  1. Sounds very interesting and relevant to us when a side gets a run on or a game is at the death. All that matters then is the next bounce, thhe next contest the next shepherd, kick or goal. i know this may be of no interest to others and certainly not saying I was a good footballer, but recently I remembered a game from my youth. I had been dropped for the first time ever and the following week I was selected at fullback after failing playing forward. A lively full forward kicked two on me in the opening minutes. Somehow I held him kickless for the remainder of the game and reading your post I now realise I just concentrated fully on my man and my positioning, holding and punching the ball every time the ball came down. its something used a lot in basketball as well. Massive concentration on the ball, rather than the player doing fancy moves.
  2. It mightbe horses for courses with Harmes play as run with according to opposition, overall tactics.
  3. He left Arsenal October 2018 according to his Linkdin, so gone by the time Goody went to England
  4. 12/11/2018 · Goodwin, 41, is in the final days of a three-week overseas trip which included visits to several English Premier League soccer clubs. It begins a huge year for the Melbourne coach who is expected to sign a lucrative contract extension before the 2019 season starts.
  5. Add Gawn to this list and raffle one of the other players would wrk as well. Jackson a smokey.
  6. No, lets be accurate. You said he gained degrees overseas. Now you say he studied in his own time and initiative. Again inaccurate, it was Club orgainised. I will give him credit when he improves his match day decision making and we consistently make the finals. Until then he is just another average coach getting paid very big dollars by community standards with a limited education.
  7. No degrees, just one or two, end of season two or three week weetie packet junkets.
  8. It will be difficult for him to change his match day, in the box processing of gmes. Goody a life time learner? I am not aware of any educational qualifications.
  9. I feel Goodys comment is not entirely correct or if it is Barlett is not doing his job. To say they spoke at length and Barlett only being supportive sounds odd. Surely Barlett has said, words to the effect. We need and expect results. You are now fully equipped with players and capable coaching staff, we support you, but its time for results.
  10. Interesting stuff DJ. And again shows for some keen fans it could be a very relaxing place to watch a training session or practice match with a few more touches of asthetics and community involvement. Suasage sizzle is pretty simple to either run or get someone like Rotary involved. Operators wouuld be lining up to do a coffee cart at even low numbers like one to two thousand.
  11. My Crystal Ball for 2021 Demons have 10,000 fans at Casey for training session before Final. Now that would put a different perspective on things, The Club needs to make the facility enticing for supporters so they spend several hours at when make the trip to Casey. A cafe or coffee cart, some memorabilia for kids, sausage sizzle and so on. It requires a different think as we likely wont get the supporters who just check training out for half an hour.. It needs to be an experience.
  12. I know a number of people who live in those sub divisions. One family lives within a 2 minute walk of a park with a basketball practice area, kids playground and BBQ. And another new school opening within a year. What you describe, although exaggerated and untrue is little different than the development of Eastern suburbs like Doncaster and Templestowe 50 years ago. More relevant to MFC is the area is full of young families and it is proven footy, AFL, provides a fantastic pathway to intergration and community. So lets make MFC a destination club for these kids through our on the plate facility at Casey.
  13. I think you need to go check out the Casey basketball stadium, Full of happy, fit kids and adults playing morning, noon and nights. Future slums? Just a slur on the people who live and work in the area. The old guard like you just reinforce why the MFC should change direction. Fortunately I think Casey will be a big part of MFC future.
  14. Great stuff, also Casey has the Basketball stadium. With a little vision you can imagine this area in 10 to 20 years.
  15. Eddie did a fantastic job for his Club, few mistakes, for sure, but hats off to him for being a football person.
  16. My memory was a combination of attitude and poor developmentt by the Club but he could certainly play.
  17. And I will add who Dave Williams. He could have been special without injury. Remember he played against Carlton one day. memory? I suspected the oldish star Blue he played on did not get him a lot of respect. One a three times Premiership player and another a no name player. Williams led and took him on a merry dance. Kicked a few but a lot of points and scoring shots later, he had likely earned some respect. Memory is hazty but think he was either left out or played out of position in a major game later on.
  18. I would add Fidge to the list. I remember he kicked a bag on Silvani in a reserves final early days.
  19. Dean really added some X factor to us at the time. He was a tough match up.
  20. Are you saying he should not have won Premierships so he could be better placed in 2020
  21. I think you are just trying to Break my balls. Of course Jordan lewis has more to offer than me regarding football.. He is a 4 times Premiership player. Why would you say you are still keen to see my psycology degree when I said I havent got one and this is an anonmymous site? Very odd. And whats your post being deleted hot to do with me?
  22. Dont agree, thought he commanded things in a few wins that helped make the finals. Not everyone has to go for the same ball, Melb midfield style.At Hawthorn when winning premierships some went for the ball, others did off ball work, some ran forward to space, some ran back to defend.
