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: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
