Hit the nail on the head.

In an interview last week Staffford was talking about the Saints game and said there were things we wanted to work on in our game and coming up against a good side like St Kilda tested those and he referred to 'contest' and 'territory'. 

I suspect that experimenting happens quite regularly but is invisible to the observer.

Wouldn't be good if commentators could identify changes in tactics rather than describe what we can see and waffle on about trivia and irrelevancies.  Of course, it won't happen.

Clarkson used to do this all the time when the Hawks were dominating,

He would get them to do 2 minute drills, one behind the ball, an extra at the stoppage etc.

That stuff doesn't happen by accident and its hard to train for. Having the luxury of doing it in games that you control is a Godsend.

Goody doesn't care about smashing teams by 100pts. What benefit do you get out of that? Aside from a little percentage, very little. 

He would rather teach the team various scenarios that will be needed at some point.

He also knows that the flag isn't won in May and its about getting there in the fittest possible state and at the top 2 on the ladder.

    It's been hopeless all season. hopeless against Gold Coast, Essendon, Hawthorn, Port and now WCE.  That's the majority of games. Against Port we should've won by 100, instead we lost the 2nd half. somehow 

    There’s lots of peanuts on here who think we’re not winning well this season. It’s absolutely ludicrous to think that let alone say it! We play about 20 minutes of footy every week and then constrict teams for the rest expending little energy. We’ll beat Freo and Brisbane easily and some here still won’t be happy. I’m pumped as I love winning.

    Demons winning well, not even close to a loss!

    Aim is top 2 no serious injuries, and a neutral luck finals campaign and we will be back 2 back premiers!!

    We are 9-0 and our percentage is the same as Essendon finished with in 2000. We are going ok.

    Indeed ... and we will presumably be 10-0 after playing Norf.

    Interesting times after that ... Demons yet to play Freo, Swans, Brisbane & Carlton.

    100% He was the master of situational coaching. They'd rehearse different scenarios over and over.

    Didn’t post for a while, but I actually got to go to the game in person. The guy I gave my barcode to, actually fulfilled his promise to pay for me to go to the game and stay over in WA. Really had a lovely time at Optus stadium and we got on really well and had a lovely weekend together. It was my first time at a game interstate (have only been to SCG and Canberra previously.) All this for simply giving my barcode away from the grand final. He promised if I did, he would. I didn’t really expect him to fulfil his promise, but he did. It shows there is some kindness left in humanity.  

     

    Thank you very much to (asked not to say his name in public) for a wonderful time 🤗

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
