    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

At Hawthorn, Clarko coached from the box.  At Melbourne Goodwin from the boundary.

What change does that make to the roles/responsibilities for Assistant coaches?

Slightly off topic, but I’ve been thinking lately when I see coaches up in the box they look helpless whereas Goodwin on the boundary provides immediate feedback and support to the players.

Clearly it’s working, I’m just surprised more teams don’t use this model especially as it is what is used in the NFL.

Would love to know if his favourite moment from his career was the qualifying final win vs Carlton?

I still remember his goal kicked off the deck in the last quarter to but us in front.... or maybe that was up by 9.

Couldn't help myself but go watch it again after seeing your comment, What an amazing goal!

And for those of you playing at home, just hit the play button

Ooze is my all time favourite player.   Back in the days when you could watch the reserves before the seniors, I used to watch them every week.  In his first year, he hadn't done much first half of the season in the twos.  We went to Waverley to watch St Kilda and Yze played on Tim Pekin ( who played a lot of senior footy for Fitzroy and St Kilda) in midfield and absolutely destroyed him, had about 40 touches and was BOG by a mile.   The next day in the paper he wasnt listed in the bests and Pekin was named Saints best.  Was the strangest list of best players I've ever seen.  As fate would have it, Ooze was listed in the emergencies next game against Richmond and I think Clay Sampson pulled out of the team late so he got a gig.    That was the situation of his first game FWIW.

I'm going to ask him about that considering his current role has him in the box while Goody is on the bench. Perhaps what his preference would be should he have to fill in as head coach or if he ever gets his own gig.

The Sound the Alarm series is a great example of Goody providing that instant feedback and encouragement directly to the players.

How concerned is he about big momentum shifts that we seem to have with our midfield where we can dominate and then get dominated within the same game and sometimes also within the same quarter?

Good question. I have already written out quite a few but I think this warrants a go as it is definitely a concern of mine. So far it is unfounded as we always seem to wrestle control back and in the GF and Rd 01 were able to go on to comfortable wins.

My concern is for when we don't get it back but it seems the coaches and the team have the belief.

I have a question about how do you instill that belief in the playing group that they can reset and wrestle control back. I think I might need to merge the two as I'm sure his answer to your question is that they aren't concerned because the players have the belief that they can reset.

This is a good question. We all have our favourite Ooze moment but what is his favourite moment.

In the finals we absolutely smashed Lions, Cats, Dogs, but to start the season and during last season we had a lot of wins 20-30 points, almost holding the opposition rather than putting them away. 
Why the difference in approach?

Interesting question. Not sure how deep he will go into divulging any state secrets.

We have two of the best creative contested ball players in Trac and Clarry, the best ruck duo in the game in Gawn and Jackson plus a host of talented centre square mids eg Viney, Harmes, Sparrow.  Why / How do we lose so many centre clearances?  Is this down to the opposition researching what we do?  Or is this not a problem provided we can put enough pressure on the opposition as they're leaving the clearance.

I'd be interested in what he thinks are the key differences in playing forward now from when he played. What are today's non negotiables compared to those of twenty years ago.

Also 2000 saw the first full game of flooding when the Bulldogs dealt out Essendon's only loss for the year. Over the 2000/2001 was the flood and two way running a big thing in pre season training or were we slow to adopt.

thanks

I remember Daniher saying when he coached us that Yze and Farmer had a "licence" to break team rules (or something equivalent) - i.e. they could have shots from the boundary or 50m out as they had the skills to pull it off.

In today's footy, if you miss doing that (and even if you don't) the media will highlight you all week as a selfish player burning team mates up the field.  While I get this in terms of playing the percentages and building team culture, it means players will rarely have a shot when there are players in front of them and you often see players doing the "team thing" and kick to a contest when they are actually within range.  Shots from outside 50 on the run are also a good way of breaking down strong team defence / flood / zoning but we rarely see it from our team.

I wonder what Yze makes of this - does Melbourne currently give out "licences" to any players in this way?

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
