Seeing the tactical and personnel changes the coaches made before and during the game, do you think we will see this tactical flexibility continue throughout the season? Or will we revert to being predictable when Max returns from injury?
 

I imagine the coaches will see what and who works during the first half of the year, and then rotate through those options depending on the opponent and in-game situations later in the season.

    With West Coast licking their wounds after an injury riddled derby, is it too early to look at resting players for the big trip over West, like Brown & Viney, who we know have recurring injuries. Getting runs on the board early is important but last year showed that list management needs to be a priority or we won’t even be there on the final day of the Test.

    Given the West Coast have been smashed by injuries, would the panel make any specific changes to play on this, or take best available rewarding performance?

    i think it is a question of philosophy, are we looking at the bigger picture and rotating players, or looking for a win week by week?  Goodys language on this is not clear….

    At the start of season 2023, the AFL had the Dees with the 7th oldest list in the competition. 

    Against the Swans our under 24 brigade stepped up emphatically and impacted the game in our favour. 

    Petty, Pickett, Spargo, Rivers, van Rooyen, Chandler, McVee, Jordon, Sparrow and Bowey just to name a few are all under the age of 24. 

    Does the panel think that our list has the capacity to emulate the Cats and maintain a sustained period of success?

    It was Lever that had the biggest go at  Gus pointing his finger in his face.

    Watching at home, the TV replay showed Gus doing a lot of finger pointing trying to offload Buddy and not a lot of action to stop him. The bake was warranted.

    I’m interested in where we think Viney is at? He’s limited in where he can play and it seems like we’ve adjusted to a more dynamic approach to our side. I fully acknowledge he is built for finals and he’d be in the first couple selected if/when it comes, just interested in how everyone thinks he should be used to get him ripe for finals.

    Is Petty playing forward a permainent thing? I liked it he is mobile and can take a great grab. Does that leave space in the team for a T-Mac or a Tommo?

    Just finished listening to the Podcast. Excellent discussion. Glad you mentioned Petty in the Fwd Line. Some on here are calling for him to be dropped.
    Laughable 

    His Stats weren’t huge but he allowed Van Rooyen space to weave his magic, and was also important once Benny went off with his bad back. 
    Not everyone has to Blitz the stat sheet 

    We kicked 21 goals as a functional Fwd line with 12 Goalkickers

    Petty did his bit, as did others

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
