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

It wasn't the same yoga retreat Neeldy got kicked out of was it? ?

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 see what you did there ??

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.

There is a reason, even his friends call him "Purple"

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?'.

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

@Satyriconhome - how does it come to pass that folk are confused? Is it delivery? Is it the player? Is it generational? What’s your take?

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".)

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
