I'd like to see Goody reprise that pre season catch up with Mike Sheehan down at the Sorrento Hotel but with the premiership cup on the table this time.

    Maybe because it's pre-season, maybe because it's a highly controlled environment, maybe because he's had a huge weight taken off his shoulders. Goody seems very relaxed, and more assured with his speaking.

    Yep, a premiership will do that for you.

    And there's no question; it's Two Twenty-two, not Twenty Twenty-two.

    Still, a premiership in either will be just fine...

    I'm not sure if any post could make this thread veer further off-course Timothy, but just imagine if Archbishop Desmond Tutu had passed away at 2.22 on Tuesday 22.2.22.

    Veer? That was too good for it not to, Mr Stone, to be sure. Brilliantly unearthed, too.

    Richie Benaud sends his best from the other side.

    1, 1 was a race horse

    2, 2 was 1, 2

    1, 1  1, 1 race and 2, 2 1 1 2.

    They do seem like very vigorous training drills in that video.

    Is this just a repeat of the first post, with a different photo?

    Almost the same, but this time he's trolling the pedants by saying "hone in" instead of the correct "home in".

    Maybe he's getting them sharp.

    I thought Goody wouldn't be around in 22. I'm a fickle fan but I'm glad he is still coach.

    Gone from his job on the line to the club's most successful coach in close to six decades.

    You got me thinking, Mr Stone; I realise I've been in the camp  muariesy's quip identifies. So, online I went, and Merriam-Webster there has detailed etymological discussion approving both for the purpose of saying (to use M-W's suggested confusion-avoiding alternative) 'zero in' on something.

    Regardless, I'm expecting Goody's next update to refer to zero injuries or other issues, with skills and fitness being further honed, and all directed towards a home premiership.

    Isn’t it strange how a lot of coaches have been on the chopping block then gone on to win the premiership. You look at Hardwick, Clarkson, Thompson. Their fans wanted them gone, their boards stuck with them and they all had dynasties. 
    Hopefully we’re at the beginning of ours.

    Yes, I did! Hitherto the only Miriam Webster I knew of was the dictionary.

    except it's merriam-webster not miram, but close enough for a cigar (but not a premiership cigar)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
