Any chance we sack Goodwin before next year. I was happy to give the benefit of the doubt after last year but this does it for me, need to throw everything at Clarkson

Because we are a side show and everyone other than Melbourne supporters sees it

What’s the point we won’t be winning against anyone else in

If Harmes, Brayshaw and Jones are out what other general mids do we have to come in. AVB is the only one I can think of?

in Hibberd, Pickett, Bennell, baker out McDonald, anb, Wagner, Smith Goodwin seriously needs to get it in his head that not every player has to be a body on the line head over the ball, we need skilful players to who can spot and hit targets, while it would be good if players could be both we need to make some compromises and fine a balance

One has to question why we just bombed the ball fwd for the whole first half, completely headless stuff we reverted back to what we were doing at the start of the year. Why would they do that makes absolutely zero sense but seemed to be a conscious decision.

Also requires you to use your brain and play the conditions

One assist to papley

Looks windy trac just said it’s going to one end

Hurts us, basically guarantees pies a spot in the 8 if they win 1 more. One less spot up for grabs by those fighting to get in Just to add Expect in 2 weeks, dees gws and saints will all be on 9 wins with only % separating us. With one sitting 9th

Fritsch, Bedford and Hunt/Jetta in Picket, Hannan and Hibberd (managed) out I don’t like Wagner ball in hand I just don’t trust him, but probably did enough to earn another game

Not with the dogs loss last night, we still have a game in hand, they have a bye next week and we play swans, in all likelihood we will be in the 8 at the conclusion of round 15 win or loose today

They still have played one more game than us and we have the superior % so long as we win as many games as they do we still finish ahead of them

Tmac and harmes aren’t in the best 22 right now and sparrow is about as fringe as you can get. I think Brown for tmac would be an upgrade from what tmac has shown

Good news is we are winning despite being way off our best, if we can get through the next qtr without being to far down then we should get them in the last with the wind and out superior fitness, think we have only lost one last qtr all year

Looks quite windy dees need to take that into account when kicking not try to pin point a target, run and carry would be my suggestion

The big thing hogan offered besides goals and which none of our current key fwds offer was his up field play, he had a great tank and was arguably more valuable playing as a link player on the wing who could go fwd and create a mismatch. I feel he could play in a team which already has Weid and Jackson, probably taking Melksham or Tomlinsons spot

English likes to drift fwd to create a miss match , something to keep an eye on The main area exposed last week v Grundy was the pies ease at getting it out of the centre clearance, if Preuss can halve that this week we should be fine

Given Polec comes with a large contract over his head and can’t get a game, I wouldn’t be giving north anything back unless they paid some of that, even if they did a late 2nd round is more than enough

Issue is this game is the very definition of a 8 point game, loose this and dogs take our place in the 8, then we have to wait till they or someone else slips up. No point saving Gawn if we don’t play finals

I'd like to know what he thinks has changed since 2018 and how this years team has improved to hopefully take the next step

Seems like he also finally stopped taking his man to the same contest as Weid, if he only does one thing right for the rest of the year it should be to take his man away from Weid into space.

Even as a hypothetical I can’t see it even if we won every game from here on out. None of the top 4 play each other so who will they drop games to

2 spots left in the 8 imo pies and gws, if we loose tomorrow pies go 10 points clear of us and effectively tie a spot up. Not too worried about the ins and outs but I would say on balance I’d rather be in our position than theres list wise right now. If we are real contender just to make the 8 a win tomorrow is a must.

Tmac now stays in playing the same role as last week, Maybe they can bring smith in to play fwd and relief ruck in place of Jackson? Or if Gawn is fit have him play fwd
