If this interview is from weeks ago or even pre-season its not going to age well this week...

Having seen a couple of eps, it's more than just about coaching. It will be about his player career, growing up playing footy I'm guessing the 2 premierships as a player then going into coaching. 

It would have been recorded before the footy season 

 

 


Low points

1- “2019. The doubts as a coach. But out of darkness you find strength and mentors and learnings !! “

And 2… not discussed

So basically Open Mike

 

Petracca injury in 2024. The hurt 

 

what was the issue? 
 

Trac didn’t feel the love from the club 

 

We hope he feels the love now !! 
 

we were worried that he might seek a trade and had to lean into it … so we had honest and open conversations and had to show the love and every player can feel they can feel the best that can be 

On Clarry … 

“Thoughts were … do we need him to have a fresh start and considered that 

we got it wrong that we didn’t discuss with Clarry first … we looked at trade options for Clarry 

but now he feels happy and excited about the year ahead 

there were worries in pre season 2023 that he’d be playing footy going ahead “ 


How can 2025 be successful

“Curiousity 

Create fun 

Love and allow people to show their strength 

Love and healing and connection 

Put the pieces together to create 

Feeling intensity to succeed” 

“Players wanted to see the uplift in their coach and being happy “

constant dialogue around the players growing and reaching their potential. 

lots of words around the journey and learnings and being your best and love and openness etc etc etc 

basically all the phrases like you hear from a “life coaching consultant”

We not talking about Simon on 360 tonight?

we are. and not only was he repetitive and insubstantial , cliche and blindly confident, but he was also apparently unobservant of the questions asked to him.

imagine how the players feel in trying to parse his meaning (about anything for that matter), and he's meant to hold the collective vision. when one talks with such an expressive limitation and willful ignorance, good luck finding an intricate and dynamic game plan let alone execution to take on the best. 

if he's 'open' and 'accepting' 'and loving' that's only because he is like honey in a sieve.

p.s. i called for his deposement two years ago when he signd on for two more years and in the video the players were visaully and audibly underwhelmed. They just don't want to hurt his feelings at this point. And that's not a good enough reason for members

“Lost two finals in 2023 by goalkicking. 
Successful years !! (???)” 

my words … heartbreaking years!! 

yeh and that's him these days, comfortable with 'looking' good and 'sounding' good, not really 'being' good

It’s called miss management, [censored] drafting, refused to rest players in 22, failed to fix our fwd line since 21, played Oliver who didn’t  have a preseason, great culture building for others busting their butts at Casey! a club starved of success for 57 years couldn’t handle success,

Did he say anything about winning?

 

I fear the 'love' mantra is the club's 2025 buzzword that 'culture' was last year.

I'm already tired of hearing it.  Its being overplayed and pretty soon the 'love' talk will be ridiculed by fans and the media just as the 'culture' narrative was ridiculed last year.

Time for football to do the talking.

I get the feeling he just means 'appreciate' and Petracca didn't feel appreciated. Maybe it's just me but I'd have thought people want to be appreciated at work and by their loved ones. That said I don't want to hear the MFC (or in my personal life) going on and on about either love or appreciation, especially it feels hollow.

I agree with the Petracca reference but that is now ancient history.  Petracca has moved on. 

Goodwin seems to talk about 'love' in every interview regardless of the context. 

As they say in the classics:  talk is cheap!

Time to stop trying to convince everyone the club is a loving place. 

 

As John Lennon wrote - All you need is love

*and wins

So now we’ve installed, and are telling the world we have a culture based on love.

How about instead we stfu and instigate a culture of winning.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • 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.
