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.

And they're all yet to play us. 😊

Guys can anyone comfirm if training is tomorrow and if so i assume we are still doing Casey due to Gosch's development?

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 🤗

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.

    It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!
