Agreed, must win the winnable’s. I think we can beat Collingwood, Adelaide, Hawthorn and the GC on our current, low injury trajectory. The Dogs look awesome atm and I love watching the way they play so I think they’re the toughest match up. Carlton also seem to keep finding away to beat us since Kozzies 22 heroics. The Pies are the ones who keep finding a way to win against basically all opposition. I reckon as much as Goodwin only has Sydney on his mind he’ll have been working on ways to beat them. Staying injury free is the key. We get a charmed run and then it’s game on baby!

Oh yeah, for those at the club it's a game at a time

Where as we can speculate and it won't make an ounce of difference

We live in hope

👍Can’t wait for the KB game. It really looks as a must win for me. As confidence builds so does the need to keep winning. I watch Essendon and North play and just think how the hell did we lose those matches??

What ever happened to one game at a time??

The Dees Management need to set a high standard when selecting a senior coach. A contract needs to be based on the coaches and staff performance(success). i.e 3-4 finals and 1 grand final every five years. Goodwin's contract would have been over this year , no need to keep him for 2026 or to pay him out.

Let me know when you find a coach like that.

Just sayin....

I’m on holiday the next few weeks so I’m looking ahead ! I know that’s not allowed. Just see me as the forward scout without the badges and weird neck tie thing they wear.

We're still going to lose games, even "winnable" games, and there'll still be bumps in the road going forward. This year is about consolidating a different way of playing and slowly turning over the team, where progress in those goals has to be judged over the longer term, not week by week.

One factor that hasn't been mentioned almost anywhere is that we've effectively turned over the whole coaching staff with either new people or new responsibilities. That was never going to come together overnight.

It's not just the players who have had to get used to a new(er) way of doing things.

As Ronald Dale would say...... Possesions u give me possesions and I'll Shut up

Well ditto Goodwin if we dont play finals it must be ALL OVER!

Overall, I’m happy we’ve righted the ship. At 0-5 and off field dramas it was looking like a disaster of St kilda type proportions. If we sacked Goodwin then like many wanted we would have spiraled downwards.

Goodwin to his credit has knuckled down and got the team playing well. No injuries has helped for sure. we are 4-1 from the last 5 and finally gave a fairly settled 22

Not sure if Goody is the man long term as when you get close to a decade i usually think it’s time to try something new unless you have regular success. But no one can doubt his laser like focus and commitment to the club.
