I love how last year our flag was built off the coaching of our assistant coaches and now when we don't win it, it's all Goodwin's fault.

Exactly!!!! Some supporters just have it in for Goodwin

Have no idea what will happen with Jake Melksham from a contract point of view.

But Corowa Rutherglen Football Club have pretty much a senior coaching role for him to walk into if he is delisted.

Brother Darcy plays senior footy here for the Roos and his dad Dave is a development coach.

Are you from up that way DD, good mate of mine comes from Corowa, his mum still lives up there

But in their defence, when he eventually leaves the club they can say they were right all along and he wasn’t the right guy🤣🤣🤣

Albury mate. Grew up around the area so know Corowa inside out.

Missus family are big part of the Corowa Footy Club and have been for many years.

It's certainly a collective as a whole I agree and I have mentioned them as a group together.

Yze and his mids were poor during the finals series. The connection between Gawn and the mids was completely out of wack as it had been in certain parts of the year. We had two best ruck combo in the game and we got beaten around clearances far too easy for my liking.

I think Stafford will be under pressure the most to keep his job. Line coach of a pretty dysfunctional forward line wouldn't exactly look good on his record

I think Goodwin will reflect back on this year and know deep down if he had his time again he would have done things different.

We know he's a good coach as much as he's frustrated the hell out of me. He'll learn from it.

Said during the week that regardless what happens this finals series I'm genuinely excited we can do some serious damage next year.

If I could have my pick for 1 assistant coach, it’s Don Pyke.

What he does with speed of ball movement would be sensational for us

Rubbish, we would never have appointed him in the first place.  Didnt know the difference between brie and camembert.

Kosi is contracted and has a serious girlfriend. 
Kane Cornes talks a lot of garbage. 

Glad he has a serious gf who hopefully loves living in Melb and would never consider moving interstate.

How does too much speed of ball movement gel with the defensive back 7 though? That's the balancing act.

I think it's giving licence to a certain few (as per my recent post in the game plan thread) and allowing some flexibility with the ebb and flow the game to take the game on more with the corridor.

Yep but as I said in other posts, the change has started but we’re not consistent with it and when we’re under pressure we go back to what we know.

The footage is there from round 15 onwards and it was evident in the first quarter last night

Have a look at Sydney he’s the architect of their ball movement, he had the Crows playing fast high tempo footy off rebound and I saw him at WAFL level do the exact same with the teams he coached

Yep, first 15 minutes was daring and had we kicked straight in that time we'd have been 6 or 7 goals up and it'd have been game over.

We reverted to safer ball movement and they got on top of us in the second half of that first quarter.

Yep part of it it is also the players having faith in the system and it being second nature

Our whole game style is playing not to lose. It’s a defeatists attitude that needs to change over summer.

Kane Cornes saying Kozzie Pickett in the sights of the two Adelaide clubs. 

If this happens pack the joint up 

He's contracted, no way we let him walk. Also Adelaide and Port are allegedly going to get Rankin and Dunkley respectively which will cost first rounders minimum, so they will have bugger all trade capital to make anything appealing to us. Next year is when we worry.

We got 1 year into JVR instead for the Dogs pick 17. no idea how Swans got it though. Great work again from JT

Has to do with the Crows getting Dees 2022 1st round and then traded to Swans for Jordan Dawson deal.  Wish we had Dawson.  Nonetheless JVR was worth the trade and hoping he’s another JT success.

Not only sacked him as coach but would have desisted him as a forward as well.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
