love him.

I remember him taking strong grabs, and knocking the stuffing out of players at the contest. I liked him. Still do. He's a hungry young man.

so no eight you're saying?

I've been doing that for a couple of months now. TV on at first bounce, TV off when final siren sounds (or at an earlier time of my choosing when I deem us shite enough). Great way to balance the passion and reality. Everything is BS. All that matters is the win.

Brendan Bolton to go missing and get lost in the ice pool.

what are the doubts on brayshaw?

So true. It happened week in and week out. I used to tell my little boys one day we will be like the good team and kick easy goals like they do and lots of them.. For years I told them this. The last five weeks have been a joy.

Leave it be. I bagged the bejesus out of Goodwin. So what. I love him now. The guys a genius.

Why would anyone do that?

6 foot 7 inches tall. 17 years old. State footballer at 15. State basketballer at 16 and 17. A son of successful pros. Lifelong Dee fan. For nothing? Huge get.

as was lewis.

My views on Goodwin are unaltered. He is admirably and luckily bluffing his way through. He is consistent only at inconsistency. Results this weekend will prove this. When we lose, its always in the same manner. Over the top, out the back, Lever and McDonald looking stupid, inept forward entries to outmanned contests, exhausted from attack, and no energy and or structure to defend. Week in week out. This suggests he is not learning. Just occupying, collecting a cheque, satisfying and fulfilling an ego and desire to one day be the coach of an AFL footy side. Thus, it will be a loss this week and Goodwin, since taking over will have coached us to 16 wins and 16 losses. In 5 weeks time the Jesse Hogan is returning to WA bandwagon will start rolling. For make no mistake, if we are not at least two games above .500 in 5 weeks time then it will be obvious to all, pundits, Jackson, Bartlett, the board, that Goodwin is not cut out for it. So, Goodwin's future head coaching career will be determined by mid jun. And so it should be. He should be very worried.

love it.

correct wolfgang. goodwin is a #$%#@!@# idiot.

Has been happening for about 5/6 years now this brain dead defending.

What about the the coaching Joeboy? Three word analysis for that? The players are only following instructions.

This is true and I am honestly happy for the bloke. He was treated like poo by Goodwin. Did not deserve it. I think we are missing his class on the field. We are missing his composure and decision making. We are missing his presence in the locker room. Such a shame. A more experienced coach and he'd still be a dee. We have a second year teacher as principal of a school. Disaster.

So true. Sure thing, Goody and his staff will have it all rectified by the end of May. September, October, November, December, January, February, March, April and all of May. That's ten months and Goodwin also had April, May, June, July and August to 'explain' or 'show' our players what their roles are. Goodwin got lucky. Said the right things in an interview, presented well, adept at powerpoint presentations, still in shape. He fooled them. Nothing special at all. He has won 15 and lost 15.

Tend to agree. Our coaching staff are letting us down. We are in a bad way. Many of the glass half full types on here are admirably saying the right things, staying positive, finding the positives in our losses, remaining level headed with sophisticated, thoughtful, level-headed posts. They are in denial. Terrified beyond belief that the half-glass empty types might have it right. Terrified to admit what they know to be true. We seriously have a flawed game plan for our personnel. Our 'elite' coaching team are getting this wrong. Not the players.

Thank you. I'm a good judge of character. Saying it twice, and all in one line. Keeping it simple for you.

BS. Disagree with everything you say.

Coaching staff: GET. THE. [censored]. OUT. YOU. HOPELESS. [censored]. PRETENDERS. And take all your cliched, [censored], boring arse [censored] comments with. Shut the [censored] up and say nothing to us the fan base. Say absolutely jack [censored] and [censored] off. And stop [censored] up the development of our footballers.

We are [censored]. Because Goodwin is [censored]. There will be no righting this ship. He has to go. [censored] him back off to Adelaide as quick as we can. I am so afraid, and am certain it will happen, that stubbornly the club will continue to back him in to save their face. Meanwhile we will struggle. Our A grade talent will become disillusioned and leave the club. This will all happen. [censored] him off now. In fact [censored] all the coaches off. I'm not blaming the players anymore. It has to be the coaching and instruction.

hang on. Last week Goodwin said Viney and TMAC 4-6 weeks away. Mahony today 'within 3 weeks'. Its all falling apart.

Its gonna be a roller coaster all year. Always was. Possibly just a descent unless Goodwin gets his shid together, pulls his finger out of his arse, and works the bloody hell out to defend. I know absolutely jack [censored] about football in the scheme of things, but I could confidently instruct any group of human beings on the fundamental skills, and mindset required to play footy in wet conditions. [censored] embarrassing to be honest. Harmes in the ruck was the stupidest game day coaching decision Ive ever seen. He is under pressure this week Goody. He babbled out some classic, textbook, loser, Brendan Bolton type BS about 'the beauty of football provides another challenge the next week yada yada yada blah blah [censored] blah' . I don't want to hear him carrying on about any 'beauty' after that coaching performance; from selection to strategy and game day decision making. He has had a shocker.
