I thought the forward line was eons better than last year and did a lot right. 
 

The midfield is my biggest concern. It’s where we are stacked for talent and can’t get consistent results. 
 

As I’ve said in other threads I’m happy for Mahoney and Goodwin to have one last year and win or lose together. 

Well if they won’t get rid of Goodwin I’m glad they’re at least looking at getting him top quality support. At least then there really won’t be anymore excuses.

Here you are @old dee. Now you can truly believe in the FD review.

Thanks to @Lucifer's Hero for the article.

I think what's telling in that whole article is that Alan Richardson position is not safe at all. Though seeing as he is a former teammate and friend of Gary Pert I cannot see him getting cut.

Some interesting names that appear to get new contracts. The likes of Hibberd, Spargo, and Lockhart all look set to get new deals.

Not much to the article just stating that it’s finals or bust for the off field team. All football department positions are under review including Richardson/Mahoney. No comment on if Goodwin is under review but you would assume so. Click bait on the Brayshaw/Viney comment 

So what was said about those two? Finals or bust must be obvious to everybody, including Goodwin. 

You would assume everyone gets run over with a fine tooth comb with Goodwin it being based on what areas he needs to improve in to get the team achieving the best their capable of. 

Mahoney is an interesting one because I remember Roos being very complimentary or him but he should be heavily reviewed given the lacklustre results the last two seasons.

Don't know that word: it's not in the dictionary.Is it one of those LOL type words?

Every Position within the Football Dept should be under review. No exceptions 

We didn’t make the Game that is on right now.

Looks like a review is happening but what we don't know is substantial. Is it internal or external and who is conducting it.i wait in hope but I hope is just not a white wash.

By the way, has it been a good year for cucumbers?

Every coaching position should be reviewed.  
 

Goodwin safe for 2021 but the rest might be on the edge. 
 

I would put serious $$$ to keep Burgo. 
 

Richo probably might be lucky to stay on. 

Could one of you legends PM the article please ??????

Look at the pressure tonight. 
that is the level we have to get to, sporadic pressure acts and scoreless quarters are worthless in Finals

the Bears overtook us with such ease

Surely this happens every year regardless 

This is only a "story" as we finished 9th and have underwhelmed the last 2 years

Yes

But need to balance challenges of continuity, building a team, being on a "journey" (? I hate that word) with cleaning the carcass and "rebuilding"
