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?

You should start a thread and find out.

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.

Tim Gossage is a cheer leader for Eagles. Nothing more, nothing less.

Move on.

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?

I'm going way back and saying Scott Thompson. 

Jeff Farmer before that.

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.

I'd vomit if i saw Gus walking out in a Carlton guernsey

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

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
