This is not a plausible narrative. Goodwin has been Senior Coach for 4 years prior to the flag, making all key decisions. In his first match, there were only 8 of the premiership players in the team. Blokes likes Billy Stretch, Watts, Weid, Hannan playing. You act as if this was Chris Scott taking over a premiership team! We hadn't made finals for 10 years. Roos did a great job taking us from a basket case to a decent, well run team. Make no mistake, Simon Goodwin was instrumental in our flag and to state otherwise is disrespectful and foolish.

I agree it is time for a change with Goodwin, or soon at least However, tactically Goodwin did well against the Hawks. Which has been the biggest knock on him. If we kicked straight we would have been up by 5 goals at 3/4 time. The issues were kicking for goal and failing to run out the game. Some of which falls on Goodwin and some of which falls on the fitness staff and the players themselves Do I blame Goodwin because a 29yo player like Fritsch missed 2 easy goals? No I do not. They are professional players, they should all be able to kick for goal as a minimum requirement and practice more if they need it

Can't believe he went for a check-side with his kick for goal. could have made all the difference to his confidence had he kick that. He was only 20m from goal. Unless you are Kozzi, increase the angle and snap with your left for an easy goal One of the many terrible kicks for goal on the day. We are meant to be professional football players. Kicking for goal should be something that is a given when you've played the game your whole life

Never heard of that Footy Show but it looks like they deliberately collected the most annoying attention grabbing fools (apologies to Nick) Who would watch that dribble?

Even when they had Hogan, Riccardi, Stringer etc all out injured he wasn't even an emergency Why bother blocking him if he will never get a game? With Lever and Hore constantly injured, if he ends up being a backman, we could use another interceptor and leave Turner fwd

Sorry I was being sarcastic. Goody didn’t trade him away. He was a troubled young man who went through cancer and the death of his father and lost his way It was 4-5 years until he started played good footy again

Lions have a terrible record at Ninja stadium

Yeah Goody thought he was rubbish and deliberately traded him away 7 years ago against his wishes moronic comment

The Giants can GAGF. plastic expansion club with no supporters But I like them SO much more than the Cats

Just came on here to say Eat a bag of [censored] Cats!!

yep. great call by Goody to play him on a wing. He’d be lost up fwd He must have a fair tank on him for a kid

Can anyone think of a better game from a 7 game first year player? Harvey is so exciting. in 3 years he will be a man mountain

We proved our new game plan is promising and developing and had we kicked straight we would have been 30 pts up at 3/4 time and would have won imo So a tick for the Coaches and game plan No tick for the last Q fall away and horrific kicking for goal. This is not coaching related imo. Senior players should be able to manage their nerves and technique under pressure. We had teenager show the old blokes how to do it

What did Langford do?

Lions will smash us

I thought Clarry did well on Newcombe wouldn’t drop or sub him

Langford Trac Gawn Bowey T. Mac Kozzi

I reckon Goodwin outcoached Mitchell today but if your players can’t kick straight from 30m it doesn’t matter what tactics you use

The game should have been over at 3/4 time. We dominated the middle part of the game and missed 8 easy shots at goal

this is going to be longest 30 minutes ever

Kozzi was in row F when he marked that!

Pressure and tackling from Sparrow just manic and ferocious

We are 2.11 without Harvey

Lindsay so good there. Spoil, then tackle, beats 2 and handballs it

After calming down a little… it’s great that we seem to be a competitive team again after that first month
