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"

    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.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
