That presser from Goody was bloody impressive.  A coach that does not speak BS!  quite remarkable

He is a different person to the 2019 version at pressers.

Genuine warmth and care for the players.

    Yeah, but is he still the right guy?

    I'd much prefer to lose Brayshaw than Jackson though. If we lost Jackson, are we going to be the next Geelong and spend the next 10 years trying to find a ruckman?

    I've been following Melbourne since the late 80s and we've always had a decent ruckman (O'Dwyer, Stynes, White, Jamar, Gawn, Jackson). Hasn't been a weakness of ours.

    Tasty morsel.

    I always saw Tim as on the money, back 15 years ago, when he was a Channel 10 luminary in the Eastern States. Is this still the case?

    Yep, biggest scoop of vanilla ice-cream ever.

    This just in, Andrew Brayshaw (scratch that - Nat Fyfe) will play for either Melbourne or Fremantle in 2023.
     

    See…………….I can do it too Tim 🤪

    And neither was that a successful era.

    Scott lycett/nathan vardy

    Toby nankervis

    Jordan Roughhead. 

    These are premiership ruckman.  Much prefer to have 2 way running, smart, courageous hard midfielders. The ruckman is the cream, its not the substance. Overpaying to keep Jackson and losing Brayshaw would be a decent misstep imo.  Also, Collingwood says hi.

    Just watched the videos of Angus and the press conference of Goody- I am now feeling that much more confident that he will re sign with us. 

    As an aside I am so impressed also how Goodwin responded to a question on how he would feel if Yze wanted to pursue his coaching career elsewhere.  This club really does walk the talk when it comes to being respectful- I am a very proud demon fan

    Hannan left because we had no more cash to offer him and Bulldogs swooped.   

    Hannan left cos he realised he would not make our GF side. Simple as that......

    We wanted to see him improve his defensive game, we loved what he did on offense but he simply didn't work hard enough the other way and would fade out of games completely as a result. 

    The dogs offered him job security and more consistent games in the seniors so pretty easy decision for all involved there

    Fortunately for MH he got to be there on the day when the team that drafted him had the ultimate success

    Just read that Carlton are now into Amon & Brayshaw....

    Given the amount they have spent on blokes like Jack Martin, Adam Saad and Zac Williams it would amaze me if they have much salary cap.... 

    Must be going back to the old brown paper bag days.

    Was that from a reliable report?

    IF Gus wants more midfield time he won't get it at Carlton with Cripps, Cerra, Walsh etc settled there. 

    Wishful thinking by Carlton.

    Who was teh last player we lost that we really wanted to keep? its been a while. Gus has been huge for 2 years and is obviously happy within himself and has matured to the point that becoming a fill in or in case of emergency player has not worried him. 

    Id be surprised if he left to be honest but who knows. If its a case of Lose Brayshaw to keep Sparrow would you be ok with it?

    Angus should be stripped of his Melbourne Premiership medallion if he ever goes to Carlton! (only half joking)

    He went missing when the team was under pressure and takes the wrong option on lots of occassions, I have the opinion he was and is an ordinary player who is just an opportunist and rarely creates goals from nothing.

    I actually prefer Brayshaw in the backline than on the wing. I feel like he is much better in defence. But I don't blame him for wanting to be an inside mid somewhere. He could be a top 5 Brownlow finisher if given a full time inside mid role somewhere.

    I would say Scully. Club wanted to keep him but he was never invested like Gus.

    Possibly correct and his best was at the Demons. Hindsight probably suggests in the end we didn't really miss him that much.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
