You've made this comment on a couple of occasions I think.  I'd be interested in your insights.

Told BB this - I have been very close to starting a thread a few times since the GWS game, but will get around to it while I have a couple long weekends. Goodwin inherited a good situation and is new to this but I have a few concerns around his tactics and persona. Probably small potatoes considering where we were pre-Roos but that should be irrelevant now.

Look forward to this, I also have a few concerns with his game-day movements and pre-match selections.

Time for thar thread possibly @rpfc

We're critiquing everyone and everything else, time for ' him'

And fair's fair. Goodwin is not above or aside from such discussion.

Sorry but that's just wrong, Watts is consistently in our top 2-3 players every game for distance covered.

Yes, running would be the ‘one’ that he consistently does

Yeah, runs as far away from the contest as possible 

[DeeZone 10,130]

We are just not good enough or Quick enough to hit him up, he makes space week after week, he is a finisher not a starter..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you're saying Watts doesn't kick the ball well? Rriiiiiight...

This is Demonland.  It's bias first, facts a distant second.

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

He kicks the ball better than most

No good for us if he’s only kicking it six times a game tho

I still maintain that Lynch is everything we want him to be, and he’s nowhere near as effective a player - doesn’t work nearly as hard and I don’t think he ever will

If he’s part of a trade to make us better, all to the good - he’s absolutely best 22 for us, and I imagine would be for the majority of afl clubs, so he has some value in trade...just not as much as he should

"JACK Watts could be on the move, but only if club and player are satisfied with the potential destination and compensation."

from this article https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-media-watch-collingwood-out-of-jake-stringer-race-carlton-eyes-duo-harley-balic-requests-trade/news-story/1a8020a3ad0e584a659249702d2feff0

What does Nial mean by that? What destination is acceptable for Jack vs not I wonder.

 

[whatwhat say what 22,948]

I would presume non-interstate, non-cellar dweller from his perspective, and a reasonable exchange for us, i.e. low first round / guaranteed best 22 player

Watts on 7news at 6:45 re his playing future apparently

Disgusting..lots of smiles and laughs from Jack, even re-enacted the QB goal with Titanic music FFS. What a weak and embarrassing club we are, how that even made the news makes me cringe.

Clubs interested, Collingwood one. He's a nice guy with all the skills and no heart. Said no when asked about a rift between he and Goodwin.

I'd say he's gone

I for the life of me don't understand what he was doing on the new just then. I'd like to hang about the club if I could? Me and Goody get along fine but I probably frustrate him at times. WTF. Will never put it all on the line. Get what you can and move on.

Agree, was very weird, even the titanic music FFS.

[Biffen 12,947]

i've been following this club long enough to know that we dress JW up in skimpy clothes and put him on the street corner every year,without fail.

Does anyone consider it possible that we are playing a game of poker here.

We need to know what the other  clubs want, and who they will off load.

After QB-he is a keeper .

[Damo 3,375]

Im torn. Should we get rid of Tyson who cant dispose of it or jack Watts who can cleanly deliver but only gets it in single figures.

Would both together get a 1st rounder?

[Little Richard 6,265]

The hunger just isn't there. It's time to part ways IMO.

Geez, are you in your 70s? It was just a fluff piece that he probably agreed to after someone from channel 7, his mgr and the MFC media arranged. The clear intent was just for him to address the trade rumours, and they probably asked him to reenact his goal. 

The people on this forum... Ffs. So dramatic.

It was weak as [censored] - fluff & MFC go together

And apart from looking like a [censored], wtf does it achieve? We lost to the same opposition in round 23, which cost us a place in the finals. How [censored]'n stupid is he to agree to it?

The difference is that Adelaide play through Lynch
