So which 12 months last year of this year, what position does a Board member play?

Another wrist slashing thread, ho hum

The 12 months from Jackson 's exit has been bad but it could stretch back to Goodwin's first day as senior coach. Our board maintains "we are experts who are born to rule" attitude that has hampered our team since our last flag. Our drafting and player management has become stupid. No wrist slashing - seen it all before. The AFL will probably need to do another intervention if we don't improve our competitiveness across the franchise.

    Is there a way to put a topic on ignore?

    I don’t think we’d go after Roos to ‘ward off’ Carlton, wouldn’t it be to steady the ship? 

    Either way, bring back Roos.

    Could've been worded better no doubt. I really meant that the club looks upon Roos' On The Couch comments about Carlton and his frustrations with Goodwins tactics, as an admission that he's gettable once again.

     I’d rather a goodbye to Goodwin and go after someone other than Roos (as good as he was for us, he was and would always be a part time solution). 

    I’d rather go after a Ratten or maybe a Caracalla first.

    I'd rather anyone at all except Goodwin.

    Adelaide won’t replace one mediocre coach with another. They are a winning club with lots of pride and money. They are not Melbourne.

    Ratten can coach, remember what he did with Melb's midfield years ago. He's been part of Clarko's regime and now his time at Carlton doesn't look as bad.

    Of course he can coach. He just didnt git the mentality of some of the old back room boyz club of ours.

    Goodwin has a lot of work to do but....

    Roos came in, stacked the side with veteran midfielders and won 4 games and 7 games and steadied the ship with an awful game plan of flooding back and hoping to keep games tight. He got some fundamentals right - defensive work rate was good, attack on the contest was good, defensive spoiling skills were solid.

    Goodwin then took over and introduced an aggressive zone defence, upped the forward pressure from 0 to actually competent and created an angle changing aggressive ball movement system that challenged a lot of teams as he won 10, 12 and then 15 games.

    A lot of things have gone wrong this year:
    1. Injuries, injuries and more injuries
    2. List management failures with lack of quality outside running depth
    3. Skill breakdowns - the fundamental handball yet alone kicking skills aren't there
    4. Structure around the ball falling away

    Goodwin has a responsibility in a lot of it but the idea he's suddenly a poor coach after 1 year when he really built this team from little more than Roos' scrappy Vince/Jones/Cross resistance to a prelim final side doesn't make sense to me.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
