...that there's not already half a dozen pages in response to the Cornes *cough* analysis of our apparent cliff fall in this mornings Fair?'Facts' press.

Don't tell me we're finally cured of the media?!

    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"

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
