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

    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..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rolleyes:

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

    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.

    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.

    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 .

    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?

    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.

    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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
