Jefferson will play (at times). At full forward.

Goodwin will coach from both box and boundary line.

Many things will be different, play-wise (though subtly so?)

Aaaand...

Some more fodder for the 'Nicknames' file!

 

 

It's been a great preseason on Demonland. So many great training reports and information to keep me engaged. This video makes me realise how much I just want the games to start. I'm getting sick of reading and hearing about what we are going to do. I just want to see it now.

A lot of standard Goodwin media responses in there. I really enjoyed the questions from Fritsch and Salem. Goodwins personality actually shone through.

Good to see Goody trying to engage with fans but pretty underwhelming to be honest. A few [censored] bits about the team were interesting but nothing really new. Would have liked something a bit longer around team structure, player development over the summer and possible positional changes etc (without giving away any secrets of course) and minus the fluff. Not interested in who is the best table tennis player or nicknames. Looking forward to seeing him open up honestly about team performance and progress during year on AFL 360 during his fortnightly segments and hoping the real Simon shines through.

He's always come off as extremely awkward in front of the camera.

Actually thought he seemed quite relaxed and answered the questions well. Just the overall content I found a bit lacking but hey, it’s a start. Glad he made the effort and look forward to hearing more from him on 360 during the year.

Is there a secret that I'm not aware of?

Is Petty still on our list?

Why are there no details on his whereabouts?

Did not play for Casey, did not play against Freo and not on the injured list.

What is going on?

XxxxxxxxEdit

Just explained as "personal reasons"

Ok

As the cheap “journalist” would say - very obvious he he’d out for Port Adelaide. 

I did enjoy the beaming look on his face as he began talking about Clayton Oliver.

I think a good idea for in-house videos like this would be to make it rapid-fire - 'ten words or fewer challenge'. It would structurally guide Goodwin or any other coach or player answering the questions to abandon their media training and just fire off their thoughts. In a safe and selectively editable context like a club video they can let loose a bit.

@ManDee, check out the Club website Thursday practice gallery.

One H.Petty looking very happily involved.

Damn! I was hoping his answers would save me a trip to a urologist! :(

I was going to ask if you were taking the... but then, clearly you would be avoiding such things at present.


Seriously though coaches just have to do this PR stuff. At times they're not in the mood or its time they'd rather spend elsewhere and they soooo don't wanna say the wrong thing. But the AFL and the fans want the 'fluff'. Thankfully sometimes they do say something interesting.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
