On the inconsistency week to week:

Internally they are setting Melbourne up for a sustained period of success and believes its going well.

Relying on the younger players to perform too much on game day, thinks fatigue is an issue.

On Hogan:

Comparing him to Josh Kennedy on the type of player he will end up being (big on chasing and forward pressure)

Very driven to be the best he can be, good understanding of the game. "He has some frustrations he needs to temper, not always going to get it on a silver platter as a forward"

When asked what he would be most worried about if he had to play on him he said his ability to always be moving, his agility and his quickness off the mark, thinks he needs to work on his leading patterns.

Tom McDonald feeling confident going into the season after spending the pre season defending against him

On Lumumba's year:

Thinks people judge him too much based on his possession count, happy with his contested game. Gives a lot of energy on field. Getting used to a new role on the wing. Thinks his best footy for Melbourne is ahead of him.

On Roos:

Game plan when he first came in was very similar to his Sydney game plan, game had evolved and Roos has made changes this year to reflect that.

About Harry, he said they had a bet with the Collingwood coaches about how many games he would play this year and they need to keep playing him to win it. But just in case, they laid it off with a bet of how many turnovers he will make. It's looking good on both counts and will fund the end of season trip.

This interview is a great example of why Jade has remained in the coaching department at Melbourne. Terrific breadth of knowledge about the game and impressed with his honesty and positiveness about players.

As quoted "highly desirable among the coaching ranks". I hope he sticks around. An asset IMO.

You would hope so, as I would hate to see it get worse

WTF does he mean by this? Are we running marathons during the week to help us achieve sustained success in the future?

It means we are being set up to win contested ball like the dogs have been. And then once that foundation is set.. The game plan will be more viable to attack, because we will be creating more pressure to make turnovers and kick higher scores..

Lumumba has a contested game? All I've seen is him trailing his opponent by 5 metres on every occasion, flailing his limbs about wildly. If he was anyone else he would have been at Casey for the past two months.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
