I don't judge De Goey but whatever allegations that have been made against him whilst overseas, but I do question his judgment in going overseas in the first place. The timing of those trips screams of lack of professionalism, as it seems that football is a means to his lifestyle. 

Personally, I think the "No DH Policy", is a load of rubbish. Martin Pike was seen as the ultimate DH when at Melbourne, and ended up a 4-time premiership player. Roos admitted that we had the chance to get Toby Greene, but he was seen as a DH. As long as players abide by whatever the club require of them, I couldn't care less what they're like off the field. Although I might draw the line if they love Rap music. (A reference to all the TISM fans).

    I never said anything about getting De Goey, I was just saying that with their rotten culture they have won 8 in a row and so maybe it's not culture that wins games.

    You might not give a rats about a team winning 8 in a row, but I bet their supporters do.

    PS: I am certainly not defending De Goey and I wouldn't want him with us.

    Yep you can have a “Bad” Culture and still win Silverware. 
    Carlton did it for decades

    Fair enough.  I do place a huge value on culture, as clubs are member driven not for profit organisations, and I do think they have a significant role to play in society.  I'm proud of the culture developed at Melbourne, I certainly wouldn't want to have a loose cannon jeopardise it.

    he has all the talent to be as good as petracca and absolutely none of the application required to do so

    i'm fully expecting him to go to the puddy tatts as a free agent because that is how they maintain their position at the top of the ladder for the last decade; lose champions to retirement and bring in mid-aged good-to-great talented players to replace them, augmented by picking the eyes out of the drafts

    can't really see him going to the cats. their culture is quite strong and doubt they'd want the risk

    besides.....he's too young...lol

    You can .... like your Carlton example from 40 years ago where success was largely determined by your zone and how much you were able to play your players. It was also a period where the quality of individuals was far more important than the cohesion of a team. 

    As for the last 25 years, you could probably only really point to the 2006 West Coast team, who won a flag (although it could be argued that they vastly underperformed based on their talent - Cox, Judd, Cousins, Kerr etc - and it being a soft period in the competition between Brisbane and Geelong/Hawthorn teams).

    Not sure how Kate Roffey would feel if she knew her footy club was interested in a bloke that has had sexual assault history.. 

    He's a genuine pig of a human. Lets leave it to the dwarf lighters (St Kilda) for this one.

    What about the Rat Pack Pies in 2010?

    There are also plenty of examples of bad eggs in good cultures who became premiership players. (De Goey would also be a premiership player but for a Dom Sheed kick from the boundary.)

    That said, I agree with the sentiment that culture is important and I raised De Goey as a topic without having a firm view on the pros/cons.

    It's certainly a good one to raise 'Fat' because talent alone he's easily a top 10 player in the game.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Degoey's name is raised when our list management and Goody do sit down for their annual catch up.

    But when weighing everything I think he's just far too toxic for the culture we're trying to build.

    Good pick up. 

    Interesting though that that Collingwood team really only a 3 year window (2010 -2012) to win a flag before they kind of imploded. Really interesting was their list profile when they won the flag: 

    • 0 players 30+ years old,
    • 1x 29yo (B Johnson),
    • 2x 28yo (Jolly, L Brown),
    • 2x 27yo (Maxwell, Didak),
    • 2x 26yo (Ball, Swan),
    • 0x 25yo,
    • 1x 24yo (H Shaw)
    • 5x 23yo
    • 4x 22yo
    • 2x 21yo
    • 2x 20yo
    • 1x 19yo 

    By 2013, only Leigh Brown had retired. They effectively fell out of their premiership window with a list that probably got better, with Pendlebury, Thomas, Beams, Sidebottom and Wellingham moving into their early primes, adding Grundy, and Swan still being top 3 in the Brownlow.

    They squandered a dynasty through their terrible culture.

    And West Coast had a window of 2 years (2005-2006) despite their extraordinary midfield. They went out in straight sets in 2007 and imploded to second last in 2008 .... 2 years after winning a flag with a 28 year old Cousins, 27 year old Fletcher and Wirrpanda, 25 year old Cox, Glass and Embley, and 23 year Judd and Kerr. 

    Incredible.

    You are right that they could have been a dynasty with that list profile but the Pies did come up against a great side in 2011 and led by 16 points in the Grand Final. (The 2011 Cats sit on the frontier of premiership sides since 2000 along with the 2000 Bombers, 2007 Cats and 2021 Demons according to the squiggle. https://live.squiggle.com.au/2000.html)  The exit of Malthouse was another factor in the failure to capitalise on a great list.

    Your analysis also shows that dynasties are hard to come by. Sometimes you have to take risks with bad eggs and trust your culture. The Hawks added Brian Lake and won 3 flags.

    A mate who is a huge Collingwood supporter puts this failure squarely at the feet of Nathan Buckley. As you point out Axis of Bob, they had a great young list that never reached heights it should have, particularly 2012-15. 
    My mate is getting great satisfaction watching them play now under McRae . He also thinks De Goey should go and Foxtrot Oscar

    Agree. Culture can also mean everybody on the same page. West Coast were truly toxic, but they were a dam good pressure side on The field. How much was due to stimulants we will never know 

    I am not saying we should get De Goey, but it should be a consideration with our on going forward structure. 
    The Filth want him out, so they have to accept a contract situation they do not like for both De Goey and Grundy

    Luckily Buckley came in and fixed their culture. From a flag winning young team in a window to years without finals 😂

    Jaidyn Stephenson has been a raging success at Norf - the betting on a games you're playing in thing should've been a red flag. Presume he'd have failed the MFC's "No Jaidyn's" policy in any event...

    Problem with DHs is you're in a hiding to nothing - if they fail, it was obvious to anyone they were going to fail...

    Interesting conversation. 

    Our sustained success will be at the feet of Petracca, Oliver, Lever, Viney, Langdon and whatever stars firms with them past Gawn, May, and the two big boys up forward.

    Tyson Stengle has been a raging success despite far more serious transgressions. People can change under the right guidance, though I'm not sure that De Goey wants to change.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.
