    More like disinterested and, in my personal experience, look at them with contempt. This is the result of the travesty surrounding the Angus Brayshaw incident last year.

    The problem with the Corn is that whilst he used to be outlandish he is now pretty reasonable in most things that he says.

    He is not wrong that Goodwin is going to be under enormous pressure next year. 

    But the contract stuff is laughable, can't be blaming Melbourne that Collingwood players are thugs and a young man (one of the greatest demons ever) goes through a bad patch off field.

    Like so many so called journalists Cornes see the game through his 20/20 hindsight lens 

    It’s rather predictable and boring 🥱

    Quite a bit of discussion on the "Goodwin is the MAN" thread yesterday, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew.

    Thanks, Mr Stone.

    Being only a dead tree reader, I only saw it in this morning's branch. I presume if there was reaction to it yesterday, reactors were reacting to it in one o' them new-fangled digity-dogity things?

    He doesn't say anything new but nothing he says is wrong.

    Controversially he says that offering Brayshaw, a player only one concussion away from retirement, a six year contract was a mistake. He's not wrong.

    He also alludes to the club knowing about Oliver's issues but still offering him an eye watering contract.

    He says trading Grundy was a mistake. As was gifting them to Sydney.

    He says letting Jordon walk was a mistake.

    He says we risk doing a Tim Taranto-like mistake by giving up too much for Houston.

    Some here dare not admit it but nothing he said was wrong.

    He also said that Goodwin's coaching is predictable and boring, and that it'll cost us prime time spots and crowds next season.

    Again, not wrong.

    Said many times by demonlanders before - AFL media, former players desperate attempt to stay relevant. 

    Sadly they loose all credibility gained from great careers. 

    Regardless of Corners 300 odd games and premiership medal he will only be remembered for being an antagonist, gutter media person.

    I agree with a lot of it, but how was giving Brayshaw a long contract a mistake?  Genuinely would like to know.  Does he think we would be better off if he had a 2 year contract and got wiped out?  Or is he implying that we are picking up the bill to pay the entire contract out?

    I can't take notice of the AFL related media any more. Most, if not all MFC news I want, I get from either the website or here.  There is little real analysis done, they just state the obvious and colour it for the agenda or bias they already have. This week it will be that Sydney can win the flag,  after last week being no chance...It all gets so predictable.

    Hahaha I can literally hear David King in my head saying "Sydney's last 15 minutes is as good as anything we've seen this year. If they can play like that they'll be premiers"

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • 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?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
