Great to see Kynan selected. He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL.  Quick and evasive and reads the play well. He sets up play, has goal involvements and kicks a few himself.

IMO eventually his ability to read the play will see him excel as a mid. 

As a forward if the oppo take their eye off him they will pay.

His form this year surprised me. I thought a couple more preseasons would get him right for the big time but if you have what it takes then you get rewarded.

 

"He has been very good in his 1st season of VFL'. That is a massive stretch. He has shown minor glimpses at best.

    I hadn't seen the photo's until this morning, i understand where you were coming from now.

    They do look happy and relaxed, i will give you that.

    Whether their attitude gets translated on the field as will to win   Or 

    I really don’t care.   Or I am high as kite right now.

     
    i have no idea but  a relaxed trio at training, no tension, means they will not be thinking of outside detractors rather than ball, and kick the blooody goal. 

    I will watch with interest !

    GW and Robbo on AFL 360 also mentioned the massive fall out that would occur if we lose to North.

    But in reality, what's actually going to change? They're certainly not going to sack Goodwin and/or the assistant coaches if that's what the media are inferring in terms of "fall out"

    Ok so not enormous but not tiny. What are the early indications of his role @ VFL watchers

    Kynan is a bits and pieces player.  Maybe small but shows heart.  Nothing of note in his VFL games so unsure why he gets promoted.  Marketing?  Hope he has a good game.

    Please let’s see Sestan, Tholstrup and Fullarton.

    Surely Petty has to be omitted on form.

    Turner, Billings, Laurie don’t look up to it.

    Chandler, Sparrow, Oliver and Fritsch have unsatisfactory and should be dropped even just to make a statement but the cupboards bare so they’ll stay in.

     

    sooo he wouldn’t be ahead of others as a defence first? Seems like a strange call to me

    I presume you’re talking about Petty.

    Prior to this season I rated him in the best defenders going around. 
    On current form he doesn’t deserve to be in the side, IMO.

    Tomlinson, Brown, Tholstrup in

    I still want Woey in the side but can’t really complain about K Brown and Tholstrup getting chances over Laurie and Billings.

    I think this’ll be it. Won’t see Fullarton, AMW or Sestan until they start appearing in the emergencies first - club usually signals who’s next in line 

    Disco as the sub??

    This is actually it (see above).

    Fullarton an emergency.

    Petty named again at CHF? Worst player in the competition & Goodwin drops Tomlinson last week then bring him back again? Why?

    Tholstrup a most deserved elevation after his last match at Casey. Performance actually matches ‘some’ of the messianic hyperbole being spouted about, since his arrival by worshippers of a paranormal kolt.

    Goodwin’s explained Tomlinson - Collingwood had a small forward line so we decided to go smaller in our backline.

    It's not all about form. It's about knowing team structure and role, the rest takes care of itself.

    I wonder what players working hard at Casey think of Petty constantly getting games with zero output.

    Would imagine it’s a bit demoralising

    • 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.

      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?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
