What's the general consensus for how many more losses can the club have before "Is Goodwin the Right Guy" is back at number one on the thread list?

Goody is safe. I’ll be asking questions of the assistant coaches.

It means last week’s sub, Fyfe, is “in”. 

AFL has to change the rules to mean clubs name 23 plus three emergencies. If the sub is credited with a game, the sub should be named alongside the 22.

Fyfe was subbed out

Not that hard to tell us who is in and out of the 22 is it?  the sub is picked 90 ins before the game and is not relevant to the teams coming out

[Hawny for Gawny 451]

Not exactly inspirational changes however we need to have some continuity in the forward line, can't expect TMac or BBB to provide on the first game back especially as they are on the wrong side of 30 w/ injuries.

Oh ok well the point remains, whoever last week’s sub was is now “in” to the 22. But they don’t come up as an “in” because they were already “in” as the sub. They can’t name a replacement until they name the new sub.

Christ, supporters overrate Jordon the way they bang on about him. 

You obviously don’t rate him, would you like to give an explanation?

[BDA 22,755]

Was hoping bb would come in. TMac looks past it.

last weeks sub wasn't in the 22. so if they are now in the 22, they should be listed as an in

depending on what week it is you could easily exchange the names in that statement

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

I miss Ben Brown and Joel Smith (as a forward).

[Dee Zephyr 19,267]

I must be one of only a handful that thought T Mac was ok last week considering the conditions and the amount of ball we gave up.

BB was playing well before he was injured. TMac hasn’t looked played well in a long time (I don’t count the game against the hapless eagles).

We badly need to add a KPF to our list in the off-season

Walyalup loses Sonny Walters. 

That's a plus for the dees given our struggle against quality mid sized forwards and winning ground ball inside D50.

Tmac hasn’t looked very good since about halfway through 2021. Can’t believe Brown has been frozen out since his first couple of games this year. Very weird. He’ll never play that well at Casey. Needs that silver service, and not often Div 2 footy will provide that.

He wasnt our worst. Problem is the ball hardly made it back there and it was wet. 

Our problem is the small / pressure forwards. They need to plant themselves around the feet of our talls, but with the current game style, they are pressing up deep into Defence and perhaps not fit enough to get back to support.

@drysdale demon Care to elaborate what’s so funny?

[CHF 2,738]

I think we are a bit light on for midfield rotations with the team that is named even if you include a mid as the sub. We may not have the legs to run out the game and may get found out in the 4th quarter.

We lost one mid and brought in two CHF, what makes you think we will be a bit light on for midfield rotations?

Rubbish team Goody needed to make a statement

! How T.Mac AND JVR Are STILL IN IS A MYSTERY

Jordan will be elsewhere at end of year.

Hes ok... not necessarily ( our ) 1st 22..  Deserves a go somewhere

Same reason that I thought the same last week: We do not have enough run through there to cover the whole game. We did bring in another mid but have lost Hunter that spends 90%+ time on the ground and Oliver that spends 80%+ TOG.

We shall see. I hope that I am wrong.

Ok. Blokes easily good enough to be best 22. Can’t get a game. Contract talks on hold. Gone.
