Good on him for being honest 

he was not equipped to deal with last year, not all his own fault 

But that is the job of Senior Coach

Yep, it can take time to learn and adapt to the ups and downs, as with any high pressure job. Look at Hardwick, and how long it took him to get a handle on it - with extremely positive results!

Absolutely. He was far too dismissive of our Preliminary Final exit in 2018, so i was not altogether suprised at how 2019 unfolded, there were many factors

But i do hope Simon’s attitude has toughened up  

You only ever as good as your last game...

Really good interview, I like Honesy Goodwin.

I donno, this preseason just feels different... I remain cautiously optimistic.

Yes it feels different

Burgess and his team have re energised the Football Dept.

I don't know about anyone else but the only thing that jarred a little with me was the fact that it was conducted by Damien Barrett. Not that there was anything wrong with his questions but considering the subject matter I think the girls from On The Mark on Fox for example could have mined a lot more from Goody's answers. Barrett's response to almost every reply was 'yep'. He should stick to what he's best at. Muckraking and innuendo.

Agree. Barretr’s “yep” answers show him to be a very shallow interviewer. No interest whatsoever in the answer or nuanced dialogue. It shows he is a shocking listener and is simply keen to get to the next question. All about him, I suspect.

Yes totally agree. His “yep” answers were almost dismissive and more like “Get on with it”

Damien thinks his questions are more important than the answers given. 

Wrong.

No one gives a toss about Barrett, his job is highly disposable

good to see i'm not the only one who thought barrett might be a good journo (muckraker?) but as an interviewer he leaves a lot to be desired

Sadly bad interviewing is not confined to sports journos.  Very often they just read through the list of questions they or a producer has already prepared.  It becomes blatanly obvious when the interviewee says 'the sky was blue' and the very next question is 'what colour was the sky?'.

Sorry??

being a little cryptic Engorged

(Such a great name btw)

Ah, maybe I was looking too deep - it’s who you omitted. No mention of Goodwin as part of the ‘change’, just Burgess and ‘his’ team. 
Which if I’ve inferred correctly - means none /or little of the change in team from your perspective comes from Goodwin, which feels unfair from my perspective.

No Mate. Goodwin is still there  His changes will be incremental 

Burgess has come in and taken the the team so far, to levels they have never been to before. 
somewhere we should have been long ago

I also wonder how much credit goes to Gary Pert...

Good listen, although the proof will be in the pudding. But Goody definitely sounds calm and relaxed.

Still hate the way he calls it 2-20.

You are also forgetting the input from the players, Goodwin and Burgess gave them a plan whilst they were on their break, they ALL bought in

If you also listen Goodwin states the players were 'confused with the meaages they were receiving in 2019, Goodwin has ensured during the pre season that EVERYBODY is on the same page

Pert has done what a CEO should do, keep his head out of the media, unless required  and make sure offield is ticking over

Missing the point as usual. 
 

Burgess has set the new standard at the club.

Yes, everybody has bought into it. That’s expected 

But Burgess is the one who has walked in with the changes. 
 

Last Summer and during the 2019 season the entire team was not fit enough in all areas, even though YOU told us all everything was ticking over nicely  
As i have said before you look, but you don’t see what is really going on

Who bought in Burgess?

Was it Pert?

Watched this expecting our coach to answer Purples question, only to be advised that to hear the answer I would need to subscribe to The Purple Headed Warriors podcast.  This is outlandish and once I have calmed down will be emailing the club to demand an explanation!!

I agree Mickey. (But I think the saying goes, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating".)

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
