Skip to 2m10s of the below vid of Mahoneys interview on the melbourne site and it sums up why our team is so lost!

If that's what the footy department truly believe we have no hope of improvement, they still think all these things are 1 offs.......dead set WTF!

I think young Ben spends quite a bit of time researching Demonland. 
He certainly didn’t hold back on the Questions

Good Stuff

 

yeah seems to ask a few uneasy point considering he's on the "staff"

im genuinely uneasy with a large amount of the answers in this interview, it sounds like our entire footy department have ignored the 2018 prelim and all of 2019 as a "1 off" 

Still firmly believe a lot of our issues are from selecting too many inside mids in the team each week taking games off the specialist position players ruining the game style

Was refreshing to see him fire off a few in a row.

I'm doubling up

Yes he does. I worked with a lot of Journalists years ago, and this kid has got it. 
i hope he goes a long way

Coach is delusional, and the video above now confirms Mahoney is equally as ignorant.

Both need to go. Pronto.

I am just stunned at how bad the basic skills are whenever we are pressured. 
 

if ever we are to succeed we have to relish hard pressure and beat it

Why would you not just simply post this in the Post Match thread?

Anyway, interesting that Mahoney is speaking and not the coach or one of the players.

I think he sounds reasonable for the most part, but "you've gotta be careful sometimes to look at one game and throw everything out"... well, I don't think it's one game though, is it? The sample size is much larger than that. It's a pattern that's been replicated on and off since early in 2018. We are too easy to coach against. Okay, so we managed to slow our bombastic, play on at all costs ball movement down over a fortnight's period, but when sides prevent us from getting easy stoppages, we have no answer.

I get we don't want to be too reactionary and ultimately the rest of this year will prove whether or not Goodwin will remain, not the Port game just been, but I think we will look back on last night's performance and say it was the beginning of the end. We might even look back further than that as the beginning of the rot (yes, I know, SWYL, the prelim, the prelim). 

I also found it interesting that Ben was so direct with his questions around Goodwin's future. I liked that. There was a time at this club where the Melbourne media department was only a sugar coating propaganda machine. At least the elephant in the room was addressed, but of course what else was Mahoney going to say?

Finally, I also liked how Ben's questions seem to reflect how the fanbase is feeling after that one. As I said yesterday, I really like Ben and I like the tact that Melbourne Media are taking. I'm not going to watch you if you sit around skirting the issues, so you may as well confront the issues and make your case as to why the club is still on the right path.

Yes i have been very impressed with the Media Dept this year. 
they are far more “honest” than years gone by

I hope that The CEO is partly responsible for the change. 
The Fan base needs results. We have all been very patient 

The BS won’t cut it anymore

If I was part of the marketing department, I would definitely being advising a no BS approach. I'm sure that's what's been advised. I doubt Pert has too much say on that stuff, but maybe.

The Club has to get a Harder edge, we all know that. 
easiest way to do it is from within. 
But i agree, no more “we must be tired after 4 days”

Ben is asking if the Senior Coach is safe!!

 

”hi Ben.... nice work mate, keep it up ? “

Seriously our media Dept production is so much better under Pert give credit where credit is due - he has a media background and has come out of a media machine. He delivered facilities at Collingwood and I think he will do same for us / I don’t understand why people seem to not rate him?

I don't mind Pert and you're probably right about Pert, RE: the media machine he's come from.

Your last two posts have been interesting to me though. One canning Jackson as a CEO and another championing Pert. Is that you, Gary?

Excellent and hard hitting questions by Gibson (unless Mahoney wrote the questions himself).

Sounds like 5-5 is the bare minimum after our SA trip.

And well done to Ben for interviewing a fired up Steve May last night . Made for very good viewing and Fox footy showed snippets of it today.

I really couldn't believe what I was hearing - a "ONE OFF."

That is total bullSht. It's since the Prelim in 2018. Why do we let tolerate this crap. Sometime I wish we bought more microwaves...

Actually, it's years and years and years.

Stephen May was more honest.

Ben is fantastic and im especially liking his pre game videos. Perhaps the best recruit for the dees at this point in time. Chuck him at FF! Can't do any worse than tmac

No I wish Jackson was good for a period but I think he stayed too long and was a great  self promoter. I hate Collingwood but Pert gets bagged on here and I think he is a good CEO. Is that you PJ?

Pert called one of my family members in response to a polite but critical email his way after either the Geelong or Richmond loss.

He’s certainly engaged with the members, so credit to him in that department.

I was about to like this post. I was thinking, jeepers, Elegt's actually written something positive. And then you threw in the Tom McDonald barb. Ah well.

Nah but seriously, this kid has a good future ahead of him. Isn't afraid to ask the hard questions and interviewing technique is spot on.
