Results of Club Reviews

Recommended Posts

Sadly, the news is again coming from leaks.  I would think only a small number of people would have access to the results and they shouldn't be leaking this stuff.

Anyway, here is an initial report from 'journalists' with another misleading title Goodwin urged to ‘lighten up’ amid major Demons leadership overhaul.

theage.com

Mods may want to move this to the Pert thread but as the report findings are to be released tomorrow a new thread might be appropriate as the findings will be broader than Pert's departure.

I will post a summary shortly as it may take some time to compile

A summary:

On Smith (old news)

“If elected I can hopefully help with stability of the club generally, with players, the board, sponsors. I am much more comfortable doing it now with [president] Brad [Green] there and then have an orderly transition.” 

 

On  Goodwin

Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin has been urged to lighten up in his dealings with players

A football department review to be released on Friday found the events of the past 12 months had weighed heavily on Goodwin, making him intense and stressed around players, according to two sources familiar with the findings who were not authorised to speak publicly.

The sources said Goodwin welcomed the recognition of the burden he had been carrying and agreed with the sentiment to try to ease his stress. The review reinforced that the players still held the 2021 premiership coach in high regard and wanted him to have the support needed to perform at his best.

On Richardson

The review recommends a tweaking of roles within the football department and a shift in the focus of high-performance manager Alan Richardson.

Former New Zealand All Blacks manager Darren Shand, who helped lead the review, will have a mentoring role in managing the way Richardson deals with the team, coach and the rest of the department.

 

The rest of the article is a repeat of the Pert article earlier today and discussed in the Pert thread.

The above are reports which may not align in accuracy or context with the acutual findings.

If they are accurate:

  • I'm very pleased Goodwin will get the support the players think he needs and he is open to receiving
  • I'm surprised that Richardson is getting a 'mentor' after so many years in the game.  But not surprised as I have said elsewhere he was a poor choice for GM of FD.

  • Lucifers Hero changed the title to Results of Club Reviews

Is this straight out of the Dan Andrews media management playbook?

Friday before a long weekend... CEO resign, Another unmentionable story drops... Dump the review findings...

Create [censored] storm soup... then head to the beach house until Wednesday... 

Bravo 👏

The above are reports that may not align.....so possibly true, half true or completely untrue..

But let's put them out there

Could you please name your source, whilst we are still on the first page on what will probably become a multi page topic based on?

Lighten up Goody! It’s only footy

Its an intense job and industry

Didn't Hardwick get the same feedback after the 2016 review? Another coach too from memory, Buckley after 2017 review? Both had good results.

Of course you need to be serious but not walk around like the weight of the world is on your shoulders, that breeds anxiety in the playing group which is a death knell in pro sports. Fun and enthusiasm take teams a long way.

Maybe they need to hire a clown to shadow him everywhere he goes and lighten the mood. 

Happy Joaquin Phoenix GIF

And he can give out balloon animals at each team meeting

    Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5 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.

    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. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    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. Date of Birth: 4 J

    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. Date of Birth: 16 April 2003 Height: 193cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 41 Goals MFC 2024: 30 Career Total: 58 Brownlow Medal Votes: 1

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
