I’m sure the clubs have final say on what can and can’t be shown, and I’d be very surprised if the dogs coaches weren’t unbelievably critical of their midfield group at the end of the 3rd. They refused to structure correctly.

I get that. But not sure why they didn't show the box up to Bontepelli's goal in the third when they were19 points up.

What they did show of Beveridge was generally motivational stuff.

Whereas with Goodwin we got a bit of insight into tactics.  He used codes like 'contest line, ready'!  X line, ready (I didn't catch his words), its full defence time (or something like that).  I can guess what he meant but I can imagine that in the player's minds each translated to particular structures and roles.

Could have just been the editing but I was struck by the difference in coaching styles.

I’m told the Bulldogs didn’t give much and the Dees gave a lot except some tactical stuff.

Very enjoyable, so much to like. One of the best scenes for me was Goody early in the 4th telling T Mac on the bench he had one in him. T Mac on the siren just added another layer of special on the cake.

Ever since grand final night I've wanted to see Tommy's reaction on the siren, and after he knows the goal is goingthrough. For obvious reasons, we've never seen it (there may have been bigger things going on). We got both in that clip, and I was so rapt for him.

This makes sense. Why would it be so silent if not for the audio being withheld. Shame. Libba deserved a public spray for his refusal to sweep in the centre at the end of the third. If this were the NFL - he would have been roasted for the last 3 months. 

This was so great. I love how Goodwin never stopped encouraging the players. Telling them to smile. To enjoy it. Even when we were down by 19 he said we will get our chance. Internally I’m sure he was worried but he never projected that to the players. Absolutely fantastic vision. 

I also loved Tmac’s little fist pump on the siren. Still have no idea how he composed himself enough to kick it. I would have thrown it in the air and run.

TMac at the end is magnificent. 
The Bulldogs got off lightly, and that includes the Media. Not sure why?

Anyway I certainly hope we are too powerful for them again. If our Midfield fires, the ball shouldn’t be in defense much….

 

Still too much of JB and BT for my liking. Bang, Bang, Bang aside. 

I also reckon anyone putting any stock in the Mick Warner hit job on Goodwin should just look at the genuineness of his relationships with the players, evident both during the game, as the siren approached and after the siren.

I reckon out of respect/fairness to him and the Dogs they chose not to show what was going on in their box.

Just a focus on the winners and the positivity.

Although I agree with you, I'd loved to have beard Beveridge respond to what we were doing in the middle after the Fritsch x 2 and Brown goals.

Overall I loved the four videos because I am a sucker for this behind the scenes sort of stuff. I just want more!

Pity, I would have loved to see the meltdowns in amongst the carnage in the doggies box

Jesus..

Its ridiculous how extremely cool and calm Goody was even in the 3rd when we were 19 points down. He called it immediately after that Fritsch goa that we were back on when most of us were probably still a nervous wreck (I certainly was).

We're incredibly lucky to have Simon Goodwin leading this club. In matter of fact how lucky are the playing getting to play under his guidance..

Agree 100% Dazzle we and our team are indeed fortunate to have Simon Goodwin leading our club talk about cool under fire. I was so impressed by how smooth our bench worked together with Goody calling the shots and Shannon Byrnes work rate as well. Fabulous watch can’t get enough of this club and so much love shared between coach and players, no wonder we love them so much.!!

What a difference coaching from the bench rather from inside the box.  Feedback, praise and instructions were immediate.

That was a key strategy taken from the review at the end of 2020. It was put in place by the club that Yze would be in the box and Goody at ground level, and they would have very defined separate responsibilities so that Goody was able to be more player support and feedback focused and Yze more tactics and strategy focused.

We've talked about it a bit, but really that review and how Goody took it on board has been the making of both him and a premiership.

Harmes kick to Fritsch was all we needed (and He snuck it in). The ball is no longer in defence. Center Bounce 

The Guns took over…

Similar to the reviews undertaken at Geelong in 2006 and Richmond in 2016. Hopefully ours bears at least as much fruit as those two did.

Great videos. Gee Goody communicates well. I remember he used to get a bit of stick for his media performances, but he sounded calm, clear and logical. In contrast, Bevo seemed all over the shop. 

Remarkable. Goodwin knew all along we were going to win that game.

Only thing I was hoping for was Beverage’s reaction in the last minute of the third.


That was sensational viewing, Goody is incredible, so calm, positive and encouraging to everyone. We are in good hands, and our future looks awesome. 

Based on limited information shown it seems there were vast difference in coaching styles

Goodwin, tactical, well drilled, encouraging, reinforcing, calming and confident. Everything was about structures, discipline, energy and going back to what they had learned and what they knew had worked so well for them

Bevo seems much less so of that and more emotional, John Northey style, encouragement. Less about structures and more about 'throw the ball around', 'take some uncontested marks' type instructions.

Interesting too the complete confidence that Goodwin had in his team in the box to analyse and recommend tactical moves.

As one who wasn't a Goodwin fan early on it shows a remarkable trusting management style that appears gets the best out of all the assistants

 

 

TBH I didnt understand what Goody was talking about half the time but the players obviously do.  Also showed one of our weakness.

I also liked the shots of the crowd after our goals, especially those walking back from the bar.

 

A brilliant exposé. 
As others have said, MFC and all of us supporters are so blessed to have Goody at the helm, but at the helm of a well oiled team.

The H-S can sod off …. the players all seem to love him, and vice versa.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
