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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
