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 

Forget about the noise and what it means snd all the emotion and just give your absolute best and focus on being absolute animal maniacs at the ball

JV says hello.😀

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

simplicity, as always - "just be us"

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.

Thanks very much for telling me about this.

I just watched some of it that Jaded reposted on dland.

Brian Wilson gave one from a hospital bed.😪

Tx again HB well worth watching.

Enjoy the evening my friend.

In btw watching free to air channel seven and posting here it has kept me from using all my days beer provision.

I wish it was an arvo 2.30 game melb time match.

 

Has to finish with little bit off

“We take them here”

That’s just fantastic ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Let’s just be us. Defend really strongly and apply enormous pressure. Don’t let Bont have space, don’t let McCrae have space.
