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.

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

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!

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
