Unqualified opinion

It’s a free kick if you actually collect him. FMD

Won’t be tonight unfortunately- Gils in the crowd

Cheats. He has made several saints favourable calls already tonight. Blatant corruption

If the ump saw it why wasn’t another free given?

[censored] me dead these non calls against the saints are amazing

Saints can just walk around off the line of the mark with no play on call [censored] these maggots

Since when can you change directions over the boundary line. [censored] maggots are having a mare weekend

The umpires??

Umpires.... ?‍♂️. The new rule is good in that the player didn’t move, but how is Tmac 3 metres wide of the man on the mark without being called play on?

Rivers looks a cut above for a second year player. Will be a gun

What a goal. Langdon checkside special

The umpiring hasn’t improved during the offseason

As a Spurs fan in the EPL I also frequent the thefightingcock forum to have a read of the comments from the fans to understand what others see and hopefully get a greater understanding of how the team is playing and what needs to change. The main difference is the censoring of swear words, or lack thereof. But apart from that the sentiments are mostly the same: The coach can’t coach, Sack the coach etc. etc. The tactics both Mourinho and Goodwin have employed have now been worked out and are being countered by opposition sides. They both worked like a dream beforehand (Dees in 2018 and Spurs were top of the league pre Xmas). But now both look like one trick ponies with no plan b. It’s interesting reading the post game threads that are now toying with whether it’s tactics or players ability to perform their role. Comment suggests tactics doesn’t make a player pass like [censored] but other comments suggest no confidence in the game plan is effecting the players ability to perform at elite levels. Pep has the benefit of the best players with uber elite ability. I’ve heard his players speak of Pep as though he is always thinking ahead and is at the forefront of the tactics and gameplay in the world game. I believe both player and coach have trust in one another. Im not so sure that Goodwin truly trusts the players nor has the ability to change the game plan to suit the team he has. Go Dees / Go Coys

So is the fixture real??? is the AFL planning on turning the fixture on its head again? Just waiting for a couple of COVID cases and boom.....Dees hub in Cairns for 3 months If it seems to good to be true it probably is!!!

Is this thread another way of asking how Goodwin keeps his job? If so, then I think we can only assess after the season given extenuating factors can cause unforeseen results. If we have an injury run like this year (lack thereof), then top 8 has to be the pass mark as Bartlett has already stated. If COVID is alive and we are in another part of the country for extended periods, then it will be game style and ‘brand’ and whether we see another port loss. If we lose key players (Gawn, May, Oliver, Trac, Brown) to season long injuries early, then again the ‘brand’ will be what saves Goodwins with pass mark.

I do think that Lever and May exceed Frost and Omac in what they provide the team. What I don’t know is the opportunity cost for the team given their far greater costs (salaries and draft picks traded)............

Me too. Also worried brown may not be the answer to our bomb it in style.

Just a rumour - Gil planning on changing Anzac Day games to suit an Oscar awards presentation after the orchestrated drama created on trading night.

Agree. Seems crazy ? We must have a plan to recruit through the draft or organic growth for the other wing.

What’s your point? yes stuff happens from gov’ts every day. Pretty sure we can be aggrieved that an opposing team reaps benefits from that decision?

Doesn’t make it ok though. A lot of $’s for something that’ll be used 10 times a year with the economic benefits going to the cats.

Disgusting. It frustrates the hell out of me. Is it that cookie is better at applying for grants than the rest? Or is there a hope to get a sporting event in the near future and Gmhba is required for a tender bid? what I hate most is the marketing spin as it doesn’t even support the Geelong locals......

You forgot to mention your brother who isn’t a member celebrating another flag......

Cameron didn’t do much last year either though

Wish Richmond had of lost and dimma teared up. Bring on 2021 go dees
