‘Objective data???’ as a person in IT  - the use of the above data was wholly to back up a preconceived argument or notion to pin blame on a singular individual. 

It’s the furtherest thing from ‘objective’ use of data.

I was commenting from the perspective that objective data is interpreted through what is ‘seen’ , as opposed to subjective which is ‘said’. Unfortunately it’s hard to convey sarcasm over a forum.

    Pretty sure clubs do internal reviews every year, so that would just be more of the same if that is the path Roffey follows.  Interesting graphic below of the Pies performance leading up to their external review. Maybe they waited too long to do it.  The cultural issue at the Pies were masked over by the flag in 2010, but appear to have peaked in the years after.  Cultural issues make high performance unsustainable (re Pies 2010, re West Coast 2006 etc).  Our only hope to not slide into irrelevancy is to have a thorough and independent review, and if we have absolutely zero issues it would still be money well spent.

    And what happens if the fish rots from the very head? We won't get meaningful cultural change until the closed shop at the top is dismantled.

    We have a bunch of fly in Melbourne supporters seemingly more interested in their own careers than the interests of the football club.

    Josh Mahoney for Pert for mine, and Todd Viney for Richo. Thank you very much.

    So you would be happy to see a once in a generational list dismantled due to internal issues that the club has poorly managed, this list has delivered and could deliver more for the 1st time in 60yrs …just keep on accepting it!

    Head in sand stuff with Wayne. Always has been, always will be.

    You'd have Raygun dish up the same performance in the next Olympics and he'd still tell you it's a 10/10 performance. 

    So he is not allowed a different opinion. Standard for Demonland

    Always the same negative posters ready to jump

    I would listen to David Schwarz, especially after the way he lost all his hard earned, there is a sensible person to Lister to

    The days of clickbait from pundits and journalists is alive and well.

    Your answers are usually 1 word or a Facepalm Saty. 
    The Ox is well aware of his past and also a very passionate Demon. I would listen to what The Ox has to say very carefully….

    I’m happy for you to shut the door on your way out. Don’t try and spin this…..

     

    Fickle supporters who walk out on the club  because you don’t get your way are a dime a dozen…. 
     

    don’t forget to shut the door. 😂😳🤩

    I don't think we're that bad in this regard.  We were playing with the most under 22 players most of the year and they're lacking in both experience and strength.  Generally our wins in the second half of the year are because we were "too tough" and that included our tackling.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
