For those who saw Goodwin doing the ‘devil horn’ sign from the bench on Friday night, watch this video! There’s value in everybody 🤘🏻

powerful powerful stuff @ctm - thanks for making us aware of the how significant the subtle can be.

Brilliant!  Thanks!

 

Note sure it has anything to do with that video, its a completely different sign. Ive seen Goody do it before and Ive got a suspicion hes done it towards the end of quarters and obviously a signal/sign of some sort to the players id say tactical.

Either way I cant wait until a full MCG give the team the signal after a goal or coming off after a win

It’s quite obviously a signal for some sort of onfield change or tactic. Same as they do in basketball when calling the play. 
 

I somehow doubt he’s interrupting players in the middle of a prelim just to let them know he cares. 


The players call it demon time. It means we slow the game down and play keepings off. Harmes does it often on field later in quarters.

 

thought it was a hang over from his time singing for King Parrot

I'm in!

Thanks CTM my wife and I both commented when we saw Goody give the sign / signal and wondered what it signified. Judging by the way the players love Goody I think it significant and all players recognise the meaning.💛❤️💙

I heard Garry and Tim interview this guy on their show a couple of weeks back: absolutely fantastic.

I’m thinking more nWo ‘Too Sweet’ wolf head when I see this gesture.

It's the set up, is it not? This is the play directly after the hand signal...

25 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

two at the front of stoppages

To me it actually looks like the horns formation. Cover offensive and defensive side of the contest and then cover the wing exit with Langdon, but leave enough space at the wing exit if we win it to run out of there. Conversely, Langdon would know to cover this dangerous space at the back of the stoppage. Certainly for a rushed kicked or slap into that space.

But the horns could also signify the defensive set up across half back, because if you look at the 5 match ups there, they kind of look like horns. 

Haha, am I reaching?

Edited by A F

it comes from team rampage in the aflx, cripps and fritsch have both done it as a celebrating and then harmes got on board and its being used to signify slow play or red time when we want to see out the quarter before the siren without conceding again. may and lever do it alot ball in hand as obviously they dictate the speed of the ball on the last line of defence

Then I think it must mean "c'mon guys be charitable and give a couple of goals before half time to get their hopes up before we smash them in the 2nd half"

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
