Brilliant interview. One of the better transcripts I've read through. Max has that rare and perfect blend of humour and insight when speaking about the club.

Re. Goody: "The members get a bit annoyed by him and media, because he's very much one message in his press conferences and quite monotone....." made me LOL.

    Me too. Murdoch doesn't get any of my hard earned.

    I've got to admit that Goody is one of the more boring coaches in media briefings but who cares - he's the best coach in town!

    In the Allan Jeans mould, give 'em nothing.

    Max is a deadset certainty to go into media post footy but just imagine his press conferences as a coach. They’d be must watch television.

    Max talks about his team mates (and coach) the way we do on the forum which I find equal parts enjoyable, funny and worrying. But he's true to himself I guess. That's the most important thing.

    I wonder if it was poor player leadership, the coaching or just the reality that maturing takes time that saw Oliver, Petracca and many others take time to buy in to really playing selfless footy.

    I don't think it detracts from the job of Goody to hold it together and the club to find the right assistants to provide an excellent structure around the players, but it's undeniably been a turnaround from the players that got things rolling.

    Geelong have the famous leading teams meeting where they called out Ablett, the captaincy change to Harley, Scarlett and Mooney laying down the law and 18 year old Joel Selwood giving them all a nudge along.

    I don't think our transformation has been quite as drastic. They flicked the switched in a year, where as we made progress through 2020 after a horrible 2019, but the end result is something similar.

    Mate, that's amazing.

    So easy to install and worked immediately.

    Thanks!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
