So hard for our club to secure a home and the only club in the AFL to not have one! I hope they are looking at alternative sites as Port Melbourne vfl ground is so ripe for development along with the whole fisherman bend redevelopment will see an extra 20k of people, the council have also acquired land next door for open parkland etc

My thing on Oliver or any player who misses preseason due to behaviours is they need to earn their stripes & fitness back in the VFL, no issue in the contract he signed though I think all should be max 4 years, Yes Yze was part of 22-23 but Goodwin didn’t tweak game plan.

Unbelievable can see this falling over, it’s just all too hard and hinged on too many variables, so a decade since P Jackson took over we are no closer! If any site is based on gvt funding who are in do much debt good luck

He hasn’t coached well for his 9 years yes he won a flag but Yze played a big role, has struggled by his own admission in 19 & 24, pigheaded in 22 & didn’t play Casey players to rest seniors going into finals, burnt players like Bedford & Jordan, trading in Hunter who had issues culture issues allowing Oliver to play senior footy whilst he missed pre season, that sent a poor message to the others needed to earn his spot & respect back!

I just hope he does what Longmire did put his hand up to say I can do anymore with this group, no shame and he gets the respect as our only living premiership coach which he’s earnt.

Not sure why the previous CEO & President extended his contract in 22 understandable but again in 23 i believe why? What concerns me is when I hear him say outcomes are the driver but rather the environment etc well I’m sorry Simon we are in a win loss industry Spot on

Spot on! Jvr development impeded by having to ruck! I don’t see Georgiadis having to ruck!

Same issues last 4 seasons, hasn’t been able to fix them, which has cost us a flag!, it’s copy & paste, it’s been 9 seasons sure won a flag that’s great thanks, but it’s time, the $$ to pay him out vs what is costing us in membership and gate receipts. Finishing bottom 6 back to back is accepting mediocracy which we have history

Its copy & paste last 3 seasons, either the players are thickheads, or Goody isn’t up to it as he just simply can’t fix it and players need to hear a different voice

Totally agree, have been in his corner but 4 years of same BS and looking like back to back bottom 4 finishes is not acceptable with the talent we have, something isn’t right and can’t wait until 2026 for the change, it reflects our club a president & Ceo in waiting goes to the core of what’s wrong at the club!

Don’t agree totally, Goodwin has failed to evolve buy he’s own admission he back flipped to the old game plan mid 2024 and current one isn’t working, it’s clear he can’t get the players do stop bombing, list mgt through whatever reasons either cap space haven’t been able to trade in any quality experience players In particular forwards, look at who the pies have gotten, if ts cap space that’s poor list mgt though he would have input, but hey let’s burn another season so trac, Oliver, Viney Gawn May lever are one year older…

You reap what you sow… been saying it since 21 who have we traded in to fix our fwd issue… zip! Big talk of Ben King to the pies, yet we don’t ever seem to be linked to players to address our biggest issue in our FW50! Club needs to make some tough decisions on both Goodwin and list mgt to free up cap space as our once premiership mids look way off, it 9 seasons with Goody great won a flag & forever grateful but he hasn’t been able to fix it & unacceptable for back to back bottom 6 finishes

Copy & paste from the second half of season 2022, Goodwin hasn’t been able to fix the same issues which has cost us a flag & now sees us back to back bottom 6 finish, how & why should he keep his job, some one tell me why he stays!

Get ready for another 2 loss on the road to GC & Crows! Be luck to win another 2-3 games .. we see joke of club again

Goodwin will be known as the fought breaking flag coach but also a coach with biggest missed opportunity to win another one! He just fix the issues which have dogged the results in the last 4 seasons ! Time to part ways & say thanks for a flag but too much talent for a bottom 6 finish , leaders need to look I. The mirror with undisciplined acts costing us late goals , what was Viney thinking

Another late goal by an u undisciplined act by our VC continue poor kicking , we have dumb footballers

Our style of play and failure to convert our fwd 50s has cost us another flag! Yet nothing changes & Goodwin continues to lose games in the same way, at what stage is held accountable??

As usual to script can’t score , coping goals in the last minute … Goodwin we are going backwards , fwd issues continue for 4 seasons, no fwds who can hold a mark! How about leaving JvR instead of flogging him as a ruck

He did go thru tough times mentally losing his father & also he’s own cancer issues, goes to show moving state doesn’t fix the underlying issues! We got May which formed part of the best premiership defenders! After he’s Freo exit our list mgrs spoke but @ the time would have been high risk?? Goes to show having power fwds like hogan & Cameron would help our fwd issues no end since 21 flag, why our club hasn’t been able to find one, is it cap space or no one wants to come to the MFC

Understand that but we’re is the flexibility in 2-3 years if any player wants move back home & the contract is large, having to pay a large chunk to pay for another club ..

Love kozzie great talent etc and wrapt he’s staying but just a question on what is impact on these long term contracts from a list mgt perspective, does it impede on attracting talent through free agency or players coming out of contract or on the existing talent at the club, with long term deals to trac, Oliver they are hard to manage if things change

Luv kozzie great talent but will all these long contracts impact our ability to trade in talent eg free agents, impact to hang onto remaining talent due to less $$

Congrats to Lyon well deserved! Imagine Lyon, Schwartz, Neitz in the current team to fix fw50 issues

Watching hall of fame & seeing Hodge talk about his time at the hawks and the 4 flags in particular the 3 peat was all about how selfless he & the players were….we managed to do this for one season & watching May & Gawn it’s shows how far have we are off the pace, I hate pies but their players wouldn’t have yelled at their captain!

Same issues since 2022, more inside 50, clearances, centre clearances , hit outs, Long bombs continue, poor trading & failure to address our lack of a power fwd, it’s like a broken record watching it & hearing Goodwin say the same stuff! He’s had 3 seasons to fix this! How is Jvr meant to develope as a fwd playing ruck??? What’s stopped the club chasing players like Membry & Mcstay?? Surely our list mgt needs to be held to account or we just don’t have cap space, or we are not a destination club! Our disposal by foot from our best players eg Oliver , Trac etc not up to par
