We cannot draft again from WA
Natanui was seen as a bit of a flight risk. Bit couple that with our off field mess and horrific culture at the time then absolutely no doubt he would have done a runner once soon enough.

2022 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
He's the one I want with our 2nd pick and have voiced this before. His ability to go into the ruck using his leap is appealing I would think in terms of Goody liking players with versatility. He's a lead up CHF who is a one touch grab and his work rate is what stands out the most. Seriously hoping he's still there and we don't hesitate calling his name out.

Dynamic Ruck Duo Max & Brodie
It's a strange concept to be taking inspiration from a a club that was ranked 18th for ruck combination this year.. Not only that, Blicavs is incredibly versatile that he can play in all range of positions including as a midfielder target as we saw this year, whereas Grundy and Gawn are both pure ruckman. As @Lucifers Hero said, I hope we do have some better ideas floating around.

Reading this confirms that it's just guess work by SEN and not from a credible source.

That's an absolute cop out of an excuse. So then what's the point of having fit reserves/depth players right there ready to go if we're not going to bother playing them for injured players? It's utter stupidity and arrogance by Goodwin and glad he got found out for it. Geelong rested and managed their stars throughout the year such as Selwood and Danger and brought in depth players to cover them. The players they brought in to replace obviously weren't up to the calibre but they were solid enough to play a role. Why couldn't do that with Langdon? We arrogantly didn't rest players when the opportunity presented itself against West Coast and North Melbourne. We took Lever and Gawn up to the West Coast game after Gawn had hurt his knee the previous week and Lever rolled an ankle. Again, stupidity to play them when they should have just stayed back in Melbourne and rested. Or playing Salem round 1 with his knee completely bandaged up after coming back from a serious knee injury. Bloke last 5 minutes from a normal style tackle. Goody can't be pulling this [censored] again next year.

Hoping Goodwin has a huge mindset change over the summer because arrogantly rolling with the same 22 each week and with the same bland game plan cost us in the end. Us fans could see what was unfolding as the year went on and so did majority of the footy public. Yet, our coaching staff showed not a hint of plan B. Sticking with the same guys each week, who some were badly out of form, sent a complete and utter wrong message to the blokes doing the hard yards at VFL level. Clubs worked us out easily in the 2nd half of the year with our slow ball movement and our consistency of kicking it deep into the pockets. This is what worries me when we make no changes within our assistant coaches. I was a Stafford fan previously but surprised he survived another year. If we're rolling with the same forward entries come round 1 then we aren't winning it in 2023.

Will be interesting to see where he'll be trained up during the pre season group. Midfield group?

Lost count how many times he had a knack of just kicking the ball out on the full on so many occasions when he got moved into the midfield. Was infuriating.

Petracca in the Lab
Some footballers are just born to be great and are never satisfied with where their career are at despite his accolades so far. Looks ridiculously fit.

Michael Hibberd & Jake Melksham - 1 Year Extensions
In fairness to Hibberd, he gave Cameron a decent touch up in both home and away games during the year. Unfortunately Hibberd like many others during that Brisbane final, were poor and badly exposed.

Welcome to Demonland Pick 37
Sooo you agree with me right? I mean, I did just say he was one of the worst coaches I've seen in my time supporting AFL?
