McQualter reported to be in the running for WCE job.

 

Our midfield has gone backwards, if that's his job then I would call it a failure.

    it sounds like stafford, at least, will go as a result of being out of contract

    mcqualter and chaplin both contracted for 2025

    I'd be very sorry to see Chaplin go, our defence has been generally great for many years under enormous pressure. He's a gun IMO.

    I am MORE convinced than ever that Goodwin is NOT the man to take us forward. We need a new coach!

    Still time for Jeffo to be named, PF

    Was wondering the exact same thing. It’s confusing. I ❤️-ed one of these two posts then 🤮-ed the other. 😅

    Should be coaching for his future, if we get a flogging in the last two games it shows he’s lost the players 

    We need to be very competitive or we’re in more trouble than most think

    fish rots from the head! Board can follow him as well....

    Never a truer word spoken Fuchsias and the best example recently being the 20 year reign of Eddie at the Pies.

    As you point out Eddie drove the racist culture and until he was forced out nothing changed.  I feel for Craig McRae who is lumbered with Ned kelly and his continued culture problem and must emabrrass their coach who seems decent.

    But Eddie and Ned are tight and I susepct Jeff Browne has drunk the Kool Aid too, henc the unqualified defence of Ned.

    Disgrace and I can't help but wonder how the great Nev Jetta is feeling.

    I know Jodie Sizer (Pies Board director) and have wondeded why she also sits on her hands on this. Must like the Board perks.

    Feels little Geelong in the Bomber Thompson days - albeit they hadn’t tasted success. But in the same way it didn’t end well for Bomber (I mean life choices more broadly) I suspect Goody might be in the same path. I always feel he is too sympathetic to players. Worked whilst we had the fitness and got on a roll, but we have never been tough enough to make a dynasty of it

    Surely someone has something to say?

    Since 4pm-ish on Saturday?

     

    (Footnote: Goody's unambiguous presser statement that keeping Petty, Turner and Van Rooyen together has been a deliberate approach, for '10 weeks', to create what finally blossomed (and is clearly expected/intended to continue to flourish) on Saturday. So, also, Jefferson really does need to kick the door down)

    The two longest consecutively serving coaches in the AFL, Chris Scott and John Longmire, have two and one flag to their names respectively. Clarko and Hardwick have three apiece but they’re nowhere near it this year. Flags are a ridiculously tough metric to measure a coach on. Literally every single coach there’s ever been has been a dud if that’s the metric.

    We’ve only had one year under Goodwin where we’ve been uncompetitive, which was 2019. We’ve had four seasons (2018, 21, 22 and 23) where we’ve had a flag shot.  He is 7 from 8 on competitiveness, 4 from 8 on flag shots, and 1 from 4 on flag conversions. That is comparable with the best in the business.

    You feel for more McRae do you? I feel for Jetts, but McRae is one of, if not the most, arrogant coaches going around.

    You can add that in 2019 nearly no one at the club had a full preseason.

    Agree on Mcrae and the few times the heats been on he reverts to type like whingeing about umpires last week. Nicely slapped down by Longmire. 

    I just suspect Mcrae not a racist so fitting in at the Pies may be tricky for him

    Agree on McCrae, protected by the media because of Collingwood but he is a whinger of the highest order

    I think the next 6 months will be the making of Goodwin.

    Oddly, I have absolute faith he can navigate this crucial period.

    I hope so

    He needs to add attack to his repertoire

    What's this BS? Have you forgotten that we were the highest scoring team in 2018? Over 150 points more than the minor premiers and over 200 points more than the next highest club.

    It's just patronising and disrespectful.

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
