Lewis on AFL360

[SFebes 4,884]

Video should be up tomorrow but key takes:

Team doesn’t work hard enough

Only way to silence history is to perform

Harshest critics are within the club

Rich were 8-6 last year and flogged by STK, they changed and evolved.

Need to buy in defensively

In the review they’ve seen the damning footage that would’ve been shown on On The Couch.

Game review was brutal this week

Need to prove ourselves v Freo this week

Never seen Goodwin react like he did, was angry, frustrated and brutal.

Unfortunately on that show it’s all about Jack and Richmond, however what Jordan said was good to hear, a bit of tough love by the sound of it this week

Reassuring and awesome 

proof in puddimg

[hells bells 2,023]

Talk Talk Talk

Yawn Yawn Yawn

[beelzebub 23,388]

Good to hear....dems words

Await action

[Goffer 256]

Don’t care what was said tbh. No trust at all in this group, both coaching and players

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,084]

Heard it all before, the team was meant to be hurting from last year...... A hurting team would have buried Geelong, Port and the Saints.

[Dee1987 277]

Maybe the should bring in some die hard fans and let the club/team hear us out how we feel? We generally do the right thing as members now they should follow suite

[beelzebub 23,388]

hearing the echo of rnd 23 2017 ?

[chook fowler 19,675]

At least he said something about us this week. I have given up watching because he always talks about his Hawthorn mates and we come a poor second.

[Supermercado 2,802]

Sounds like he ticked off the talking points from the media department at 100% efficiency.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Poor bloke.  Nothing he said would be good enough for most, so I'm not surprised by the reaction.  But he got asked the question and he answered it honestly.  Can't ask much more than that.

[hemingway 7,633]

Like others, media talk is a big yawn.

Just talk only talk. Of course, Lewis has to say something and this is sending the right message to fans but I suspect most fans turned off long ago.

Actions speak louder than words and I am afraid we have heard it all before time and time again. Like a broken record.  We all hear the words and rock up to the next game to see that nothing has changed.

The only difference is that this time, Simon has been Un-Goodwin like and reacted angrily. Now it may be what we think should happen but it is not typical. So I think this is a positive thing as sometimes you need to react emotionally for players to get the message. 

Have we got the cattle on the park to heed the coaches message and turn it around?

We need every individual player to lift and for some magic to happen. 

Time will tell. The Dees season is at the crossroads. 

 

[Pates 9,661]

Sounds pretty standard although Goodwin being really angry does suggest the players should come out breathing fire this week. 

Mat the end of the day talk is cheap. His comment about Richmond is a good one. There’s still so much footy left in the season and it’s on the club to turn it around. 

[Ethan Tremblay 31,168]

Did he mention the 4 walls?

[jumbo returns 6,741]

I heard it too - hiding to nothing

Just watched the post game presser. Quite interesting. He plays a pretty straight does Goody but was obviously seething.

Made it crystal clear we simply did not work hard enough. Mentioned a couple of times that a change in defensive all team pressure will be evident. Said in a way that suggests some will get a huge rocket - and perhaps that occurred in the review.

I'm tipping at least one big name to be dropped this week.  I suspect Trac will be dropped.

He rolled out the party lines!! That’s ok, what else could he say publicly?  

The group and coaches have lost the trust of supporters, that’s it in a nutshell.

Supporters are powerless and have to live with whatever the players dish up.  That’s our lot and there is sweet FA we can do about it.

we are an under performing club onfield no matter who we have on our list. Shameful!

Thanks Feebs!

When the theory that Lewis and Vince cannot play in the same side was put to Jordan on 360 last week he played a fairly straight bat and then ended by saying something along the lines of 'this isn't the problem....there's other/bigger stuff going on....'.

I hope this is probed further and elaborated on by Jordan now following the weekend's performance, somehow I doubt this will be the case. 360 on Tuesdays is the Jack and Richmond show and what Jordan said was completely glossed over. So I'm awaiting the upload with interest

I don't get why people who think words are meaningless etc pay attention to the footy press during the week. I don't necessarily disagree but if you're just gonna say "actions not words" etc you may as well just shut off outside gameday other than to get injury reports

You can choose to join another club and let the MFC know via a written letter and cc the board

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,522]

A lot of people complaining about talk on a talk-show...

[Neil Crompton 5,729]

The condemnation of the team this past week reminds me of post round 23 last year. Back then we could do nothing about it. Luckily we have almost half a year to do something about it and redeem ourselves, if we are good enough. We shall see how hurt the players really are. 

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,522]

I think people might be overestimating the motivating powers of ‘pain’ and ‘hurt’.  

Look to Adelaide this season to see how a hurt club performs... then cast your mind back to Geelong, Hawthorn, Bulldogs and Tigers and recall that they they were motivated by positivity and unity in their successful years.

[SFebes 4,884]

I’m not sure what was more brutal, Goodwin or Demonlands response to Lewis ?

He didn’t back down and told it how it is at least.

Seemed laissez faire about the whole thing?

What did you think?
