    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"

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
