I honestly cannot speak highly enough of what Maty Inness has brought to our football club since the moment he arrived. From day one, he has set the standards—non-negotiable, uncompromising, and aligned with what elite high performance truly looks like! He has genuinely taken our players to levels of high-intensity work we simply haven’t seen for well over half a decade. He challenges, demands, and pushes— yet earns buy - in because of the clarity, consistency, and belief he brings to every interaction. The respect he has gained across the entire club, from top to bottom, in such a short space of time speaks volumes about the impact he has already made. What excites me most is that this is only the beginning. The foundations Maty is laying right now will shape our football club for years to come. We may not fully recognise the magnitude of his influence immediately, but I have no doubt that in years ahead we’ll look back and circle the date on the calendar—the moment he arrived—as a defining turning point in our journey. I’m incredibly excited and genuinely grateful that we have such a high-quality operator driving our standards and our future ❤️🖤💪 #matinness #godons #bombers @essendonfc #afl
