Wins = Premierships

That is the Big Picture

Yes but they don't just happen because we say we want a winning culture, it happens because we play the right way as a team. Just wanting it won't make it happen

I have never said just want. I want them to DO IT. 

Not next year, i want them to do it over the next 10 weeks. 

Jobs are on the line.

We all want them to go out and just do it and win each week, but I've been talking about how we should be setting up to maximise the chance of wins in the long term. For instance should we be playing Jordy Lewis each game because he gives us a better chance of winning than say Lockhart/hore or do we give those guys a run and hope they become very important players for the future. We're not in a position to 'play the kids' because we're a young team anyway but looking at integrating personnel so they play better together for the future should hold a lot of weight.

 

Would like to hear what his thoughts are of our fitness conditioning coaches , have the injuries been managed correctly , players coming back too soon?  Our preseason disaster ...

good interview.  puts the acid on T Mac to stand up.  Tom is a proud man so hopefully he does something

I really like the reshuffle of the coaches and not waiting until the end of the year to make these changes.

Go Demons, give us something to cheer!

I'm sure he's had the acid put on him before this behind closed doors but it begs the question....

Why is Tom not at Casey?

Hinkley's sent Westoff back to the 2's and he's got a lot more credits than Tom.

Pyke had Jenkins in the SANFL for 5 weeks.

Is Goody too much of a players man? does he need to harden up? does Tom deserve his spot?

Who would you replace him with?

Surely, surely, not Preuss???

Goodwin really does talk a lot of club spin, it’s actually sickening, I’m still not convinced he is a good game day coach, but at least he says nice things. Pressure is on, and you can see that.

Play to win. Pick the best players in form. 

Building a winning culture will take care of the future. 

If Lewis is in form pick him

Just as well it wasn't up to me 'jumbo'...

I couldn't be happier to see Tommy turn his game around today.

In his own words made mistakes early but then things started working for him...

In my words he got to a lot more balls, was running more and working harder and it finally paid off.

Well done Tommy...well done Goody for putting the acid on him.

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
