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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
