    Gee's,I hope your right GW,otherwise the old egg on your face trick.id be more worried about Rivers,JVR,Woey and Bill Laurie not getting a opportunity.anyway well just have to wait and see

    Rivers ans JVR are both contracted.

    Woey and Laurie are fringes and would be no loss whatsoever. For some unknown reason Goodwin clearly doesnt rate Laurie. I think Woewodin is most likely a delisted at the end of the year.

    The hope for their own sake is they get opportunities elsewhere, but i highly doubt it.

    No what I’m getting at is. If only 1 play or 2 players are omitted on a Thursday for a Sunday. Only 1 or 2 can be bought in. Excluding late outs.

    So when Sharp was the only player omitted. We could only choose one from the squad named.

    Yeah nah.

    Last night West Coast initially omitted 3 players last night in Tim Kelly, Bo Allan and Sandy Brock.

    As of 5pm tonight after teams were finalised they omitted a fourth player in Jack Williams who was already named on the extended bench. So they ended up dropping an extra player after initial making the three omissions last night. This literally goes against your argument.

    My point is you can make as many changes you want from your extended bench on Sunday games. Just because one player gets omitted doesn't mean you can't make further omissions. Teams dont fully get finalised until friday afternoon.

    Wrong.

    They have to name who’s omitted on the Thursday for a Sunday game.

    No they dont...

    They can still omit players from the extended bench when the final teams get released on a 5pm Friday.

    This has been a thing for many years.. how have you not picked up on this?

    If anyone says that a certain coach is 'great to have a beer with' as their main strength then I'm out.

    The game has never been more demanding on senior coaches and you need to be a high football IQ literally dreaming of tactics and gameplans at night. The 'good bloke' coach sucks and doesn't win flags, Bob Davis as great a man as he was wouldn't last two seconds today. I would prefer to have a rocket scientist who lives in the basement studying tape all day than the guy who stays with the guys at the pub for another few rounds.

    And I'm not saying that Goodwin is like the above or is soft. Up until the flag I've mostly thought he was reasonably balanced eg firm in his believe of what he was trying to achieve with his system/culture while still maintaining good rapport with players.

    This year however, all we've heard of is the rapport and connection side of things and players loving and supporting him despite repeatedly coming out in first quarters putting up meek efforts.

    You are 100% spot on Laze..

    I tend to go back to when he was happy to show the door for Jack Watts and Jesse Hogan for instance but yet had a different stance on the likes of Petracca, Oliver and Petty.

    Back then I think we actually respected his willingness to change the club culture as both Hogan and Watts were much loved players within the playing group and supporters. We had opportunities to reshape our list with the likes of Oliver and Petty trade for instance but that didn't eventuate

    My feel is that hes gotten way too comfortable with the players and that in itself can be a messy line to cross.

    Jefferson can’t be omitted now.

    They already nominated who was dropped it was Sharp.

    He can still be omitted, final team selections aren't made official until 5pm today.

    Blake Howes or Caleb Windsor would be one of the ins for Sharp and then weather they decide to make any more changes from there then who knows.

    Well, it got us a bit more than that. Er, it got us a flag, remember? Which is more than Kingsley has achieved.

    "Love" didn't buy us a flag mate. A well structured and disciplined team was what got us a flag.

    And this whole 'oh but but we won a flag!' Commentary just needs to simply stop. Stop living in the past.

    Not only was that 4 years ago that happened, but we have achieved absolutely nothing since. There have been changes to our playing list, football department and opposition teams have easily worked us out.

    The game has completely changed and shifted away from the contested bull at the gate style which made us so successful back in 2021 and our contested mids have been exposed because of it.

    Not a chance in hell it happens. I agree Goodwin may be better suited to the role but having a new coach come in with the old coach looking over his shoulder? Who would want that situation?

    I'm surprised Richardson has lasted this long, one of Perts mates who should've gone at the end of last year.

    Well said.

    Dont care if the players love the coach. Sick to death of this whole "love" narrative thats been driven by the coach all season.

    All love has gotten us is two bottom 5 finishes in the last two years.

    Get a coach like Adam Kingsley who has a good balance of having a good rapport with the players but also a hard [censored] who isn't afraid to pull players into line.

    Hang on. I thought the inside line was the signed and the reporting was just delayed?

    I hope we are not being held ransom by him or his management.

    This.

    Was said on here that announcement was meant to occur two weeks ago? Most reports state that he is not way near close to signing a new deal.

    Silly statement.

    Aside from the fact that we have a number if players we need to build our side around (Turner, Lindsay and Langford) come to mind, a culture of entertaining trades for everyone is a great way to destabilise the club.

    We have some players to make trading decisions on, for sure, but that list should only have 3-4 names on it.

    Yet the same big name players are destabilising the club on field and through that its costing us in a drop in memberships and lack of on field success.

    Im not in the boat of every player should be put up for trade but the following players need to be seriously discussed for trade at the end of the year: Lever, Salem, Fritsch, Oliver, Spargo, Sparrow. All of them haven't played a decent game since 2022-2023.

    Now history will say that its a rarity that clubs will just trade out 6 players all in the one go, but we would be absolutely silly if these names aren't seriously brought up as trade discussions for draft or trade capital.

    If its true that Lever felt blindsided and angry because he felt disrespected at the fact he was even drop then see ya later Jake.

    Your form has been absolute poor since 2022 and as a leader hes been sub par.

    Turner has taken his spot anyhow, the guy is a dead set liability as his body is cooked big time.

    Similar trajectory to Nibbler I reckon, if I remember correctly he (Nibbler) was in and out for a few years before he finally found his niche and if we are being honest at times looked like he wasn’t going to make it.

    Don’t believe Kolt’s had a full pre- season yet either. Maybe won’t be an ‘A-grader’, but strikes me as sometime who will play his role week in week out when he finds his groove.

    Difference with Nibbler though is that he use to consistently dominate at Casey racking up big numbers. Everyone could see that ANB had the talent, just needed the opportunity.

    Even at VFL level Tholstrup has struggled this year and no way dominated to deserve a call up. I haven't seen anything at VFL levelto suggest he'll be a solid 200 game player at the elite level.

    He'll need to not only have a attitude adjustment over the off season but also come back looking trimmed and fit.

    Really sick of losing. This is a results industry and yeah, we may not be as experienced as yesteryears and carry a lot of young talent, but no one can say we didn’t have chances to potentially play finals. The same mistakes and lack of ability to close out matches has been costly.

    This game went begging, as did Collingwood, GWS, St Kilda, Hawthorn and Port Adelaide . We really should be at 9-10 wins and giving our ourselves a serious chance with North, St Kilda, Carlton and West Coast to come.

    Such a frustrating nearly season as simply playing finals would propel and give experience to the likes of Langford and Lindsay into a greater sphere in 2026.

    Yeah I understand. Its the honourable losses thing i hate.

    To be completely honest, i've lost all interest in the club this year. Im just half expecting these kind of losses now with the inaccuracy and the same usual suspects on high money dishing up the same sub par performances each and every week.

    Another year wasted and no finals appearance/wins in September. We dont stand for anything as a club and yet still no closer to knowing what's happening with our home base.

    I'll continue to check results here and there watch it when I can but the emotional attachment of my team losing is not there anymore. I just shrug the shoulders and move on.

    Taking my 5 year old to his first AFL game next week and will make sure he has the greatest experience he can. Gotta somehow keep the spirits up for the next generation of supporters coming through.
