Uncharacteristically large amount of photos of Goodwin smiling with the players this morning. I don't like the look of this; they look like they're having fun. Must be in complete shambles.

    Beat me to it. Was going to post the exact same photo with a similar caption.

    A big tow ball of muscle.

    Seems to me the claims of bullying have already resulted in significant change. Notice how the coaches all have kindergarten standard plastic whistles instead of the old manly, metal monsters? Being in club colours is a nice, non-threatening touch.

    Maybe they had a big win on the Dapto dogs last race last night.

    The doctor I believe has signed an NDA contract and is now allowed to pillory  the coach for being a bully.

    We have not heard a bad word from A Brayshaw who was the player in question or the parents of the players for the mistreatment of their son.

    Got passed on second hand info today, 15 players have run PBs so far this offseason.

    No injury worries at all.

    I'm off to knock on wood with a rabbit's foot while burning sage...

    Mrs Dw surprised me with tickets saying it was an early Valentines Day gift (Damn, if that doesn't put the pressure on). 

    So, what can Mrs. Dw expect for Valentines Day?

    Looking through the training photos, all I can say is that I am in love, never a finer bunch of men to pull on our jumper. We are going to murder teams this year, the scoreboard will get switched off, round three last year I said we would win by cricket scores when we properly clicked. This year will be unlike any year in half a century, we are Phar Lap for the first time since the 50's.

    Worrying report on Channel 7 news tonight showing Petty on crutches (apparently with a serious calf tear), TMac with a rolled ankle and Nibbler with a knee niggle.

    It's never good seeing one of our guys on crutches! 🤞🤞🤞

    Unfortunately I don't have a link to it. It was part of the sport report. The vision was of Petty arriving to training on crutches and TMac & Nibbler on the oval, but not taking part with the rest of the group.

    Normally it's a nice bunch of flowers but the pressure was on.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • 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?
