Ooooh Learnings

Swans are a huge chance against the Cats

No Hogan or Stringer GWS might be the ones that miss out on finals on 15 wins. Insane Another year they could be top 4 on those points

Hopefully he can predict where the game might be headed, not just catch up to what is working now in 2 years when it is outdated

If Jobe can be as concise and articulate on this panel as he is with this special comments, he will be a great addition

3 absolute cracking matches this weekend AFL at it again putting one of them on at midday saturday. really committed to growing the expansion teams If Gold coast win that will secure top 4 as they should finish on 17 wins Lions Freo tonight is a top 4 play off Crows have north next week so are guaranteed top 2 so unfortunately i don’t think they’ll be giving everything

I reckon the changes are fair. Aside from early on, the pressure and effort was there. Petty and JVR are slowly starting to click. It would be harsh to drop anyone else Hope we give them a proper game and beat the [censored]

I have a feeling May will clock Ginnivan or Watson

Transparencies and a projector i’m hearing

Apparently he is quite honest and direct.

The *wink *wink process has kicked off Don’t say Buckley …. Buckley

Thank you sir

I’d love a couple of ‘failed’ 16 win seasons at the moment!

I think it’s fair to say that CAM BRUCE HAS GONE COMPLETELY MAD!!

Goodwin is good bloke but is treating every media opportunity like a job interview He is acting like the board and us members knew we’d have a couple of down years and then go again. I’m fairly sure that was not the plan We all thought we were in contention still. So clearly that is a falsehood. I wish him well but let’s not rewrite history

I wonder how we’ll look back on this decision in 5 or 10 years Not often a premiership coach gets sacked who hasn’t ‘lost the players’. 2 poor seasons for sure but a fair bit of adversity in that time with star players. I wonder what narrative he had created with the board. i.e. we have a lot of quality senior players, some issues with stars and we need a new game plan. give me 2-3 years to regenerate through the draft, imbed the new gameplay and we will be back in the top 4 in 2026. I imagine there was a metric he didn’t meet. Good on Simon for not throwing us under the bus, despite being so devastated. he is great football person

I guess if we wait a month all the top assistants would be gone

Crazy how quickly people forget about Ben Kennedy

So touching the genital/[censored] area of an opponent is not frowned upon by the AFL That should increase child participation at grassroots unbelievable

He is clearly just trying to help him up

Either way the AFL need to thoroughly probe Smith to get answers. A line up could be useful too, for Smith to finger the perp

Turner is a beauty but still too inexperienced. I'm glad we have Gawn to give us stability with the change in Head Coach and CEO etc. If Lever can get his body right, he would be my choice although if Gawn has 2 more years in him, Lever might be almost done by then. Rivers has good traits and our young group has leadership potential, which is important as we seem to have a gap in 23-28 age group So buggered if I know!

Thank you Picket, coming from you that means a lot

I reckon he is the most stubborn bloke in footy. I’m a soccer guy and I liken him to one of my heroes Roy Keane. Such a dedicated professional that doesn’t understand why everyone else isn’t devoted to the game all day every day. Bucks had the best years of Pendlebury, Sidebottom. When he took over there was Dane Swan, Heath Shaw, Daisy, Ball, Cloke, Jolly etc etc. He came in, said there was culture problems, (that Malthouse had been able to handle) and decided to rebuild a ready made premiership team. He got rid of the guys he didn’t like. Then won zero finals for the next 5 years. Then in fairness he did very well to build a team that almost won it. Those 5 years fans were begging him to do something different, change his style, but he never wavered. My belief is he wanted to win a flag that was his, not on the back of Malthouse. If he was not a club legend he would have been sacked in 2016 - Goodwin style That’s not to say I think he is a bad choice. I’ll back him and hope he’s learned from his mistakes.

The posters that wanted Goody out for being stubborn, playing favourites and not changing playing styles are in for an even rougher time with Bucks
