WERRIDEE

We should go in with a bit of optimism after getting a draw against Norf. Gold Coast usually field a very strong VFL team so they will be hard to beat. The Casey players that I was really impressed with were Bonner who had it over 30 times, Baldi who led by example and youngster Kirkwood-Scott. The Melbourne listed players I was impressed with were Campbell, Langford and Hore. Possible team. B: Smith, Adams, Bonner HB: Howes, McDonald, Bowey C: Billings, Laurie, K.Windsor HF: Kirkwood-Scott, Fullerton, Brown F: Yze, Melksham, Lewis FOLL: Verrall, Woewodin, Baldi IC: Sestan, Cross, Lual, Mentha, Craven

That's one quality player we can get and it wouldn't surprise me if we done a salary cap dump on Oliver.

Goodwin and Chaplin should go. Jones\Radford and Bassett are safe. Lets look at the list shall we May - Stays van Rooyen - Stays Salem - trade him to Richmond where they need experince. McVee - Stays Petracca - Stays but if he wants to go he can go. Windsor - Stays Viney - Stays Lever - Stays Spargo - goes if he does stay I don't have any problems with it. Turner - Stays Gawn - Stays Tholstup - Stays Oliver - Personally I think he goes but if he stays I'm fine with it. Billings - Goes Langdon - Stays Laurie - I think he's contracted but he goes IMO trade him for nothing he was a top 20 pick. Bowey - Goes in a trade someone will take him. Melksham - Goes Retires Langford - Stays Lindsay - Stays Jefferson - Stays Howes - Goes delist McAdam - Retire if you know what's good for you Rivers - Stays McDonald - Goes Retires Adams - Stays Hore - Delist Verrall - Delist or stays don't care. Campbell - Stays Sharp - Stays Fritsch - Stays but I'd be shopping him around. Sparrow - Stays Fullerton - Delist Petty - Stays Pickett - Stays but if he wants to go go Chandler - Stays Sestan - Delist Mentha - Stays Woewodin - Delist Brown - Delist Johnson -Stays Henderson - Stays Kentfield - Delist Moniz-Wakefield - Stays Culley - Stays for now have to see more of him. That's 16 players out of the club not including. The 5 possibles. Changes will be made to the list as well as the coaching staff.

I beg to differ. We still haven't replaced Brayshaw who was on good coin.

He come back through the 2's with his interrupted summer.

I forecast 6 changes this week Out: McDonald, Howes, Bowey, Woewodin, Jefferson (inj), Lever (inj) In: May, Windsor, Langford, Hore, Johnson, Campbell B: Hore, May, Rivers HB: Salem, Petty, Windsor C: Langdon, Petracca, Lindsay HF: Chandler, Johnson, Sparrow F: Fritsch, van Rooyen, Spargo FOLL: Gawn, Oliver, Viney IC: Campbell, Sharp, Langford, Henderson SUB: Turner

Why is it on one or the other? Why can't it be both? If the message isn't getting across to the players maybe the coaches should find a job. It will be on the players now. Woewodin and Howes had enough chances to hold a spot in the team haven't done it. McDonald time to retire won't be around next year. Bowey could be finding another home at the end of the year. They are 4 players that should be dropped and there maybe more.

That hurts again. Lucky for you I have posted my worst 22 coaches. B: Neeld, Neeld, Neeld HB: Neeld, Neeld, Neeld C: Bailey, Bailey, Bailey HF: Chaplin, Chaplin, Chaplin F: Chaplin, Chaplin, Chaplin FOLL: Bailey, Bailey, Bailey IC: Stafford, Stafford, Stafford, Stafford SUB: Stafford

I've had it with Clayton he does nothing with ball. I left him out of the team to make a statement. Langford in the middle for mine because Langdon has been disappointing for a while now. We just have no one playing the football that we know they can play.

Carlton and Freo.

I'm hurt by that comment. I'm sure demonlanders only come on here to see my best 22's

A little bit of column a and column b. In other words Chaplin has his say but Goodwin would have the final say.

Been blammed

Nice joke

rubbish

He like Petty isn't a forward and he is suffering because it especially when you consider Howes gets a game down back talk about a player that won't make it. He and Laurie have showed nothing and I'm losing patience with Bowey and Woewodin.

Ben King is an absolute star. Max hasn't come on unfortunately I think he will show it against us on the weekend especially if May doesn't play. Ridiculous to say this is make or break for Jefferson he has at least to 2027 to find his feet.

The boot studder is a disgrace couldn't get the grass out of their stops.

We haven't got rid of all our assistants we still have Chaplin. I wonder if Horse could get Stevie J to coach our forward line. Ex Sydney assistant.

Yes I do. I think he could reinvigorate the whole side, including the one's that are disillusioned with the club and only stayed because of Goodwin like Clarry, Kossie and Trac.

Nah just Chaplin. Jones and Bassett are safe because they are new and at least they played the position they are coaching. I'm old skool the coach has to play that position to coach it for some reason it has changed and I don't like it.

You have to be kidding he was a disaster at Brisbane. Like Voss and Brad Scott they won't learn from their mistakes. Personally I would hold onto Goodwin if there wasn't a suitable candidate like Longmire. A reject coach or a new coach wouldn't be suitable for us. A coach that has been there done that is what we should be after like Longmire and what Norf did with Clarkson.

Leppitsch started as a forward but I don't know who Davis is. My honest opinion on coaches is most of them aren't worth a pinch of salt. It's the players, but you can't sack 18 players for woeful performances like the one against Norf but you can sack the one coach. Saying that Mitchell has got Hawthorn performing I don't think they have a better list than us but they are playing a whole lot better than us. I'm not saying Goodwin is a bad coach I'm saying coaches have time limits and he has got the best out of us he won a premiership, but like Clarkson and Longmire he can no longer get the best out of us. Change is inevitable I just hope we don't hold on to him and let slip a perfect candidate in Longmire.

Why on earth is he the forwards coach? Never played forward in his life. I can't believe we can't find a forwards coach that played as a forward. He will end Goodwin's career, no wonder Fritsch, Turner and van Rooyen look clueless out there you can't teach something you have never experienced.

I'm prepared to see Clarry go. I think he's peaked and will never get back to his best from a couple of years ago. Kossie I would like to keep but if his hearts not in it he can go. We can't afford to keep players that don't want to be there. Why wouldn't they want to play under Longmire one of the most repected coaches in the comp?
