Get well soon Simon. SLEEP!!!

The perfect game for Adem to step in. Where he sits to control the team will be interesting. 
I doubt we will notice much different watching the game

Richo will be working with him

good luck Adem

    With all the depth on our coaching panel, it's going to be hard for Goodwin to break back in to the senior post.

    It's exactly like Hunt/Bowey late last year.

    Great opportunity for Yze.

    I would hate to lose him, but at the same time I would be bloody happy if he was able to snag a senior coaching gig in the next year or two.

    Bloke deserves it and is one of the best midfield coach and game day tactician going around in the AFL.

    Quiet! Don't let them hear you.

    Yze to coach from the box.  Hibbo to play for Casey.

    Let me get this right. A close contact of covid doesn't have to isolate anymore but if you have it you are put in detention. Why am I so sceptical about all this.

    Hmmm....very annoying. It goes to show that it is extremely contagious. He must have gotten it from either Jake Lever or Jack Viney perhaps?

    Nevertheless, we all need to expect to have COVID-19 at least once.

    Anyway, here is an article about it: https://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/33812040/melbourne-demons-coach-simon-goodwin-covid-19-miss-round-7

    Good luck to Adem Yze taking on the reigns as Melbourne Demons coach!

    Dont know.

    A close contact without symptoms doesnt have to isolate.  Just bringing us in line with NSW and from late tomorrow QLD.  I tried to check SA but their website defeated me.

    I should also mention that I wish Simon Goodwin a speedy recovery! 

    Having COVID-19 is very frustrating. I had it myself a few weeks ago and then my Parents got it as well. They have both now recuperated but it definitely took longer than expected.

    I still want to give Simon Goodwin a hug for helping end our 57 year Premiership drought but I will probably have to wait quite a while to be able to ever do that!  😂

    He's very relaxed and confident is Mr Yze. Going to be interesting to see how he goes after this season ie if he gets a head coaching gig he wants to take on, fingers crossed we get another year from him.

    You are only as good as the weakest link in the team.

    Not really concerned all that much at all.  The team behind the team look rock solid to me.

    Let’s see what secrets Yze has up his sleeve this week.

    Do you think Goody will come back through Casey for a few weeks.??    Just asking cause my Wife wants to know... I know the answer of course and I will be at Casey fields to watch.

    Is Yze the right man though ... when does someone start that thread?

    Quarter time when we are down by 1 point

    Good luck to Adem, he inspires great confidence, hope none of our players have got COVID from Goodwin and we go in with a near full team (only Salem out of best 22 atm with Viney and Lever back in). 

    How does not one reporter ask the sentimental question about how it feels to senior coach the club you played for, I think it’s pretty special, hasn’t happened many times for the MFC, last one was Barassi? No instead 15 questions about what Goodwin will do at home 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ 
     

    Go Oooooze smash those Hawks!!

    Very professional from the club.

    Boy they have changed from 7 years ago.

    Should be seamless with Richardson, Yze, Choco and the line coaches all doing their thing with Goodwin watching from home

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
