No mention of King being the best presenting coach he’s ever seen in 40 years? 🙄😂

Guerra has been in the role for a week, and in that time we appointed a coach with 0 leaks, and he’s told the negative buffoons in the media to put a sock in it.

10 stars for the first week in the role for mine.

100% agree! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

    Pretty much all our CEO's of the last 40 years present well & speak well but apart from Jackson most were pretty disappointing.

    I wish Mr Guerra all the best but he will be judged on results & outcomes.

    Pert and Schwab loved the sound of their own voice.

    Jackson leaves behind impossibly big shoes to fill, but I like that already Guerra has cut down on the leaks. That was something Jackson managed to control early on as well.

    Schwab and Pert were footy industry people but Guerra has come in from the real world. I get the feeling that he doesn’t stand for any nonsense or boys’ club BS.

    Yep and like Jackson has real world experience of leading businesses. Yes Jackson had lots of footy experience, but he also had experience outside of football.

    I was presently surprised. I had only known him from 5 second sound bites on the news when he's be complaining about work from home or penalty rates. He handled the interview very well

    That is an impressive interview. Caro pressed the Nathan Buckley button 3 times and he answered her directly, openly, but leaving no doubt that the Board and Coaching panel are united and aligned and we "got our man".

    Loved the fact that he said King presented with "presence and with joy". He came with his own view on our best 25 players, with a view that our gameplan needs to modernize, and is both keeping some assistant coaches while also bringing in his own people.

    As good as this interview was, I am more interested in the decisions he makes re a new training base, sponsorship and membership.

    Very impressive leader. Loved how he shot the legs out from under Caro re her (obviously wrong) view of the treatment of Goody. Take that Caro!

    Interestingly, in an early episode of OTC Buckley said (paraphrasing) 'the game plan isn't that important'. Shock, Horror on my part. That comment made we wonder what Buckley thought is important for a new coach to implement.

    Based on your comment I would say King nailed that part of the mfc's wish list. Buckley didn't!

    Was driving around on Saturday taxi service duty (picking up daughter from language school) and accidentally tuned in ... thought he did a pretty good job and liked how he said that Goodwin is one of only 4 MFC Premiership coaches and that whenever he comes back to visit the club the red carpet will always be rolled out for him. Take that Caro! 😁

    Richmond were a laughing stock until they appointed Brendan Gale and he turned their fortunes and built a dynasty.

    We all know no Peter Jackson no premiership and Jaded would still be Jaded.

    The CEO 's role at a footy club can't be underestimated.

    Bring on the Guerra Era

    Jeez mate Cam Schwab spoke well, so did John Anderson, Steve Harris, Ray Ellis & others & I met several of them.

    They have all had media training. It doesn't mean anything & is mostly waffle.

    Judge them on what they deliver not on what they tell you.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
