I see NO evidence that unequivocally supports Goodwin. I see scores that suggest he's dong OK. I see doings that suggest he''s pigheaded and an idiot !! that's my view of course. Neeld wasn't entirely wrong. What makes you think Goodwin at this early juncture is SO right ? Seriously ..i'm interested. Am sure others are Vocal player support Game style Games won Ladder position Percentage Player growth Roos' choice Emphasis on culture Stable support staff Selection consistent with his philosophy on football Innovation in terms of tactics Lack of voluntary player movement
picket fence 18,205 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Centre bounce, Sharked by Selwood, handpasses to Dangerfield, shrugs a tackle, baulks, sees Watts on the lead, kicks, Jack .... oh clever, gains possession 40 out .. sees Ablett but goes for home and slots it, that's his 4th goal and there's the half time siren.. what a player!! The Cats On fire!

Adam The God 30,766 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Sounds like Geelong are going to go further down the path of no return, in giving up all their picks for mature age players. They don't have any serious talent below the age of 25. The cliff will come for them.

IMO Better than the quicksand of HOPE we have to stand on!!

daisycutter 30,022 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 and there it is. 150 up after a whirlwind last 10 overs. Despite the ball spinning at right angles, jack has thrown caution to the wind and smashed at anything short of a length or outside leg stump. great innings and a personal best score for jack. meanwhile jake has been pacing himself and taking no risks, playing a straight bat at most balls, holding up his end, playing the long game. next stop the 300 partnership.
worldwideweb_demon 90 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 Let's just hope we don't miss Watts in the forward line too much next year and hope Weideman takes a big step up. I suspect Tom Mcdonald and Pedersen will have their ups and downs.

OK i'm going out on a limb here...i have no idea what that is in English but I'm just , for a moment , going to suppose that you think Watts might add to the cart that is the "Cats". If so. an outside running player who can spot up someone on a sixpence will very much help them. And I'll cry all night .

My point is that this footy dept and the previous footy depts. are different. Intelligent posters on this forum saw the warning signs very early on in Neeld's time. All evidence points to Goodwin and the rest of the footy dept steering this team in the right direction. When the evidence is positive, I think support is deserving. And at the very least, Goodwin has done enough already for this footy club for supporter to think twice before slagging him off because they disagree with one decision. I'm not as confident as you that Goodwin has done enough in his time. One major problem is to insist on continuing their way of playing' despite being beat. He only inists on playing those he is wedded too (maybe brought them to the club etc) has shown tha he will play them despite better options available. goodwin has thrown the baby out with the bathwater. I was the responsible of the coaches to they the best out of the individual to assist the team. Goodwin isn't interested in those that are mimic of his person style. So rather the team being coached for winning now it takes a few years from the coach to have mini me type in the team

No10 466 Posted October 10, 2017 Posted October 10, 2017 10 hours ago, Grand New Flag said: MFC have been working/shopping the Watts trade this morning. MFC have inquired about Zac Jones Plus pick or player in exchange for Watts. Although this was not outright rejected by Sydney, Sydney indicated this was unlikely. Zac is a required player. I don't understand this post, are you saying this is actually happening?? Watts has been told to explore options, so surely he will nominate a club first. Only then could the club start even having preliminary discussions like this. Or are you saying he has nominated Sydney? Wouldn't that be an odd move at the same time as touring another club? I had originally thought Sydney would be his destination but Geel seem like a better fit to me and the media seem to think Port. Given Zac has been mentioned I can see how a hypothetical fan trade could be discussed in forums, but officially from the club, that would be very poor form all things considered.

But what's Goody going to do now that he doesn't have the option of dropping Watts which seems to be his go to strategy? I'm really no fan of Bugg in the forward line. And Melksham is a little overrated.

He plays a high risk, high reward sort of game though. A good finals finish next year exemplified by a Demons outfit with a harder edge will see praise thrown in all directions at him and the shedding of Watts the right move. Another average year though and perhaps a resurgent Watts in a top 4 Cats team will see Mark Neeld MKII being thrown around all over this forum.
