    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
