Those that cannot praise Pert for the part he played in us winning a flag are just embarrassing themselves Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with the change and he has made mistakes but he was here from 2018-2024 and played an important role in us being financially stable and winning a flag

Hopefully he has left us in a similar mess to how he left the Pies Lost a GF by a kick the year after he left Won a flag 5 years later

They are thinking about it :-)

All those whinging that Pert was running the review and that we are weak club in denial can take a break

So you love him but don’t think he has any tactical nous? and you think so little of the MFC that would we would hire someone with little potential to be a solid coach? And this based on channel 7 special comments? I respect him so i’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The established midfield coaches have really had our midfield humming the past 3 years

I would have thought after 300 games he’s earned enough respect for supporters to at least wait for the club to describe his position at the club. Rather than bagging his skills/kicking and insinuating he got the job due to him being an old boy and not because he’ll make a good coach

Never coached at AFL level before plenty to learn

I’m sure we’ll have a senior assistant to oversee him and Jonsey can learn his trade I thought there would be more love for a loyal past champ of the club

Markov helps win them a flag last year then delisted/rookied Nice way to reward him

These blokes reckon we should take Smilie at 5 (then Langford/Allen) At 9 Lindsay or Shanahan

Keep fighting Bailey People write off Nev Jetta too Small fwd or small def. find your spot and keep fighting

Who do we have under the age of 27-28 that is a good quality midfielder? That can extract the ball Arguably Rivers and…? It is a gaping hole and if we dont recruit two mids i’ll be staggered. The list will be in bits in 2-3 years Not saying we need two inside mids Ideally 1 inside/outside 1 power mid can go fwd

There is no advantage to having a sub versus a 5th interchange. If a player is injured, the difference between 4 and 5 on the bench is negligible. The advantage of having 5 on the bench is a young player doesn't lose fitness/continuity in his game and need to go to the VFL and train after a game at 11pm at night

He is known to go missing over Easter weekend though

After round 10, if we are 3-7 (which is a real possibility given the second half of 2024), it will be fascinating to see if the club still backs in Goody or if he is shown the door I would love to know what the clubs' expectations are of Goody and the team in 2025 I would say if we are 3-7 and there are still issues around player discontent (and not a dozen key injuries), that he is gone

Agreed it's not a bad list of mids But you needs stars in the midfield to win flags and in a few years we need to have blokes there to replace Trac and Clarry (assuming they are still there). Compare the Lions midfield strength and depth to the above and you'll see we are way behind

The Rookie (A) list should be dropped and just have a list of 42 blokes Pay them properly, they are part of the squad and some play AFL games

Lloyd has certainly talked him up at the right time As the best rated tall fwd he’ll probably go top 10 to a team that really need a young tall but I’d be staggered if JT rates him top 5

Pass mark is having a board approved plan and sticking to it. Including Maintaining unity and hunger in the group despite the many distractions. It’s obviously not as simple as ‘make finals’ as you can miss this on % Do we play kids or do Trac and Clarry and May come back in ripper nick ready to dominate?

Oooh the Tom Campbell Cup! Suck it North, we got our man!

A lot of Demons fans like to have the victim mentality that we always get screwed over when in reality half a dozen teams would have killed for our fixture last year

Sounds good to me!

We’ve been on the AFL’s favourites list the last few years with thurs fri sat night games I’m personally really looking forward to Sat and Sun day games at the G

Mr. Key Forward Membrey Clarry is taller but carry on
