
    I know personally I can barely lead a horse to water.

    Hope the club provides some sort of structure for him.

    Come on Demons only a couple more sleeps

    and happy equinox. Couple of days yet

    MD don't know what your quals are but the players are not idiots like you inferred.

    Leading a  group  of Players does not require a degree!!!

    good footy knowledge ability to relate to people and a lead by example mantra is not negotiable!

    Simple pick the best candidate and hope for a bit of luck with injuries, etc.

    Just saw the interview. Simon looks terrible to me, there is no spark or enthusiasm. Looks depressed or simply the realisation that he’s looked at the mountain and it is too steep for him to climb.

    So, same as always then.

    PLayers aren't gonna run through brick walls for a guy that sounds like he is on Mogadon.

    Least interesting coach i can remember. Makes me miss Danners more each time i see Goodwin interviewed.

    We need someone who has energy and inspiration for his players. This bloke has neither.

    Flat.As.A.Tack.

    Been saying it for years....Goodwin is a fraud.

    He looks and sounds fine to me. Good spark in his eyes and energy in his voice. He struggles to pronounce longer words and can't pronounce 'r' sounds. 

    It's his post match press conferences where he refuses to tell it like it is that bother me, not the light and easy ones like today.

    Haha yeah i had purged Neeld from my MFC memories. Neeld was a failed Hard-man, but i had some sympathy for Bailey and thought he was poorly treated by the club.

    Agree on that, gave a frank assessment. Either on the edge of greatness or a precipice ?

    No-ones claiming to be experts, rather, merely some observations on what we observed. And body language is an indicator of mood. Perhaps we see it differently, but to me he was as flat as a tack, and if so, that feeling is passed on to the others, staff and players.

    I have mentioned this before Ernest. He looked terrible at the Information night late last year and even worse at the AGM. He was on for all of 2 mins and looked like it was the last place he want to be.

    One of the many quirks of our wonderful English language is that one who is down may be described as being "flat as a tack" but  a person who is clever can also be said to be as "sharp as a tack".

    What does that all mean?  Well, it's a tack so there must be a point.

    I suppose it depends upon which end the tack you're referring to.:D

    "Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
    And disregards the rest"

    Simon's press conference was absolutely fine to me.  He was smiling, upbeat and positive.  From much the commentary here I was expecting a Rhyce Shaw 2020 performance.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
