Selection Table

No issue with Goodwin running selection considering he's getting the keys to the joint next October.

I feel certain hat Roosy will be having chats with Goodwin on a daily basis about the methods.

Mark Jamar

Rohan Bail

Dean Terlich

Have to be the main suspects.

Matt Jones has been in the side recently while Riley & Gawn's back in so doubt it would have been either of them.

I dont reckon we need to turn this into a witch hunt. There's a number of players who could feel aggrieved and I'd be surprised if it wasn't the same at most clubs.

It's the nature of the beast and with Goodwin coming on board in 2017 it makes sense the club is trying to build the list to give us the best chance at success under his stewardship. Roos' job is to sort the wheat from the chaff, develop the culture and set the standards and structures to lay the foundation for Goodwin to build on. Some players like Terlich won't he getting much of a run, others like Jamar might be pushed aside for new talent to develop. It happens even in successful sides like Hawthorn (see Brad Sewell for instance).

Hi All - have sat on this for 6 weeks now but though with the Stretch arguments on the other page that I should bring this up. A fringe Demon player was having a [censored] to me about selection. That Goodwin is the main man in selection and he is more focused on buiding his list. He felt that the younger players were given more focus than the older ones and that he felt that he wasn't in Goodwin's plans which was a reasons behind his lack of selection.

Has anyone else heard this from their sources? Just want to confirm if it is true or not or him being a little disgruntaled. Thanks.

So, how long have you and Jordie been mingling?

It's a ruthless business all great coaches have been ruthless with their lists. Norm Smith, Barassi the list goes on. We need to be ruthless if we are to have a future. We cannot give players games who are not going to advance the club
