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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
