I like it. 

It's us v them.

Great presser. He was pretty fired up. If you didn't know the result you'd think we lost the game.

'And the umps run the ball back to the Clarence Garden for the restart after Hogan snags his sixth.' A new nickname for the centre-circle. Choo-choo!

Basically this. Growing tired of these gutter-level media parasites more focused on the next trivial scandal than our footy. Get stuffed.

Lewis was similarly dismissive last week on 360 when Robbo made some utterly inane and moronic comments questioning our culture (like Robbo knows the first thing about it).

Jeez he was very forthright in addressing Jay Clark's question. Very much a 'i don't care what the external world thinks culture should look like, i will decide what my teams culture will be'. A big middle finger to all the keyboard warrior Journalists and even Bolton, in thinking that their perspective on what culture is, should be universal.

Goodwin has really grown into the role of being able to present well to the media. He was scratchy when he first started as coach during the JLT series in 2016, but he is now able to compose himself and be very direct.

 

"Look i'll sit down with Clayton, if that's what happened, i'll sit down, but clearly Clayton's not going to react to something.....unnecessarily. So let's wait and get all the information on the table eh? Before we start....criticising people"

 

Too [censored] right! I'm not one that has developed the confidence in his coaching ability to blindly follow Goodwin, but after his press conference performance today, that blindfold isn't looking too daunting. 

If it was nev and not Oliver that Carlton fan would be dragged out of the ground and no one would question the player, that said there is no such thing as bad culture or good culture at footy clubs its all buzz words there is only two types of cultures at football teams a winning one and a losing one, we are in the 8 Carlton are not, winning is good and losing is bad. They way the media is going at Oliver is a form of bullying.

Would not be surprised if Carlton had been acting under instructions from the AFL/Media to knock this mob (MFC) out of the Finals race.

This would be as punishment for them, MFC daring to act like the Phoenix. And it would be in line with the constant physical abuse/ niggle of the best kids/older players, as all bad sports follow these lines of attack.

To win this game was an imperative. We succeeded and the journey continues.......

It was a very good presser. He is very articulate and able to direct a very pointed message. 

 

Compare him to Bolton, I could only watch 4 minutes of his after match and it was filled with Ums and err after every 3 words. Then he tried to pull out some poor analogy that would probably be eaten up by the neanderthal blues supporter who was over the fence giving clarry a verbal. 

 

You can almost imagine how good the message is coming across to the players from that postmatch. 

 

Further he never looks flustered. No Scott brother antics, or smashing phones. Controlled, focused, considered and directed. 

We are in excellent hands with Goody, and what a leader for our boys to follow. Our future is looking fantastic, so excited for the MFC, enjoy the experience.

I wanted to break Bolton's Jaw during the game he's right along side the Scott brothers for arrogance and whinging. Cover your mouth up some more while your swearing you inbred krunt.

Going by the press conference, it's as if he said a big 'Fark you' to the media for all the flak we've copped in the media this week.

Behind closed doors I reckon he has written on the white board in capital letters 'Us vs the world'

Go get em Goody!

a conspiracy... mmmm tin foil hats.

My best bit was when they asked a questions along the lines of ... where you upset about the way the clubs culture was called into question last week.

He said he wasn't but he was actually filthy about it and then proceed to state that it was more that some people don't know what culture actually is. Referring to most journo's who have never kicked an aussie rules footy in anger

It was a deliciously veiled dig at the morally bankrupt hypocrites in the media, most of whom wouldn't understand culture nor integrity if it bit them on the ass.

Steely and direct "I am clear what it looks like......" , bet Jay wishes he hadn't asked that question.

He hit it over the fence for six.

I think that Simon's press conferences have all been excellent in that he has lucidly explained that:

• we are a developing team.
• often teams have injuries
• our group is learning to have trust in each other and their role in the group
• he will have a little chat to whoever and.... not throw the player to the wolves (Media)
• we have criteria by which we guage how we are progressing
• our idea of culture is formulated amongst our group ,not in the CH 7 /Newscorp running sheets.
• Well done to many unsung blokes

All in all he comes across as a manager of people. Well done.

great stuff from Lewis. taking the pi$$ out of the media and the 'experts'.  and his words about Jetta are awesome too!

"I don’t want to pump up his tyres too much, but I reckon he’s the most underrated backline player in the competition – he’s extraordinary"

Liked his interview also. It was a smart choice by the club to have Lewis address the media knowing he understands culture better than most and can hit their headline seeking questions for 6

When Bolton's talking I keep looking for Ron Blaskett behind him.

Gold!

I only had to look this morning at that photo of Goody and Kent in the Age, to realize again, how good Goody is, with being nice to people.A very expressive photo it is as well......

Gee whiz, that tin foil hat of yours must get hot in summer.

What next - AFL covers up Roswell landing? SEN responsible for JFK murder?

Northey knew how to galvanise a group

Hope we can go one better

Fair enough, but my comments are not particularly directed to us, but if someone out there reads them, it might jog the "little gray matters" enough. In regard to the second para......yes, they would and probably partially.........

On the contrary.  I think it was a Dorothy Dixer.

Goodwin wanted the question.  He wanted to address the question of culture and he expressed his views with such clarity and force it was like a prepared statement to the footy world.  He wanted to show the footy world that he is in it with his players but that he is their leader and he sets the standards.

He's outstanding with his clarity of communication.  From the outside he appears to be an outstanding coach and the players appear to love him.  A great get by Jackson, Mahoney and Roos.
