Preparation… ?!?!?!!!?!

Simon Goodwin will coach the Dees versus the GWS Giants on Saturday night despite spending the past three nights in hospital.

Goodwin copped an infection at the start of the week that required an intermittent IV drip.

He was part of team meetings via Zoom during the week and discharged on Saturday morning.

Can't question the bloke's commitment.

    No, not dead, he won't get fined by the police, but the AFL Commish own the game and they set the rules, of which the players have agreed to and signed off on

    Sounds like a gag order to me 

    I hope we can do so much better in Australia 

    TMac is still in tracksuit top talking to staff on the sidelines during the warmup?

    Yep .

    Not a fan of number 20 either         ( Nichols).

    Yeah, nah.

    Not 20

    Definitely not 22.

    Or 35, or 14,

    Not overly fond of 25 or 19 either 

    There must be one that’s okay?

    Maybe? 
    Can anyone think of one?

    Ivo Crapp was a much better umpire than his surname would suggest.

    Lady at the gate said they’re expecting 23,000. I think they overestimated by 20,000.

    I'd say so, almost feel like I have to ask someone for a key to get in.

    Embarrassing turnout. It’s not even raining. 
    Really poor. Don’t complain when we get 4.40 Sunday games all year.

    Ridiculous huh. They’ve made him delete the comments. Truth hurts, clearly. 

    Absolutely. 
    He should’ve stuck to his guns. 
    There is more than enough evidence to support his claim.

    I understand keeping a lid on the umpire criticism, but The Corporation should not be immune from criticism.
    They are not the CCP.

    The giants song is pretty catchy

    Makes me think of a Disney / Pixar animated movie about big-footed little people. Maybe like in Frozen - those rock people. 

    GWS song is a bop. I’ll hear nothing bad about it.

    Apparently Angus from Cat Empire wrote it. Quality.

    It really is a pitiful crowd. I reckon North might have got more down in Hobart today.

    Very much so, one of the more robust tunes.

    Gee just read goody was in hospital for 3 days. Gee that's no good.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
