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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
