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.

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

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
