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: 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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
