Schache has a few things we need. He is a very good set shot for goal. He is competitive in forward ruck work. He has good foot speed and athleticism for his height. Yes, he is not robust, but he only needs five possessions inside 50 to be 'the missing link', given the loss of Fritta.

The criticism of Kossie’s contribution throughout 2023 by several DL’s is not supported by statistics! 2023 Average Disposals (11.46) +1 on 2022, -0.38 on 2021 2023 Goal Average (1.7) equal to 2022 & 2021 2023 Tackle Average (4.7) double 2022, +1.2 on 2021 2023 Contested Poss Av (5.6) slightly above 2022, -1.2 on 2021 2023 1% Average (1) above 2022 & 2021 Goal Assist Average (1) above 2022 & 2021 The only significant difference in 2023 as compared to 2022 & 2021 is in his free kick differential. Kossie is giving away significantly more frees while being awarded fewer himself.

🤣 that is the funniest notion I have heard in weeks!

Well, you got that wrong! Any other confessions?

Do you watch carefully? Fritsch’s head hit the ground forcefully… not the bloke who was caught holding the ball! Not lucky… robbed!

I can’t take it any longer! I watched the game from Missouri at 4:20am. I had to sign in now to register a few observations. It was wet and slippery! I could see that from Missouri! Talk of dropped chest marks and fumbles as evidence that a certain player is having a bad year or deserving of a public thrashing is malarkey. We were in control for the majority of the first three quarters. We played poorly for 15 minutes in the last and paid the price! The disrespect for Kossie by some tossers is d as ds! He continues to kick goals in amazing ways, 2 out of 8 goals in an arm wrestle is worthy of high praise alone. ANB’s fumble was a sliding door moment, no doubt, but if you look closely you will see he was important in other transitions that created scoring shots. Chandler gave up a goal that may have won the game. The upside is, he was so close on at least two other occasions. Max was not the match winner we wanted him to be, he had a few clanger moments, but to suggest he was useless on the night is ridiculous! He was a contributor. May played his role well. Another one who repeatedly gets tossed into the ‘having a bad year’ basket. He had 1 ordinary game several rounds back. The rest has been worthy of an AA key defender. The Fritsch tackle was holding the ball. The umpires interpretation was a clear example of Administration knee jerk corrupting the game. It was Fritsch who managed to hit his head on the ground after catching a Cat red handed! Analysis I agree with… Spargo was not a good choice as sub Jordan should have remained Petty was short of a run Smith needs to find a few more ways to contribute as a forward (his two goals were golden on the night).

Some posters have it and some just don’t …

James Jordan had played 9 games up to round 11, 2023. Some of those were as Sub, with limited game time. In games where he played 66% or higher his stats look like this... Round Disp. Marks Goals Tkl. C. Poss % 3 21 8 1 3 6 80 6 17 4 1 2 3 66 7 22 4 0 1 7 83 8 17 2 1 3 5 67

BB is struggling. There were times today in the VFL game where he was unable or unwilling to chase or apply pressure, particularly in the last qtr when the match was tight.

Jordan gets where the ball is. He is excellent with handball in pressure situations. He gets good distance by foot and he is reasonably quick. I haven't seen a BAD game from him at AFL level. If you have, name it!

If BB gets a game before Schache the selection committee are taking the *I55!

Hahahaha... watch the 8 minute mark of the third qtr... then check the stats!

Deebauched has Dee-botched "GWS beat Geelong at the cattery for the third time. WTF do they know about that ground that Goodwin obviously doesnt." Melbourne defeated Geelong at Kardinia in 2021

I haven't been an apologist for Mark Neeld, but he only coached for 33 games in 2012 - 2013. I don't think he was the only factor in the team's demise in those days. I can only count 10 players from that era who would be considered for selection with our current list (and I'm being generous!).

Results don't lie... After 11 rounds in 2022 Geelong had 7 wins, 4 losses and a percentage of 128. I'm pretty sure those 4 losses were against other top 4 teams. Wouldn't it be a whole lot worse if we were losing to bottom 8 teams?

The top 8 is an elastic band at this stage of the season. Adelaide would take Fremantle's spot if they won today. If that happens there would still be three of the top 8 that we haven't played (four if you count us!). Your point would be stronger if you talked about the other top four beating us!

More perspective After 11 rounds in 2022 Geelong had 7 wins, 4 losses and a percentage of 128.

Some perspective on Goodwin's coaching and team performance 2021 -2023 MFC in top four 55 out of 57 rounds MFC top of the ladder on 24 of those rounds

I went yesterday. Things I liked... Kozzie's miracle Salem showing strong signs that he is back Fritta, not only maintaining brilliance with snap shots, but the one forward who spotted up loose teammates with bullet passes Max treating Darcy and Jackson with disdain in the first Sparrow kicking another clutch set shot Langdon's ball carry & run in second half Petracca 600+ metres gained Brayshaw 500 metres gained (yes, more than his brother) Grundy 320 metres gained (yes, more than Jackson)

Money up, please!

Unfortunately, the Umps are so sensitive to the head/concussion issue that they are being manipulated by players to blow the whistle when they see a head 'jerk'! Its the new 'slip the tackle up to the neck by raising the arm', but, hey, there are four Umps now so everything will be alright!

If Kossie, Roo, Fritta and Spargo nailed their very gettable set shots, all this other wrist slitting would just be noise!

Let me get this right... We are in the top four with the highest percentage... but its time to Sack The Coach Sack all the coaches Gawn is finished Grundy is a loser Our list is shizen No hope for the future!
