How many more years does he think he has in him?

    I feel like a lot of these questions are only safe to ask behind a screen. In real life he’d probably punch all of us in the face for even hinting at retirement or asking him why he had a bad game once…. 😂

    Would it be safe then for Andy to ask:

    'So, Steve you set very high standards for yourself. How tough then has it been to play so poorly this season? And a related question Steve, what is happening with your ground ball gets? Seems like once the ball hits the ground you are a liability'

    Also.. if you feel brave. He has super high standards of himself and others. It often looks on the screen, that he’s constantly getting ****ty with his other back men. what’s the balance he feels between encouragement and camraderie and getting [censored] off.

    second the call to know more about his indigenous background and his leadership within the football and social communities

    what would be his preferred 'defensive seven' set up at the dees in terms of personnel?

    how does he balance criticism and encouragement of his teammates?

    who is the most demonstrative of the back seven?

    We've noticed his issues with bending over, so keen to know if he feels his fitness is currently a 'work in progress'.

    Obviously don't expect him to say specifically, but definitely keen to know if it is something he is working through as the season progresses.

    I'd like to know why he had a brain fade & got sucked in by Buddy last year.

    He didn’t IMV, Buddy was just soft and flopped.

    Who are his closest mates at the club and what does he enjoy doing away from football?  He might open up on a good story or two

    Classic question, but I will go with it. Hardest opponent and why?

    With Collingwood looming as our greatest threat this year for another flag, how does he think our defensive system can nullify their fast ball movement and use of the corridor?

    Last year, the FD talked a lot about staying hungry and competitive, however, many noticed a drop off in that facet last year. What has helped the team return to their ultra-competitive mentality of 2021?

    And can he promise that we won't once again get pantsed by Cox and Mihocek?

    I'd love to know about his journey as a young fella, coming from Darwin & finishing school at Melbourne Grammer, before heading to the GC. That's a hell of a journey for a young man, how did he cope missing family and friends?

    Great to meet him at the family day too, my son was stoked get his signature on his number 1!

    I'd be interested in comments he has on Salem's importance to the team and specifically Salem's structural role in our backline, past and future.

    He was frankly quite cranky, Cranky Franky

    Ask him why oh why do we always kick out to the left.

    Or alternatively,  why haven’t we been doing so this season?

    Followed up with a question about him taking fewer kick outs.

    I've mentioned this before, but he was bound for Collingwood. His manager said just have a chat with Goody first before committing to them. He finished the phone call and told his manager to get him to Melbourne.  So the answer to your question is Simon Goodwin.

    I like to know which of our players under 21 excluding JVR he is most excited to see over the coming years and why.

    His take on Hawkins and Buddy, comparing them from his POV?

    Joke - Has his boxing improved?

    Yeah, I’m also curious in how long he sees himself playing for. His current contract expires at the end of 2025 (33 y/o), but I could easily see grumpy old man May playing a little longer than that. Hopefully that’s how he sees it too. I feel like it’s a question he’d be happy to answer honestly.

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
