“Sound the Alarm” The Goody Mic'd Up Documentary


Dee Zephyr

Recommended Posts

Some really interesting insights.

Of course the club only releases what they want to release but it surprised me how nurturing, encouraging and calm Goodwin was. There was an unshakeable belief that even when we were down we would 'get it going''. That takes some courage as it must be so tempting do something dramatic to get a spike in performance.

I reckon there would have been plenty of censored material left on the cutting room floor😉

Let's face it.
Not too many dog supporters would be watchin' it.
Made for Melbourne supporters consumption I'd suggest.

This was disappointing, I don't need to rub it in by seeing Bevo have a miserable one but it would have been interesting to hear his comments as the game slipped away. They must have had some say over what went in the final product (or he ripped the microphone out), because I can't believe he didn't say anything interesting during the Mad Minute.

It would have just been a long minute of bleeping

I’m pretty sure he missed the mad minute.  After Tracs goal he started making his way down to the ground for the 3/4 time huddle.  He never would have imagined we would get another let alone 2.

Starwars meh, Godfather hmpfh, Anything by Kubrick yawn, Tarantino what again, Coppola seen it all, Dr Strangelove was ok, The Mission powerful, BUT nothing compares to watching the GF on repeat or the multitudes of glorious outtakes. It will get to the stage where l know,  off by heart, the colour of each player's football boots worn on the day, before I am bored of this vision.

Such an uplifting listen. It's always great to get this sort of insight, especially from someone like Goody coaching from the ground. 

Observations:

- I really liked Goody's "great to be alive" message at the start of Q3. Human. Brings the boys back down to the earth, where they had to inflict the damage - which they did. It's simple, but for me it really taps into the basics. Harnessing universal energy etc.

- How calm was Goody throughout all of that?!? Especially during Q3. I'd have lost my shirt by then. Probably why I'm not coach. 

- I was reminded of how close we were to a 4th consecutive goal in that last stretch. Bont only JUST got enough of Trac, otherwise that was another goal for sure. 

I was already pumped for tonight, now even more so (hard to believe).

I suspect WB supporters would want the same. 

I feel for them listening to part 3 and 4 and all they got was Goodwin and Dees except the 10 seconds when Beveridge threw in the towel.

They could be forgiven for wondering if their coach went missing in more ways than one.

Yeah, that was amazing. As we were getting beaten. "Smile boys, energy up!"

Coaching from the sidelines and that postive re-enforceme from Goody was amazing.

That first quarter smother by Kozzie was incredible.

Viney at those centre bounces at the end of the third was incredible.

Last quarter footage had me tearing up. Just beautiful watching the team on the sidelines once they knew they had it in the bag.

Can't wait to be at the G tonight

I coached from the boundary too and I found it really good at keeping your emotions in check and staying positive because you were a minute away from seeing your best players come off and could have a chat and look them in the eye. Which is the most important thing a coach can do while the game is live; impress upon your best players as the come for a rest. Yelling down the phone is just the worst.

Goodwin was just so impressive.  Incredible tranquility in the eye of the storm. Extraordinary. 

He certainly was impressive Ernie. And I think a lot of the credit for allowing Goodie to be his best has to go initially to Gary Pert and subsequently to Richo for the way they project managed the football department  in setting up the structures, together with the right personnel for the right spots, which freed Goodie to do what he does best. I don't think Pert and Richo have received, from outside of the Club, the due credit that they deserve.

Unbelievable how Beveridge coaches...."tell them to give me more uncontested marks"   How in the hell does he expect players to do that? Ask their opponents nicely to keep away? His whole mantra came across as ra, ra rather than tactical

But what really stood out for me was Goody's calmness and vision, knowing that the momentum would swing at some point

.  After Fritta's first goal in the 3rd he says something along the lines of " here we go fellas".  Or to TMac...."your chance will come".....Or "tell the forwards to give density in defence" when we needed to deny them.  And the plan between him and Burgess to give Gawn just a short stint back in the ruck, before releasing Jackson for those final minutes in the 3rd.

Perhaps the tactical discussions weren't shown? Can't imagine any coach wanting to give away much in that area. I mean, each video covers about a quarter of the time covered, and within that the coaches get a few snippets.

Pretty surprised with some on here getting a bit ahead of themselves with putting down Beveridge. Has as many flags as Goody.

And you jump in with the thought policing as usual.

Exactly, well said.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
