One of the journo's made a comment about Demon supporters being at the snow on Monday instead of the game

How childish and he should have been told to shut up by his peers

Supporter-speak I don't mind, but a professional journalist? 

And the media wonder why we have little respect for the way they go about their job

It's a serious press conference interrupted by a comment that is better suited to the schoolyard

100%.

Imagine if a journo said to Craig McRae ‘Public Holiday game on Monday. You’d expect a big crowd - but you’d get a big crowd every Monday considering 90% of your supporter base are unemployed’.

Great response from our leader he talks the talk and walks the walk. So respectful to the club and playing group he will use this incident to reaffirm the team first culture that took us to the top. Such a shame that we had to redirect the news hounds back to MND and The QB Match, what has Happened to our press seems to have been a real drop off in IQ???

Ha ha!

Just goes to show how people can start believing an obvious untruth (or a myth) ... folklore then somehow becomes the truth

Upon hearing what was said (about the snow) I felt the question was asked in a serious way too ... not to get a reaction.  Goodwin to his credit just ignored the question as if the journo had asked another type of question

So said journo has probably thought long and hard about the question as they all knew the Goodwin presser was being held today

But it is true that the filth fans are mostly unemployed and don't have any teeth, isn't it?

Goody smashed them. Just too good and too smart.

How lucky are we to have Goody and Gawny.

Exactly - besides, as any discerning Melbourne supporter will tell you: weekends and public holidays at the snow are for the unwashed masses. Real Melbourne supporters go during the week, when there’s less riff-raff and a much shorter queue at Kofflers.

I spent three days in hospital after our moggy bit me. Washed out only once but on a drip and had to have cosmetic surgery after.  Ungrateful thing. I was saving it from another moggy😿

Max and Goody putting on a media conference clinic this week, great performance from the coach in answering questions that had quite accusatorial insinuations which would have made me fire up if I had to face them. 

When you consider how Chopper Read, I mean Bevo, reacted earlier in the year and in all honesty how a host of other coaches have responded to controversial events in the media, it certainly makes me grateful for Goody's straight up and down style.

Agree, he nailed it! 

I reckon he was having to work pretty hard to prevent himself from laughing at some of the stupid questions!

It’s not a challenging ‘connect the dots’ - we won’t need a Jan 6 Commission for this  one. 

Of course, that’s about a former President…

An excellent presser from Goody.  Very balanced and unemotional, didn't shy away from issues of the week.

Thought he did a great job also….now for our footy to do the talking on Monday!

The vultures circled and tried to crack him. 
it didn’t work

.. and the other 10% in jail or on parole

 

But back to the nitty gritty - Goody handled that incredibly calmly and logically.  We are in good hands, I believe.  The big question is can the on field team mentally lift on Monday to give the Magpies a good old fashioned flogging?  It will be a true test of footy and of character - a season defining game.

AFL Integrity Unit can now reveal who 'really' put the bite on.

The whole thing has been a beat up by the media. Most of those journalists (at the press conference) can barely string a grammatically correct sentence together.

I will be very happy with a win even if it is 1 point.

Jurno’s digging for dirt - trying for another headline if Coach slips up 

I wouldnt give some of those questions an answer . snow ? aspen in our summer lols 

I can see he is feeling the pressure understandably-   pile on has commenced . 

Pert was at Collingwood so plenty of experience- hopefully steering the ship 

We are in decent shape really life ain't perfect . 

Chin up Goody the hs reading believer’s can have it .

I disagree mate - we will probably lose this week -  rest and build from the brissie game - 

Tmacs replacement is our biggest concern. 

Last few weeks has been lacking  . our season will be defined in 3-4 weeks time when May is back and we find some form up forward- will take another player like Weed to find form .
