  1. Agree the stats suggest we are just burning opportunities
  2. Stole my thunder … we’re are the smalls to pick to collect from Brown who contested ??? The ball just kept coming back & resulted in their last goal for GWS it’s very poor & Pickett need to stop trying to take matk of the year!
  3. Skill level was deplorable & kicking .., Trac kicking continued to get worse, Hunter kicking is a joke as kicks it straight to the opposition & has done so all season, fwd 50 entries are a joke , going long to Brown in wet conditions, honestly how dumb is that! The ball just kept coming out of their backline it’s so Frustrating watching dumb entries
  4. Don’t deserve to make top 4 perhaps even finals & such a typical melb list , we have gone backwards & I fear a cliff is coming! continue to sell games mfc to play for 4 points in a suburban ground .. don’t see Collingwood doing this, but as long as we can help a community the 4 points mean jack !

    Jvr can’t be the difference between winning or losing & shouldn’t! needs to be managed both physically & mentally. Plenty of fwd entries to suggest it’s the method

    How does our club continue to get these clumsy fixture after winning a flag we still get drawn to play away against the Cats which makes it 3 games since our home game in early 2021! then followed by a home game in Alice Springs then a game @ Marvel , that’s 3 away games. Understanding the club has contracts in the Alice & was done when the club had sever finance issues but this 3 week period is so tricky & BS when see the Pies maximising to play as many games at the G!
  9. Has Goody been asked the Petty decision to play him as a defender when he was playing fwd before his injury???
  10. Either we have dumb players or our coach’s strategy is dumb.We continue to win the ball then blow it with dumb entries.., will this group be the biggest waste of talent to not win any more flags?
  11. So the Afl are running a comp based on negotiated deals with individual clubs, what a joke
  12. The reality can’t play each other twice so very simple one season you play home & the next away.. Cats have every right to play home games even host finals with new increased capacity.
  13. Compromised draw to meet contracts with the MCG on x amount of games, tv ratings all come first vs integrity of the competition. As mentioned cats play the pies twice ay the G for supposedly more people get to see the game then the cats want a make up game at home and make us play there in a stadium that’s not completed and are ok with less people able to attend to watch the last 2 premiers whilst the mcg was vacant, why isn’t ok for less people to attend to watch cats vs the pies at gmhba but it’s ok if its melb??? You don’t have thus happening in the EPL or any other National comps globally! What is so hard for the afl to have a draw with one season home & the next away??? How is there any integrity in the AFL when they develop a fixture doing individual deals to appease individual clubs then give scraps to smaller clubs Our Club needs to stop selling home games & possible 4 points as once again our draw will see us play away for 3 weeks in a row with Gmhba, NT, Marvel, I’m sure Pert is a strong negotiator but about time our club started getting more than just scraps

    No excuses but Afl has made us play our last 3 games at Geelong since playing at the G in 2921 , when do the Cats ever lose their home ground advantage playing us?? So our fixture selling a game to play in NT is now a neutral ground vs GWS & give up home ground … this is 4 points are we not passed the $$$ issue so this 3 week block is basically playing away gmhba, nt, marvel Still can’t understand the complexities of the AfL ad why they can’t have teams playing 1 season home & next away
  15. Fwd line needs a shake up badly , bring in BB, Sache , melksham , … why bowey wasn’t played as would have been great in the wet. Though I don’t see Goodwin making so many changes, but just having Smith & Jvr want yeild us a flag
  16. We are forever grateful as he’s our premiership drought breaking coach… development & recruiting from Jason Taylor excellent but look at our fwd line & understanding personnel with injuries to Bb & Tmac we only have a 20y JVR who is doing fine considering his youth etc..club Ned’s to capitalise on the premiership window & we haven’t been able to recruit a great n fwd.. all of our smalls not playing well & continue to bomb it in
  17. The Afl draw has seen us play the Cats 4 times since 2021 with once at the G in 21 & last 3 away… we’re is the fairness here??? Our fwd line has been an issue for years with 2 on the sidelines on BB & Tmac unlikely to return to any greatness. looking at the other top 8 sides all have gun fwds and we haven’t been able to attract any free agents. Yet it appears they have banked on Grundy & Gawn to fill the void.. Gawn yet zero goals between them, Pickett should have cleaned up last night yet looks badly out of form …
  18. Copy & paste pressure by Goody… fwd line has been an ongoing issue with stop gap solutions with T Mac and Bb who both have ongoing injuries, grant it they got away with it in 21 flag but look at the top 8 sides fwd lines it’s chalk & cheese, we are expecting a 20yo Jvr to hold down a kpp spot .. feel sorry for the kid! Expecting Tmac & Bb with continued injuries, don’t hold ur breath as both are past it
  19. Fwd line is a mess .. expecting a 20yo Jvr & smith to kick a winning score really
  20. What’s the point of 2 gun rucks …zero goals between them .. fwd line expecting Jvr & smith to kick a winning score???
  21. Fwd line is a mess, Gawn Grundy is currently failing & over investing in rucks when we need feds, Expecting a 20 yo Jvr $ smith to kick our goals … any chance the afl will allow us to play @ home in the next decade???
  22. Consider sub of van Rooyen if wet weather continues wit spargo
  23. Why would the afl play the last 2 premiers on a Thursday nite in Geelong with a stadium that has restricted attendance due to construction whilst the G is empty & deny more people seeing the game, not to mention playing at their home ground 2 years in a row!
  24. Why does the afl get us to play away & their home ground 2 yrs in a row??? This isn’t isolate & consistent all teams, not sure why they can’t swap over season??
