We wait another 48 hours And then another 96 days for Joe Daniher.

Petty dropped after 1 game. Corey Maynard. Just from memory. And now Luke Jackson. I don't think there is any 2 game directive, and each player has earnt their 2nd. Even Keilty earnt his.

He's Dunn a Roosy?

Goodwin reliving his Tony Modra glory days vicariously through Fritta.

Can Vander's wrestle? Maybe throw him in the goal square if all else fails forward.?

There's no point harping on about an arbitrary percentage of astute observers. Only to say that you fail to take into account that DL is already a very niche small percentage of a larger group of demon fans that don't spend much time discussing and dissecting our matches, list management and coaching on a forum. Edit: So I think most people on here have to have some level of astuteness to spend their time on a niche forum reading and discussing these topics. There are very few people right now that are in the extreme category of thinking Goodwin needs to be sacked immediately. Almost all are in the wait and see how the next year or two pans out as we await how Goodys tactical changes play out on field, how the group adapts to challenges etc Tbh the 3% figure you threw out seemed like an attempt to pump yourself up and put the rest of the forum down, but it seems it was just a marketing theory. I don't want to derail the discussion however, so I'll leave it at that.

3%? It's common knowledge that our chaos ball and poor i50 conversions required a need to slow down and assess for the best option. And it's what we were working on towards the end of last year and in preseason to rectify. And it will all improve the more we gel. It's all everyone on here talks about. Give the forum more credit!

It's a sci-fi footy novel that chronicles the journey of a young Paul Roos repaired Droid named Goody3000 on his journey to self awareness and mastery of a local sport on a planet in the Goldilocks zone of a star system in the milky way galaxy.

You must've passed out at quarter time too ?

Adel - Tom Lynch link up role? we've really missed any roaming 50m leads and marks on the wing. I can't even recall TMac taking a grab on wing.

Could be a pointer that Frost was only traded because of contract demands and our club simply not being willing to use up cap space, rather than having an illuminated moment that we're too dumb in defense.

It's the 'slam it forward to the hotspot so often you can't lose' strategy applied to the time scale. IE Belt em so hard in the first quarter that they can't come back, or if they do, we'll have reserve energy to lift in the last few mins. Sophisticated stuff. Hasn't worked for Collingwood yet though.

I reckon id prefer to just read @titan_uranus do a full write up of all 94 mins than to watch it on telly live.

I don't want to start a thread, but this question is for those who have heard all our players talk and watched them play. Which players, and how many of our players possess a good tactical knowledge of the game? Of structures? That know where we're breaking down mid quarter and communicate it to the more inexperienced? They don't have to be Luke Hodge on ch7 explaining everything that's going on, as he has an elite understanding. But something approaching that kind of logical way of thinking. Do we have a dearth of these types?

Credit where credits due then. I personally was more of mid 2019 "We can trade him for Brad Hill" typa guy. And the usual fools scoffed at it.

15 more rounds of this and we'll see.

You're assuming it was a wasted lockdown role and that Harmes could've nullified Cripps though. Maybe Cripps gets off the chain on Harmes in the first quarter, it's closer at QTR time AND then he dominates up forward when it's too late and we move Oliver onto him. We don't win by 6-8 goals, we lose. Oliver beating him in the first half is a win.

And as ruthless an attitude it is to have the premiership or bust attitude, I value those memories of going to the footy and enjoying our Daniher coached teams that ultimately fell short. Club has to make a move on a coach at some point. My only point is that failure in both 2020 and 2021 to save on a big payout, is far less palatable than just taking a risk on a new coach and turn around that brings a financial winfall along with it. We all want to see on field improvement, maybe it will only come with a new coach.

Where in the rulebook does it say a sacking of a coach sets you back a number of years? How did the Saints go after they sacked Grant Thomas? Freo after Mark Harvey? Ever heard of the sunk cost fallacy? Sometimes a coach can only take you so far.

But Corey Maynard realized it wasn't for him and retired off the back of his demolition by Selwood, and Petty came back stronger as a forward. Is it that necessary to play a man down again or have more structural imbalance in defence, just for their individual morale? It could get worse.

If you can't handle how Clint rolls, harden up or go home!

I liked that even when Neitz had his off days where he couldn't clunk a thing, he'd still halve every contest and hit a pack with ferocity. TMAC needs to in the least, be that imposing if he's not taking them. @GCDee a TMac mentor at least, get him down there a few days a month!

I'm of the same opinion, if things don't change. We simply cannot risk missing finals in 2021 by sticking with him and writing the year off and having to do a mid season sacking anyway. A 2 year payout would be hard to take, but bouncing back with a new coach would invigorate the fans (Roosurrection days) and a fresh new style might see us bring in more people to the games, and making a surprise finals surge would reap profits that would make a payout palatable. A big 15 games ahead.

After all pick swaps, it equated to a pick 10. I'd take Lever for 10. That was the whole point in 17', we needed proven defenders, not a speculative kid

Someone should've told TMac to stop taking a knee after the game begun
