Mmmm, the only club with cultural issues. Uh huh. Let's think back to WCE during the mid 00's, or individuals of the Hawthorn, Geelong and even Tigers teams. during the 00's and 10's.

There is a serious, serious issue with linking  nonperforming teams and having that code for 'cultural issues'. But it is the court of public perception and people don't mind drinking that kool aid...

It's low hanging fruit.

 I also get that people don't see it my way.

    Read Ch7 Interview with brody grundy about his MFC experienece and our culture. 

    Dropped online today .  Couldn't be more different, in a posiitve way, than the media white noise from those on the outside - as opposed by someone from the inside with no agenda to push, like clicks.

    Swans ( incl them having JJ) are now my second team for this season.

     

    I did ready & correct, but to give up on this from both Goodwin was way too early, was the risk vs reward thought through?? It falls at the feet of the goody & the coaches

    Coached the most games in the history of the AFL (718). I’d say that gives him some credibility. 

    He'd certainly have a sense of what culture is.

    Of course he wouldn't know the full inside depth of our club but his opinion is based on a number of exposed factors that everyone else has judged us on.

    Culture is measured by Wins and Losses, but you cannot deny anything that Malthouse has stated. It’s not nice reading, but we shouldn’t dismiss it either 

    I was very concerned after Pert made the Comments on Radio about our culture being Rock Solid, you cannot say things like that with so much Media scrutiny from many platforms these days. But he did it…

    Can never understand why people get their knickers in a knot when outside people the club comment on Melbourne after all that's what this forum does.

    Because they're precious bunch lol.. Our form will attract the criticism it deserves. 

    Only way to silence them is by winning the games we should be winning.

    Yes, Goody hung his hat on that earlier in the season. Kinda like putting it all on the line

    And we sit 11th. 

    Somethings not right, Dazzle.

    I welcome an opinion, but I hope the West Australian didn’t pay too much for that article. It literally has no new information, and even not much of a unique opinion. It’s just a retelling of events.

    I wish my job was that easy.

    Gee ...we don't like it when faced with the truth...    so tempted to cite A Few Good Men.

    Take away the author's identity i challenge the naysayers to actually debate the article.  So easy to lazily call names and mock disdain. 

    For mine he pretty well nails it.  The truth can be and often is ugly. Actually I thought he held back somewhat.

    So again...point by point ... engage...

    Or just sit there.... and throw barbs simply because the truth annoys.

    He's not just a bitter and twisted old fart; he's the grand master of crankiness, with a PhD in grumbling and a black belt in complaining. Oh, and thanks for the Mark Neeld tip you *&^%.

    Point by point? Why? We read it all in February, and January, and December.. nothing new there. Easy to write it now and say the warning signs were there, but he tipped us for 5th preseason so where was Nostradamick then?

    Fine, he’s kicking us while we’re down, good luck to him but let’s not pretend he’s got any great insight here.

    Ok, do you really think that Steven may goes missing during games?

    And should the Pres and CEO comment on football matters mid season?

    He hasn't nailed anything. All he's done is taken the dots and come up with a story that fits. See below, the one in purple.

    Malthouse looks at what Pert said last year about our culture from the perspective of the media. I reckon at the time Pert was more concerned about backing our footy department publicly while assuring supporters, more specifically members, and sponsors.

    I rarely watch opposition pressers but used to almost religiously watch Carlton's when Malthouse was coaching them because he would pick fights with Journos pretty much every week.

    If you’re going to question my intelligence try not to misspell 2 out of your first 6 words but hey. 

    The connection, which was quite clear, is that you were accusing others of not addressing Malthouse’s points and instead mocking him, and when someone else made another quite clear point about Malthouse making up stories to fit the facts you chose to mock them rather than address the point. Simples when you think about it.

    Pert took a big Gamble talking to Garry, a Past Captain. I know why he did it, but it has backfired, potentially very badly. 
    Pert was hoping to sort it all out internally, but the Footy Department has not been able to perform to the level. 
    You must also remember that not all of the readers of Malthouse article know what is going on at MFC 

    It’s a Western Australian readership. 
     

    Garry was potted by many for not believing. He was concerned like many of us

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
