The old bloke AJ is 23.

He's 25 actually so at least if you are going to have a dip, get it right.

Perhaps mature aged recruit would suit better?

Pickets manager is the same as Bolton’s, who also denied that Bolton was requesting a trade up until the very moment Richmond made it official that he had requested a trade. I won’t buy any talk from him.

That’s the way that it worked up until now. But it may be that the Pandoras Box has opened with Allen and Sam Mitchell getting outed in public.

Don’t blame the agents this is what the AFL would like still.

I don’t think Viney had one positive possession, not one, he was actually a total liability. Clarry wasn’t too much better. Tracc again was poor with his disposal but slightly better than the other two.

Viney has been a great MFC person. However he has been poorly coached for a greater part of it. Now is the time to be a role player. One thing I’m certain of is ticking to Gawn gives a mid , x amounts of kicks where the mid has time to hit a target.

Buckley proposed an alternative reading of what they were trying to do: basically, move the ball as quickly as possible, eliminate/bypass the intermediate handball. Not saying it's working for the moment, but there are always 2 sides. At least.

Up until the first side is proved selfish and untenable for goal scoring.

The second side of the story should be introduced for 3:/ 4 matches and I’d not successful with wins and greater goals then Goody should be thanked lauded and John Longmire appointed immediately. Either way ability to bring in new assistants and whatever required to get the place moving again.

Let’s do something from left field and don’t waste the year as we won’t have any players supporters or hope if the change is not made.

Any player who resists team instructions is out and cleared at the end of the season.

And what about appointing a proper six player leadership team. Our current arrangement is spineless and should have had publicly known meetings to solve the friction and team disharmony that is there.

Teams can’t go from where we have and be happy. And it’s clear that confusion and frustration are rife among the natives.

Selection is a joke also and if any one suggests that all is well and the place will blow up if Goody is replaced then go out in sympathy with him please.

Nothing really successful has happened in 2023 since the finals started. It has been steadily down hill and the stubbornness of the FD and Coaches is mostly responsible.

we need a more positive attitude and game plan to attract players and fans alike. Don’t don’t is at our peril and we will go back to 2007 to 2014 as a Club.

JVR should never ruck again, what a dumb thing to do to the poor kid, it has really stifled him.

Petracca story sounds like a positive, can't read it though without a subscription but I get the jist...Kozzie who knows, would love him to stay though!

Just get JVR out of the ruck, AJ to ruck he looked decent in the first game and get Jeffo in there too...funnily enough our first game looked a lot better than all the ones that followed...interesting that, we kind of had some actual forwards even though they were not veterans.

Well, I can tell you there are plenty of players who we’ve approached in recent times only to be rebuffed due to our style of play amongst other reasons.

[censored] hell. That's disastrous.

arguably our best player

If not our out and out best, very close to our most important.
