Me, Redleg, Old, CB, and a couple others would have run a far better club (I would have been the leader). Glad we have matured past that… Neeld was poor but Jesus Christ would have struggled with that footy department. The fish absolutely rotted at the head, but I get what you’re saying about that time frame. I have a fair amount of faith in Goody, Choco, Richo, Yze, Chappy, Lamby, JT, Stafford and co 1

Goodwin conceded that on reflection Max Gawn should have been given more time in the ruck with Luke Jackson spending more time forward. 1

JimmyGadson 3,455 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Goodwin conceded that on reflection Max Gawn should have been given more time in the ruck with Luke Jackson spending more time forward. So to the posters who consistently have a go at those who question Goodwin's decisions, here is one example (of many) where he got it wrong. And admitted as much. Many of his decisions should be questioned, regardless of the fact we won a flag last year. 4
DeeSpencer 26,667 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) Brown’s training and moving freely so I can’t imagine we pull the pin on him now, not for a kid. We need T Mc to remove Brown. If we do JVR for Melksham it gives us the following advantages: 1. Extra height 2. The ability to move Brown to FF and play JVR at CHF, takes the workload off BBB 3. Less Gawn forward It comes with the following disadvantages 1. The kid might struggle to get a kick and he’s almost certainly going to struggle to play out 4 quarters of high intensity footy 2. Melksham has been excellent at dragging an interceptor out of the way, as a senior player he nails the set ups and patterns to occupy a defender 3. The Melk has been ok defensively, likely better than a baby tall will be It’s a lot to weigh up. And I really think Melk has done a fairly reasonable job with a tricky task. He blew all his chances last week but he still had chances. And there’s 10 other things wrong with the side apart from him. Edited September 8, 2022 by DeeSpencer 2

Goodwin’s probably not a super coach, but it’s hardly a super list either. In particular, trying to solve a scoring/key forward problem without the personnel to do so is always going to take some failed experiments. 1

By the sounds of it, one of McDonald or JVR is going to play tomorrow IMO. Goody was a little cagey, but very firm that nothing would be announced until later today about those guys. 2

Not a forward. Tmac (unlikely) or van rooyen a must.

If we move it as we did against Brisbane he will get some opportunities, but so would Melksham and the rest of the forwards. It's a ball movement issue more than a personal one

Goodwin’s probably not a super coach, but it’s hardly a super list either. In particular, trying to solve a scoring/key forward problem without the personnel to do so is always going to take some failed experiments. It's about ball movement. And that's a Goodwin imprint. And when you say it's hardly a "super list", are you referring to the forwards alone? We are instructed to kick to pockets on slow plays. It's been drilled so far into the players' pyches that they consistently miss hittable options elsewhere. The shackles need to be released for the rest of this campaign and I don't mean a full team Essendon style offensive attack where we leave our defenders completely vulnerable. But our players just need to be given the licence to hit other options/spots when going forward from slow plays. All teams left bar Brisbane know how to trouble our defenders going forward and know how to stifle our forwards when we go forward. We are not winning it from here without a couple of curveballs.
KysaiahMessiah 725 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 I don’t think it’s throwing JVR to the wolves …BBB will play, Jackson or Gawn will be “resting” forward. JVR will be third tall against a side we should dispose of. If 2022 is the time, it’s this game, not a prelim.
old55 23,860 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 We're trying to win the flag. Geelong and Sydney's intercepting defenders will eat JVR for breakfast, we've gotta stick with Melksham. 2 1
The Jackson FIX 3,499 Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 17 hours ago, dazzledavey36 said: Usually by now you'd hear whispers of potential debutant like the Brisbane one last week. Looks like it won't be the same for JVR. Shame. Given it is a final not out of the realm of possibility they keep their cards closer to their chest. However probably more likely the JVR mystery is mainly designed to put a rocket up BBB 2
