Ok....your Goody.

What do you say in the huddle three mins before the bounce.?

I wish Daniher was talking to them as well.

    The coach in me says it's Max time. Coaches are over-rated. This team will win today if our leaders stand up. They have to drive the standards. The last few minutes should be all about them with Max having the final word.

    Stick with the "just be us" message I reckon.

    Don't confuse them with something different, don't make them overthink. Keep it simple, do what we do well.

    Yea....Ive been wondering what one could really say that would make a difference.

    Apart from the obvious about how hard you all have worked all year.

    Im wondering if the drought will be mentioned and what the win will mean to those in lockdown.

    But I know the boys are pretty gun ho anyway and have been shut up for two weeks waiting to get on with it.

    I also know this is a very close knit group of players and mates that wont let each other down.

    If I were Goody I would let Max talk if ID Probably just say....

    YOU MEN CAN WIN THIS. YOU DESERVE THIS. JUST PLAY YOUR BEST AND  LEAVE NOTHING LEFT. THIS IS OUR TIME.

    THIS IS YOUR TIME.

    THIS IS THE CLUBS TIME.

    THIS IS OUR TIME.

    I would be genuinely keen to know what does get said.

    I reckon it will be recorded, so that ifwhen we win we will have the benefit of it.

    I’m thinking the motivation might start with acknowledging the honour the players have already paid so well to we supporters and to the ‘story’ through the year and up to now, so that then they can be given permission to forget about it now, today, and they can concentrate on doing this for themselves, doing it like they’ve done it all year, and finishing this chapter of their own story. The more they can be made aware of what their best is, as individuals and as teammates, and that their best is the best, the best set up to win they will be.

    I think we project ourselves on all this. I reckon they’ll be ‘in the moment’, with just each other, and oblivious to the ‘fugazi’.

    When Goody was on 360 for his coach of the year chat he said something about giving his longer motivational story on the Friday, so may have already been done!

    Perhaps game day is more short and sharp, or as was mentioned above defers to Maxy and the leadership group

    If you haven't seen the video the club put up with messages from all sorts of past players you need to see it.

    Surprising not to see Neale but I reckon they'll show them a speech from the great man pre game!

    Could be nothing more inspirational than hearing from him!

    I'd keep it short & sweet, i.e:

    Target Bont's left knee

    Libba's ribs

    And Treloar's feelings

    Game will be over by 3/4 time

    The only message from Goody should be "keep doing what you are doing and i will see you for a beer in 30 minutes"

     

    GO DEES!!!!

    The boys have been talking about only two things all month: the 57-year premiership drought, and the die-hard fans stuck back at home. It's our time. I don't think the message will stray far from this, as well as go out and play the way we have all year, the way they have been coached to do. That's enough motivation. All Goody has to do is get them to believe in themselves, as most pundits and posters on here know that we have a better team.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
