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?

13/13 poll suggests it's not as ridiculous as some are making it out to be. Unlikely sure.

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. 

Why sack a [censored] coach for an even shitter coach

Reports already around Pyke will be sacked.

[censored] it. Straight swap. Pyke for Goodwin. Get it done. 

I’d rather Mark Neeld

Pyke, Goodwin, no one will be clambering to sign either.

Goodwin to Adelaide ?  Marvellous  idea....get the paperwork  ready

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. 

Why would Adelaide want Goodwin?

One can dream .....

On current form they can have him!

"Sorry Simon Crows made an offer we can't match it sorry to see you go best of luck at the Crows here's the taxi I'll hold the door open for you ALL THE BEST MATE"

Let him go, pay the airfare and moving bill

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.
