Gary Pert on SEN 6/11/20

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.

Blah blah blah 

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 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

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.

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

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

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

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
