I reckon this is brilliant. I love the fact we are kicking off the season. I know a Wednesday night is not ideal for some supporters to attend but having the GF replay kick off the season is a great way to start.
I am a fan of it as well.
don’t forget the 10 day break to play the Suns R2.
if we played a team who didn’t play finals R1, be a big chance we get rolled due to their longer pre-season.
positives all round. but do feel for the country members, kids, and anyone who can’t go because of work.

Some people just can’t be pleased.
the coach says the themes behind this song were a key driver behind a flag.
after all the sh$t goody’s has copped, now he is lying about why and how we won the flag???!
give it a spell.
There is nothing un-common or non-believable about this. A standard coaching tactic used all over the world.
A key part of a coaches job is to motivate their players :- with a wide variety of methods to choose from.
To suggest that Goody is lying about how he motivated the players is just about the most laughable thing I have ever heard from a Demons supporter.
The fact that he was going to say “this is us, here we are” in the speech is evidence enough for me, as to how important a theme he feels it was.
Bevo used themes from the Pearl Jam song man of the hour

Go on . . . Actually, on second thoughts, don't. What was intended as a jokey lend of the concept of a bunch of footy-heads sitting around listening to musicals has somehow morphed into me smashing a scared cow with a baseball bat.
Please everyone stop quoting me. I'm sorry I deeply upset some of you with my post. This place use to be way funnier when the MFC was a hot mess at risk of folding. But as penance I will now adopt the song as my personal affirmation.
I've highlighted the lyrics below which have particular resonance in my journey to be a better version of me.
I am not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one'll love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades and
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh
This is me
And I know that I deserve your love
(Oh-oh-oh-oh) There's nothing I'm not worthy of
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown 'em out
Oh

The idea of playing that Greatest Showman 'This is Me' song for a bunch of young male footballers as a seasonal-theme, by what is essentially a young male coach - including on grand final day - and it having any impact on their motivation to perform is so far-fetched and ridiculous to me that I can only imagine this is some sort of grand post-flag [censored]-take cooked up by Goodwin and the players and delivered with admirable Academy-worthy straight-faces.
Like, seriously? On each side of that scenario, my estimation of Goody either plummets or sky-rockets. It's not about the subject, just the notion that such cheesy lyrics and music could possibly inspire and be promoted by the demographic. Let's not forget the five years of preparation to get to this current point and the off-season buy-in from the players. I doubt the song is related at all, and I'm sure would have been met with mega eye-rolls from a millennial generation.
What a ridiculous post on multiple levels.

The tangential progression of every thread drives me nuts.
It should stay on the straight and narrow, just like Taiwan's stranglehold on microchip manufacturing.

I cannot believe that some on here are saying it was a great call.
It was atrocious. Imagine our international viewers listening to the garbage served up. Embarrassing.
And Olivers goal first.
Frittas launch and recovery second.
Trac third.
You appear to get easily triggered from differing opinions
Maybe a need for more time in your Queensland tropics and less Internet

Interesting you say that, I have posted elsewhere that kozzie did 3 defensive actions leading to Spargos first goal , brayshaws goal and this goal. In the helter skelter of the 3rd quarter and google ads , I didnt pickup kossies actions live . Only when I watched the replays did I pick it up.
I listened to footyolgy podacast with rohan and finey , last night . It was recorded live after the game. Finey made the observation ( and others did to ) that kozzie had a bad game because he had 4 kicks only . I say kossies 2 efforts in the 3rd quarter led to 2 vital goals when the pressure was on . Every goal after the first 2 goals in last quarter was icing on the cake . The rubber band had broken , dees were pumped and doggies were gone mentally.
In fairness it is always challenging to see and value defensive efforts when watching on tv.
But, anyone who says kozzie had a poor game, doesn’t understand his role or value to the team.
Kozzy, well and truly did his job, despite what the stats sheet says

I know, I know, it’s like having to pick your favourite child. But if you had to choose one goal, which would it be?
For mine, 3rd quarter, Tom Sparrow’s huge kick from barely off a step. And his pumped-up celebration afterwards.
Oliver’s.
was the moment in the game, when I realised we would win.
Bang.

