Can't say I know too much about this thread but has the option of sharing a schools ground and facilities an option or been talked about? A private school would have a decent setup and could be mutually beneficial.

Ideally we want someone who's re-invented a list to challenge again quickly and Longmire is that guy. Bucks sounds keen but not totally sold on his record. Originally I wanted an assistant as it's in fashion and done well recently. Now logically Longmire definitely first for me but have my doubts he wants it. If not then I'm happy to back in whoever we get.

I'm not sure about others but my gut feels both Oliver and Trac would prefer to go and would likely say that at exit interview or before. The conversations and decisions perhaps have already even been made. No reason to hardball them again and it's best for all to move seperate ways. Can't be healthy having them around the club with everyone knowing they want out. If we can get someone to pay half of Oliver's wage then he probably goes for close to nothing but we just have to move on from him for both on and off field reasons.

I'm happy and surprised the clubs finally shown some balls and made the decision this early. Now we get the first crack at available potential replacements. Thanks Simon. You gave me the best Dees years of my life. It's just time for change.

Rule is no more than 12 AFL games and no less than 6 VFL games for the season. So everyone at the moment is eligible you mentioned but Spargo has played 10 and if plays last 3 in AFL then he is the only one who could be ineligible.

Yeah his inside 50 was the highlight of that quarter.

Typical Dees. When dominant can not put up a score that reflects it. Should be 40 point up.

From my experience with boards. They are fairly clueless to what is really going in. They get told what they want to hear from 1 or 2 people who are just trying to make themselves look good and putting them first over the organisation. I've seen a big organisation go from well run and fantastic moral to the complete opposite and it took the board 3 years to figure out something is not right. The problem they had was getting their information from too little amount of people, all on the same level of the organisation. There has to be fluidity from top to bottom. Everyone from the players to the ceo should be able to get their thoughts across to the board or anyone to anyone else. No role should be solely placed with one individual. Especially when it comes to player acquisitions as it's very much a personal evaluation. I'm not a fan of seperated line coaches. Each coach should be on the same wavelength and the team coached as a team. Sure do some sessions divided up but at the moment it's like 3 different teams coming together on gameday. Basically what I'm saying is I hope they are looking into the system of communication within the club and making sure the board gets every but if information at every meeting. Our player acquisitions are looked at and discussed with as many minds as possible. Even the review was done by one person which I find extremely unprofessional from the club.

Definitely agree we likely get a 2nd at best I'm someone wants him. These long contracts are killing us and didn't learn from it signing Pickett on one.

Highly doubt Cats have changed stance that much. If anything his contract looks better with a year off it.

This just proves more that Hawks kept making moves and identified earlier to move players on to get to the right spot. Yes probably likely we won't get like for like output but it opens doors for cap space or picks and better contracts vs output and change is probably best for both parties.

We know Geelong are likely still keen and probably Clarry too. I'd be hopeful of a first rounder but considering Geelong got Bowes and a first for nothing I'm not too sure where the Oliver situation sits. Guess it comes down to how much salary both sides pay or if it's even possible Clarry can sign a contract taking less to move.

He won't sign. He's going.

I'd let Clarry go. Think it's best for him to get a fresh start plus I don't feel it's best for the team to have him around. I don't care if we pay half his wages elsewhere. Trac, if he asks again then he can go. No point having anyone who doesn't really want to be there stay. I'd let Viney go. The rest depends on what we get in return.

It starts with the coach to get the best out of the players. If the whole teams form has dipped that is on on Goody first.

Of course we can sack Goodwin. We sacked Neeld with 18 months to go and paid him. Jackson said the poor performance on-field was costing us a lot financially.

On that last Saints kick, I haven't exactly analysed it but how hard can it be to defend with 20-21 players and 8 seconds left. Just defend any space within kicking distance from a mark. How the hell was there so much space for Milera. Man on man was not the way to go with 20 defenders inside 50.

Anyone not 100% committed to club should go including Trac.

I think it comes down to a vote of the board. I think interim still means you do your job and not spin around on the office chair all day. I would hope so anyway. Neeld was sacked at a Friday board meeting and told 8am on Monday. There's an article titled "Neeld sacked" on AFL website if search for it and it's a good little read on what Jackson had to say at the time.

You could easily argue he was winning the race for the ball the way it was bouncing, but then it bounced towards Evans at last possible moment giving May no time to think how to react.

Don't know why there's an argument about culture over one players one interview. Yes, couldn't be happier to have Turner on board and was very nice of Lamb and Richardson. There's 40ish players and more than 2 staff so forming conclusions off this is a bit of a reach. If Adams and Howes come in next year as best 22 and May and Lever are still here I wonder if there's room for everyone and if so who plays forward.

They all have re-invented themselves to remain competitive and a chance of a flag most seasons. We after the flag went backwards a bit, then backwards a lot with no real sign in sight of reversal because we don't adapt and change like those you mentioned.

95% of list has gone backwards this year. How many years of forward line problems is it now? No reward for effort for Casey players. If someone is dropped they are back after a week despite how they play at Casey. Culture seems non-existent and on decline since GF win. Inability to integrate any Players acquired from other clubs. Inability to implement a new game plan that works straight away or at all. Thanks so much for the Premiership but it's time Goody.

I'll be able to work out out his height from any footage as long as it has his shadow and what the exact time was.
