I don’t think Brad is the Problem

This is football Department and Fitness

Brad joined the board in November 2020. He and the board have been asleep at the wheel.

The FD report directly to the board. The board is accountable.

    Of course they are. But we need to replenish the Stocks of the Football Department and high Performance Management

    I am sure they are well aware of that. It’s hard to fill assistant positions since COVID

    Blame the AFL for that mess

    He might be part of it SWYL but I hope at the least he is in deep conversation with Smith about when to pull the plug on Goody.

    WE NEED A PLAN GOING FORWARD so that next season we can move full steam ahead. (Yes another wasted season this yr though).

    Everybody needs to take some responsibility, i am not excusing anybody

    But our problems are on field

    Adam is just salty that Peter Lawrence is not on the Board

    No, I blame the board.

    They installed Pert (a disaster) instead of those PJ put forward, and then allowed messy legal battles to play out over Goody's head for at least 12-18 months.

    And every club in the land has the same constraints vis a vis COVID, that's not a reasonable excuse. We got unlucky with Burgess wanting to move home. I think had we had him across 2022-2023 we'd have at least another flag, but the personnel inside the FD have clearly let standards plummet and continue to do so.

    Green needs to make decisions now, the club is losing everything they worked so hard to get, through the Roos/Jackson era.

    They are playing local football standard in the AFL

    They were all walking around with their hands on hips & heads down, HALFWAY THROUGH THE FIRST BLO#*Y QUARTER

    Goodwin & Griffiths are to blame for this & if Clarry Trac & Kozzie want out then [censored] THEM OFF, they’ve treated us like trash for over 12 months

    I’ve gone in to bat for Clarry for 2 years, but I’m over what he’s done to the club & Trac still carrying on like a spoilt brat

    Bet they’re still holding out their hand for the massive pay checks

    I’ve spoken to plenty of us Dees supporters that won’t go again until Goodwin goes

    I know you blame the Board. Your Candidate wasn’t elected.

    Losing Burgess was a HUGE loss that was out of anyone’s control, yes i believe it cost us a Flag… But you cannot blame the Board for that

    I am sure he is not the only one doing that Ox. The Club cannot afford to stand still. The damage only increases

    If he hasn't the stones to do what's required.... then he's as much the problem as anyone.

    He has a job to do right now. If he doesn’t, he should step aside. But we also need to find a replacement, putting in the wrong replacement would be catastrophic

    It can’t all happen in an hour

    You are correct.Brad unfortunely is totally ineffectual can't be him!

    Watch him barbecued as the sacrifice by board members who

    Escape scrutiny

    Money always talks. Another crucial reason we didn’t snag a 2nd Flag…

    And have the board say they were implicitly responsible? The board could have had PJ undertake the external review at the end of the last year. Instead they had Pert review himself.

    wasn't green the football director? the board member that understands football and independent of the footy dept.

    why didn't he see this train wreck coming?

    Maybe he did and is already working on it. I haven’t spoken to Brad directly for 18 months, but i don’t think he is solely responsible for this mess, as has been suggested earlier in this thread

    As I mentioned months ago, Brad’s a nice guy however he doesn’t have the cajones to make these decisions. He shouldn’t be in the position he finds himself in.

    and what exactly do you want him to do right now Kent?

    Goodwin is done, personally i wish he had been replaced after the ‘23 Season, but that wasn’t to be

    Who replaces him?

    They’ve got to be a serious Coach to get this list firing

    Quick reactions often backfire

    We need Top Shelf

    I am hoping the same process is taking place with the CEO

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