The last phase of the Norm Smith curse, is rather than getting a summer to discuss and enjoy the drought breaking flag, the celebrations are partly diluted by Covid, and anti-vax’ers.
In more positive news, after our back-to-back flag, the curse will be completely done, and it will be a full summer of pure demons celebrations!

Just had a dream last night that the entire AFL moved to WA and SA from round 18 2022 due to COVID on the
COVIDEastern sea boardWe made the GF which was transferred to Adelaide Oval.
Happy Friday everyone.
Did some aliens steal us and drop us off at the AO?
not sure I could handle missing 2 in a row.

I didn't say he single handedly turned it around, I said "....had such an influence in turning a GF completely on its head in a matter of minutes.", and he did have an influence, a big one, in that turnaround.
I am going to run with a “monster influence”
don’t kick 3 goals in 45 seconds without a ruckman who isn’t doing a few things right.

Always liked him but my respect now is huge. Very funny man. Would love to have a drink with him and listen to his stories. When he retires he could really drop some dirt on many AFL directives he has had to endure.
Given he doesn’t mind a bit of attention, could be an explosive post career book.
Diary entry Sat 24th July 2021:-
We got another email from Gil this morning. This time, it simply stated “”tonight dogs to beat Dees. Just get it done””

Not sure if sarcastic…
Goody and Taylor love good kicks. Those two players are questionable in that aspect
Apologies......I thought you were referring to goody loving tough players who can’t kick (may have previously thought this myself)

Bad kicks? Don’t think so
Bro, we won the flag. It's a new era. There is no need to take cheap shots at our master coach anymore.
Plus half the guys we thought couldn't kick, now can.

Actually I thought Petracca was kicking it to Brown probably. 4 goals in 47secs would have been REALLY something.
Guess we will have to settle with 3 in 47 seconds.
would love to see a top 10 “one minute of finals footy” to know how it compares to anything else.

I'm furious still about the soft frees Liberatore and McRae got in the middle. Viney gave two away that were nowhere near frees.
It has been eating me up why Trac didn’t have the ability, effort and tenacity to break free of the Bont tackle and kick a goal from 65m out, with 5 seconds to go in the third quarter.
should keep him hungry to come back bigger, better and stronger next year! :) :)

Obviously don’t want to put too much pressure on the young fella. But for mine, the day he starts as a 95kg, 198cm, rover, who also takes some hit-outs, will be when he is at the peak of his powers.

The Cup arrived this Morning
“After 57 years of Pain”
Probably a silly question, but was some JD drunk out of the cup?

I can't believe the middle name is Oliver. Big Max is living and breeding a culture. Congratulations to he and his wife.
Can you imagine the convo with Jess
jess “Max I need to know you are not naming our child after Clayton”
Max “ oh, yeah, gee I hadn’t even thought of that. Just really like the name Oliver. It’s a top 10 name these days, so I am not alone”
jess “ok, fair enough. Just as long as you promise me”
Max conference call to the boys “boys, I got it approved. Junior Clarry her we come!”

Wind it up BT.
I remember a game half way through the year, when he was being typically negative Melb :- the other commentator asked, “what will it take for you to believe in the Dees Brian”
he replied, “I won’t believe in them until Max is holding up a cup”
well, time to admit you were wrong and have a long holiday Brian!

That worries me.
When we win the flag next year it will always have an asterix given only 16 teams played.
Plus we don’t want to restrict games at our new home away from home - Optus Stadium

Thank you both for elaborating on your points, I couldn't see Petty working at all forward so thats why I was seeking more from you. Definitely got nothing to stress about, (other than whatever injuries we cop in 2022) :)
He has played some vfl forward, and a handful of his early AFL games were as a forward.
showed promise. Natural leading patterns, and could take a mark :- even though he was pretty skinny back then.

Is Melbourne's midfield one of the best of all time?
in Melbourne Demons

Out of that list, I would go with eagles for now.
but give it a few more years, at least 1 more flag, and Jackson a star of the comp, then it will be a more interesting comparison!
