Love Trac feel sorry for him

I’ll be surprised if he hangs around. I reckon we have one more season to give him a reason to.

I think Goody is the new Voss - maybe a reasonable assistant coach. Maybe. The list to die for has gone backwards and soon our better players will start to look elsewhere. Time for Goody to walk.

I've resisted as long as I could, but this is the first time I'll say it. 

Goodwin has to go. There is literally no excuses this year. You just failed as a senior coach. Time to move on.

I cant see how Goodwin survives, how many members would want him to stay now?

I'm not renewing if he is still coaching next year.

Petracca, Rivers, May, Viney, you can stay.

We can now add the Dockers to the list of teams that have overtaken us.

And Hogan was there for it!

Ugh.

I hate to criticise first year players, especially those that are clearly great kids and crack in like Kosi. But if you’re incapable of kicking those goals, you won’t have a very long career. Hope he can iron out that very clear deficiency in the summer.

 

 

 

10 minutes of effort when the game was done. Bring that intensity and direct wet weather footy required for the whole game and we have a comfortable win. We are just not up to it. from the coaches box down Dumb football brains

Outhustled by 14th and 15th on the ladder. Looked to have the requisite intensity for the last 5 minutes. Bizarre.

Forget Goodwin...those blokes got beat by a group who wanted it more than them.

He has to go now, now. Before he can do any more damage.

About what we deserve, we're a mid-table side at best. The drop away in quality after our best dozen or so is like falling off a cliff. OK, a couple of youngies there who we can build with for the future (Rivers, Kickett, Jackson), but losing (e.g.) Jetta up one end and Tom Mac down the other is a bridge too far, leaving us with some real holes in the list. They could just about cull 20 of them and we'd hardly even notice.

Not to mention the lack of on field leadership. No accident that we did well in 2018 when Jordan Lewis was still playing for us. Not sure how that's going to be addressed in the short term.

How the hell are we supposed to afford to pay him out 2 years of remaining contract in these covid impacted times? We're stuck with him I'd say for at least 2021.

Agreed. It's a problem of our own making - the AFL aren't going to pitch in for the payout. But the membership and possibly sponsorship fallout might make for bigger losses. We're [censored] either way.

Do the right thing at seasons end Simon and step down. You have failed us miserably.

Yes, our game plan doesn’t stack up and yes we only have a handful of decent players.

But we we were pretty unlucky to play in those horrid conditions two weeks in a row.

Our opposition played in the same conditions... 

We have 4-5 elite players but lacking in 6-16 bracket and no visible game plan of any sort. Even in the wet I could see what Freo were trying to do but buggered if I could work us out. Starting Fritsch behind the ball in the first showed a lack of confidence in a team defence and robbed us of balancing our chance to score against a miserly side. 

We are not finals worthy and will finish accordingly.

I’ll post some photos.

Honestly can't tell if you're trolling with these comments but they're poorly timed right now considering your target audience.

Whoever is in charge of this [censored] club, stand up and make some bloody changes.

Red flag should have been raised the moment Josh Mahoney was given the role of doing internal reviews.

Our playing list is ridiculously overrated. Oliver, Viney do nothing but run around like headless chooks and crash into each other.

Rivers, Langdon, Vandenberg the only ones who just wanted it more tonight.

Bit harsh on Viney at least on tonights effort, only one that provided any sort of good clearance work. I agree that he can sometimes be too much of a bull for his own good and for that of the midfield balance but there are other fingers to be pointed tonight, just not at him. 

agree on rivers, langdon and vanders. 

If Goodwin goes does Chaplin stand in?

Good on u Gary Lyon named names spot on

That was just so poor. Same as wans game. Weak half hearted tackles...no run and spread...hospital handballing...too many passengers.

Freo with nothing to gain showed us how you play the game. 

This club. Just wow.

Wear it with pride boys. You get what you deserve in this game.

Yeah, not all of them though. Trac, Viney, Oliver were fantastic.

I won’t be renewing until he is gone. Will put my membership on auto renew if he goes though.

These are my thoughts too. I’ve been a member for 25 years, joined my wife and family up and pay extra for GF guarantee. I live in Perth so get to see them live once per year. I’m done

Didn't think I could feel worse than last week.

Then we serve up that slop.

I've been putting it off for a while now, but that has to be the end of Goodwin's senior coaching career.  If it doesn't happen right now, then it happens at the end of the season.  I know there are financial implications involved, but I was embarrassed tonight.  We stunk it up again from the moment we got going and we never looked in it.  We hung around like last night's pizza for most of the night, but I didn't feel as though were ever going to win it.

Our forward line is a mess.  Weid is constantly battling two or three.  I can't understand why the [censored] we picked Preuss, in these conditions, to play as a forward all night.  Outside of one tackle he did nothing.  Our small forwards were Bedford and Pickett, two kids who are still raw and learning the game, and ANB, who does ANB things and really shouldn't be playing football.  Fritsch, while he can be soft, gets a pass mark from me as at least he gets to the right spots and does things with ball in hand.

Our midfield was running on empty and we lacked rotations in there.  I have to commend Trac, Oliver and Viney as they never stopped trying, but they were outmatched.

And lets not forget that we had too many passengers - Smith, Pickett, Bedford, Baker, Hunt (okay, he did two good things, but that was it), Hibberd.  There are probably more, but we need everyone contributing to win games of footy and it just doesn't happen.

Positives - I really like Trent Rivers.  Great drafting there.  Mids did okay.  Langdon has a dip.  Tomlinson did really well in defence.  That's really about it.

Hurting big time tonight.  Hopefully the club has the courage to make some big decisions in the coming months.

Another e-hug to all of you out there.  

Why is Lever not in your passengers list? Was as bad as anyone and weak efforts cost us at least 2 goals.

Will pale in comparison to money lost through memberships if he stays on @leucopogon.

I gave 500 to the proud to give campaign. I’d give another [censored] grand if it meant paying this fool out.

I think we can draw a line through more than the coach after watching that. Too early to name players, but the blokes who came in had an opportunity. There is a future for Rivers, some of the regulars (Petracca, Gawn, Oliver, Fritsch, VDB, Viney (until hit), Hibberd) were up to AFL standard, but after that I'm scratching what hair I have left.
