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.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
