  1. Gus trained without a helmet and Gawny was posting pics yesterday with Goody at the Sorrento Pub. It's pretty clear what the players think about Goody.
  2. In one of the millions of clips and podcasts I've seen / listened to since the GF i can't remember which one apparently Oliver, Petracca and Viney met in the centre while we had asserted dominance and they discussed whether to just slow the tempo but Truck said F-it let's bury them and the others agreed.
  3. Apparently Goody coaches from the bench to measure momentum and is good at it. He goes to Yze and the rest of the coaches box for tactical changes depending on how he reads it. Eg. If the opposition get a run on but he thinks it was a few lucky bounces he doesn't count that as momentum. But if the opposition get on top of us and he doesn't think it was a bit of luck he wants changes. It wouldn't surprise me if we went with a more high risk reward structure after kicking a goal to build momentum.
  4. I heard Goodwin say in a podcast that Gawn sometimes deliberately taps it to Viney's opponent and Viney smashes them. I don't think our aim is to win every single centre clearance when we win the hit out. The more we mix it up the less predictable we are. It's no good having the best tap ruckman in the league if the opposition know where he is going to tap it.
  5. I really rate Chandler and know the club do too but Clarry is just corralling him their.
  6. In my pre-season bets I will be taking alot of Adelaide to make top 8 and Bowey to win the rising star multiples
  7. Trading while insolvent is a a criminal offence where directors face fines or jail and to my knowledge none of the directors of any clubs listed have ever been charged with that. I wouldn't read too much into it.
  8. There won't be any 'go home factor' if McGowan keeps WA locked up for the next few years.
  9. I've thought that in previous pics of Oliver as well, think I even posted I might be dislexic because 13 is looking alot like 31. If JVR plays like he looks like he will Jason Taylor needs to be formally recognised as the best in the business.
  10. Fantastic reads @Deespicable Flower is a popular number 1 but I hope Gawn, Oliver or Petracca are number 1 of the last 60 years.
  11. Sheedy is a spiteful bloke. It's no coincidence he missed out on our coaching job then threw the kitchen sink at Scully and all you eat pies at his old man
  12. Oliver and Petracca contributed to Viney's rise and became better players themselves because of it. They no longer all go for the same ball. See ball get ball was damaging for us when we had too many doing it. Since Yze came we seem to operate much more methodically.
  13. Clark Keating like. I wouldn't even bother playing him until the finals this year then let him rip.
  14. Hopefully Viney can join them next year.
  15. Two of my favourite Melbourne players ever but we had a habit with number 1 draft picks.
  16. Hunt played all 22 games for the team that finished top of the ladder before getting injured. Would start in any other side round 1 and maybe even ours.
  17. Fascinating reading. Surely number 1 comes down to 4 of them: Flower - the only reason half the people over 40 still barrack for Melbourne Gawn - Only premiership captain and stood up like a premiership captain at every chance Oliver - Our B&F in a drought breaking premiership year, coaches association award in a premiership year and most selfless player that changed the team dynamic Trac - Norm Smith medalist. One of the greatest games of a Melbourne player in the last 50 years on the day that counts. Great work @Deespicable look forward to the last 20. Agree with the above post can you do it in reverse order so we count down to 1
  18. Either that or he gets more clicks for over rating Collingwood.
  19. I reckon it would have been used pretty commonly. As a kid I had a footy card that called him Garry 'dollars' Lyon.
  20. I know from personal experience when you do hear something reliable you can't post on Demonland anyway because you would be betraying the trust of the person who told you. The two exceptions are if it is from Judd's grandmother or there is a riddle.
