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

mcqualter and chaplin both contracted for 2025

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.

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

Nah.

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)

Thought Goodwin coached really well on the weekend

Are you sure Goodwin is the man, especially in this age

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 thought he was stubborn, no plan b or c.

If Goodwin is the man , what does that make Mitchell the Hawks coach ?

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

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

I think he'll get there. The guy can coach

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.
