    no need to discuss, you arent getting apologies from anyone who has slagged him off at all, which is pretty typical.

     

    But what a courageous decision to have petty and jvr ruck.

     

    thought they did well and Petty got better as the game went on.

     

    Go Dees!

    Hardly a genius but had the boys prepared for wet weather footy and the selection wasn’t all that difficult especially once the conditions were confirmed. Fullarton is at best a dry day forward/ruck. Even with Petty struggling he wasn’t going to play.

    Tag Merrett, tag Martin as much as possible, play contest footy with a nice dose of pace on the ball when needed and not getting overly reliant on long bombs.

    So underrated.

    It looked to me like Scott started the game with his very tall forwards going up the ground to draw May and Lever with them, and destroy our defensive structure. And it worked. But Goody somehow turned it around, got our structure back on track, and we kept them to about 3 goals for the next 2 1/2 quarters, until the incredible effort told on our players.

     He covered the loss of Max by alternating relatively unknown "ruckmen" against Draper, and adjusting our centre square setup, so we held our own in clearances.

     And as happens so often,  there players, who obviously love him, produced an extraordinary effort and showed the opposition up.

    A totally underrated coach.

    Thanks for putting the work in, Paul…

     

    Umm, he is doing great with the roles that the kids have been given. Rivers and Pickett are more expansive and they have levelled up, even McVee to an extent. But AMW, Kolt, Turner, Windsor, and JVR are just nailing the specific roles they have been given and it makes things smooth; less mistakes, less easy possessions for the oppo, better looks forward, and the whole team has been forced to trust them but they are up to it.

    At this point in this crazy year, I don’t know if we can make the finals - but if I can see this for 3 or 4 of the next 6 weeks this will not be a wasted year. Far from it. The last month has been really promising.

    Genius - getting our kids so primed and disciplined. We are playing a web across ground, it strangled the Dons and our rebound keeps getting better. 
    Keep this up and Goody may have us as a genuine late charger this year…

    we’re playing passionate aggressive footy that’s flowing beautifully at times. 
     

    GENIOUS!

    The ruck position  is obsolete unless you have a ruck the calibre of Max Gawn (or perhaps Luke Jackson if he ever rucked solo permanently with a Darcy-less world)

    The issue with Goodwins plan is the added injury risk to an already fragile Petty, as well as removing JVR out of the fwd 50 for extended periods

    I thought our ball-up and boundary throw-in gameplan was intentionally different and brilliant. It looked to me that we did NOT spread quickly from these scenarios, but kept it tight moving it forward in the Richmond chaos style. And this might be because the Bummers are genuine pretenders and get flogged by teams who are strong in the contest and thrive in the battle. The work of Viney, Oliver, ANB and the much-maligned Sparrow was central to this.

    Also, it was like 2021, when we almost allowed teams to bring it through the wings only to stifle it at half back, turn it over and spread on the counter attack. May and MacDonald were pillars tonight.

    Great gameplan and coaching.

    Lol what?

    I suppose he couldn't have got any worse than Q1 when he was essentially dragged, but didn't exactly do any more once he was caused us to lose JVR from fwd 50 and didn't cause McKay any trouble (other than the late holding the ball)

    I wasn’t there and couldn’t watch it online. I wonder about the influence of Melksham on our forward line. I reckon he’ll be a very good coach one day. Maybe even is one already?

    I think the McQualter influence re Tigers style. Thought the same.

    Is this Goody’s burner account by chance? 😏

    We didn't hold our own in clearances, we spanked them. Otherwise, I agree mate.

    This is absolutely the issue with it. You are asking for trouble playing an injury prone petty in the ruck, and I agree regarding the cost of taking jvr away from what we would hope would be further development time in his natural forward position.

    He's a genius until we lose, following which he'll be a stubborn coach who is wasting a list.

    And so the Demonland cycle continues.

    Something clicked tonight after a disturbing start.

    But we simple cannot afford to sacrifice JVR's continuing development as a key forward to be dissipated by him having to take first ruck duties.  We are down a key forward as a result.

    Unless FullArton, Verrall or 😮 even Schache stand up and demand selection JVR risks injury and form decline as a vital tall forward, which would be disastrous for our club going forward.  He is our future as a KPF, with limited Ruch duties, NOT as a first ruck.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
