At the break of Gawn

Petty's efforts to not be out marked has been pretty awesome. His move forward has actually worked very well for Melbourne

Pretty confident with my by Freo 40+ bet. Don't think I've ever really bet against us, but here we are.

Lots of despair on X tonight from North supporters. I know our season is [censored] but thank God we had some recent success.

Surely we have someone better than Howes? Absolute panic merchant with the ball.

Melb the odd one out of those sides from 1-4.

Pretty sure I read on here once that his Dad openly said at a BnF that they were a "Collingwood family". His older brother (not the player manager) also ran through a Collingwood banner at his own wedding reception, so there's also that...

Brendan Lade is their midfield and most experienced assistant coach. He's highly regarded and often been sounded out for a main coaching position. I'm not saying go get him, but since he's joined, the Dogs have re-captured their midfield brilliance.

https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bnd8FExjY/ This is quite interesting that Gawn and Petracca not on the same page. I assume this was at half time?

Bevo is just a more charismatic version of Goodwin. He's a people leader but he's not a strategist. Bevo, like Goodwin , heavily relies on the brains (assistants) behind the game plan. McRae is the same. Personally I think we should go with Longmire. Before last year's Grand final he was in clear 2nd place as the best coach around. He's made 5 grand finals and one of the best win/loss ratio in the modern game. I'm genuinely baffled why some aren't considering him. I'd take 5 grand finals over a 13 year period any day.

Derm's comments about that it "looks like the players run the club" is starting to ring really true for me. Every time I hear about the review, it seems like most of the changes made were to appease the players rather than the benefit of the club. We've heard about players choosing when to come in to the club to give them total flexibility, we've seen the training schedule change, which seems to be impacting our fitness. I wonder if Goodwin is too close to the players to actually draw the line here.

You do realize that Richmond players have done the same and their club gave them even more than what we did.?

I haven't seen Goody that emotional and fragile in a presser since some of our straight set finals losses. He looks a bit broken and clinging on a hope that things will just turn. I really can't see him surviving if we lose the next two weeks. I actually wouldn't be surprised if he resigned and then they did a farewell game for him. Bit like what Collingwood did with Buckley

Who played on Menzie? Was it Windsor?

Another cooked last qtr. I wonder how long they're going to persist with most idiotic training schedule of Main training, then Captain's run the next day and then game day without a break in between. God only knows why they haven't reverted to how it used to be before this season.
