Good little interview with Richo. Discusses his role and how that's been affected due to the soft cap. Also touches on how the coaches box works on game day. He highly rates Langdon and possibly even flagged our intentions with the whole Weids vs Brown scenario

 

 

 

Nice one. Brownie looks like getting a game after the bye, I'd bet.

How impressive is Richo? Fantastic.

Sounds like Brown will get another block of games post bye, which I guess most people knew.

Interesting to hear Yze is responsible for stoppage and ball movement, as well as "midfield", but that does make some sense.

 

I like how he spoke of Harris Andrew's lack of influence and putting that down to some of the work Weid was doing.

Edit: Just looked at Harris Andrew's stats - he took 14 marks and had a fair bit of the ball. Make of that what you will.

I think you will find quite a bit of that happened when Weid was off the ground. Haven't had a close look but I think only 2 of those marks were contested and a lot were them switching around trying to get out.

It was good to hear that the clubs strategic approach to the soft cap issue was going out and recruiting experience to assist Goody. You hear the names we've got at our disposal and they're as good (and experienced) as any in the competition - Richardson, Yze, Williams, Stafford, Chaplin . In contrast, I was listening to SEN yesterday and a Carlton caller asked Dwayne Russell "who's at Carlton to support Teague?". With respect to John Barker (now gone), Dale Amos, Ben Hudson, Cameron Bruce, Brent Stanton and Luke Power, we look to have them covered.

Of course! Can you really coach via Zoom though? Isn't he more of a mentor for Teague?

Surely that's 'support' though.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
