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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
