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

    off field we've been kicking goals for at least half a decade

    now if only the on field could reflect that

    I think you know why it is not,

    I will have faith until he proves otherwise.

    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?

    You've been saying that for years mate 

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

    Cash can walk very quickly

    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.

    Just listened to the full 18 minutes 

    Gary spoke really well and the Club knows what is expected  

    Our best is Top Shelf, we just don’t play that way for long enough, exactly the way i saw the year  All above the shoulders, and attitude

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
