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?

I’m actually interested in reading it but it’s behind a paywall. Can anyone paraphrase it?

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"

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
