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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.
