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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
