Guys, can someone put up a link to Gary Perry’s interview with Huddo on SEN just now? V interesting, clearly the review was a deep dive and the onus is on the coaching panel to deliver next year. I find Perty is pretty good/honest in these interviews - worth a listen.

    I hate this response.

    EVERY clubs CEO gets interviewed at some stage.  It's inevitable.  Why we need the 'blah blah blah' and 'it's all talk' stuff is beyond me.  We know we need to perform on field, but this stuff is always going to happen regardless of whether we're first or last on the ladder.

    The next 1-2 Seasons are crucial for the MFC

    Our assets are mostly Ca$h so we have to keep building and investing. 
    A bad year in 2021 and those cash reserves will take a big hit

    We are a Football Club, we have to do well onfield, nothing else will cut it

    I am sure Pert knows this

    I think you know why it is not,

    You are not alone. While most of us are far from happy with the progress over the last two years you have to give the current group a go and hope for improvement. If you are so far down you say blah blah blah. Then find something else for your leisure time you will obviously be happier.

    I have never been a fan of the talk out of the MFC, maybe because all we have heard for many many seasons is just talk but in saying that I though Pert spoke well. It wasnt just political jargon. Making finals, playing more consistently and the coaches know exactly what is expected of them in season 21.

    You cannot expect anymore from the CEO before Preseason 

    The Standards have been set

    Now it is up to The Football Department to meet them

    What concerns me Sir is that the expectations were also set for this season and look how that panned out!!

    I do have a feeling though if its another failed season the coach will be gone but i would rather a sucessful season for a change.

    Let me try OD.  While I agree with DO's last sentence, when I look at how the seaosn panned out I am not that dismayed.  Sure, those last matches in the Cairns swamp were embarrasing and disappointing, but we were not that far off the mark if your expectations were just making the finals. Those who planned for a top 4 finish were probably always setting themselves up for disappointment IMO.

    The Coach will be gone midseason if we are not winning games. 
    like you, I would prefer him to succeed

    The talk is always going to be there every single year.

    With that in mind, what do you expect them to say?

    I know i have. But having Cash assets makes it far more poignant

    It was good that Pert joined the hub full-time when they went to Queensland. He sat in meetings, went to training etc etc.  Very valuable insight into how the off-field work translates (or doesn't) to on-field performance.

    Pert made some interesting comments (@11.00min) when asked about Goodwin.   He said there was a lot of support for him, he was very good 1:1 and a good teacher.

    He then talked of the need to win finals not how Geelong or Richmond do but by making the most of the strengths and attributes of the players we have.  Hudson asked him if this was not already happening.  Good question Huddo!   Pert didn't directly answer the question but talked about the coaching challenge and focus ahead.

    It is coaching 101 to have a game plan that suits the talents available not the other way round.  It was Roos' mantra from the start of his career.  Somewhere along the way, I feel Goodwin lost sight of that.  I and others on here have lamented that Goodwin has a game plan he wants to play but doesn't have the players for that style.  Having listened to the interview several times I thought Pert was saying the same thing.

    Pert has set Goodwin the challenge to focus on a game style this preseason, that brings out the best in the players we have and makes the most of their strengths and their attributes. 

    To me that focus appears to be the foundation of our current list management decisions (which is as it should be) and puts Mahoney's comments about using existing players for the wing role into a broader context.

    I hope that Goodwin rises to the occasion and look forward to what the game plan looks like.  And hopefully he settles it and the players into it, in the preseason so that we don't have the major changes during next season.   We all saw it this year:  'chaos' then 'control' then 'chaos' again then a mixture.  We aren't Geelong and we aren't Richmond so I really like the focus Pert is asking for.

    How refreshing it would be to have a consistent game plan, consistent team selections and consistent implementation with everyone on the same page.

    This is what a few of us have been saying all season. HOPEFULLY goody has got the message and we have a successful season in 21.

    I didnt mind what Pert said but previous management it was just spin when we had pathetic season after pathetic season. I dont know about u wise but it was very tiresome.It was like listening to political BS season after season.

    With us in that positon for so many seasons a more direct and honest approach would have been appreciated.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
