Reading this will see assistant coaches inc maybe Richardson as not sure what he’s role is & he wouldn’t be cheap either & inc Mahoney on thin ice. Goodwin will have the blow torch on him

    I may be wrong but it doesn’t appear that an external party is assisting with the review which makes me very sceptical about its value. We’ll see what eventuates but I expect to see some significant changes. I’ll be mightily disappointed if we get another whitewash like last year.

    Good to hear Pert is performing a thorough review. He needs to set the standards, do his job and make us successful off field to facilitate the on field

    I still can’t work out how we’re an unassisted club given our low membership numbers and a year of no crowds (unless we got a massive windfall from those 350 or so people that attended most of our ‘home’ games).

    He has also taken responsibility for conducting the coaching review, which means that all decisions will ultimately be on him. You'd think there will be pretty significant changes, as he'll want to get it right, not only for the club's sake, but for his own.

    So pleased he’s done a ‘deep dive’ rather than a thorough analysis.

    I read this email out loud to myself in Gary Pert's voice last night and then proceeded to talk like that for the rest of the night.

    We have the cash from the sale of the Leighoak club las year. After clearing debts we had approx $7m left over. Not sure how much we've had to dip into this to tide us over.

    Didn't we get promised an EXTERNAL review if we didn't make finals?

    Classic corporate waffle

    What else can you expect when the AFL is now a corporate business.   For those who follow footy in the off-season it is useless waffle as you say.  But it is perhaps of some use to those members who aren't following footy media etc -  it lets them know the club is doing something however ill-defined.  Probably be complaints of lack of member communication if nothing was sent.

    Pert is the right choice.  He understands football and the current club issues.

    But importantly By putting him front and centre gives him a major stake in accountability to now get results. A whitewash will be the worst outcome career-wise for Pert and he will understand this.

    Spare me the external consultants in the current situation.

    Just a hunch, but imo Pert has a 'hard edge'.  Exactly what our Club needs in this situation, and what most of us have been baying for.

    Ironically, without it being a the corporate business it is today, we'd have very little to talk about in the off season at all, and therefore nothing to complain about when we get corporate lip service from the club.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
