Previously known as LITD.

Been calling for it but now that's happened I feel a little sorry for the guy. What he achieved was something heaps of others couldn't. But he had a stubborn streak like playing Petty fwd for two years was a typical example. And ironically Petty finally game good on the weekend. But two years too late and SG was way off continuing to play him there. But our record this year is just unacceptable and well done to the club for pulling the plug. His refusal to play Grundy in finals and having a five gamer Laurie as the sub for Gus in such a huge final was ludicrous. And the lack of any changes while we all watched the Saints make the greatest comeback against us was surreal. SG has been caught napping on the job for the last time. And while I salute him for his flag it is a sad fact he has lost his touch totally. We did have a great list. One that one a flag and then two years of a double chances. Aside from losing both those double chances, last year was a disaster and this year the wheels fell off. Going forward this was definitely the correct call. Depending upon who replaces him. Also despite the denials there have been way too many internal rumblings which a good coach just doesn't allow. Our goal kicking woes alone are enough to justify SG departure but his reluctance to make obvious changes during a game to alter an outcome is as mentioned his biggest Achilles. Thanks for the memories. Now onwards and upwards MFC.

Could certainly teach Jvr a thing or two.

Ditto and to add to his 194cm he has a great leap

I think he's the sort of player we have been crying out for. Someone who could play all these roles. Interesting player.

This youngster is pretty quick for a 194 cm. He moves well and seems to have more confidence given the number of games he's played. Therefore I am inclined to play him on a flank or perhaps some centre time. Although I would need to see more of him to make the midfield call. Because of his speed I think it would be a waste to have him play fwd full time.bif so definitely as a CHF. He has a great leap too. I think as a winger or mid he could spend time up fwd in spells Keen to hear some other opinions on where to play him. He's only 22 so will probably get stronger adding to his fwd craft. He would be pretty handy in the middle with his height and a great link up option out of the backline. The passage of play where he was being chased by had the coolness to not just bang away was excellent. I'm talking about the one where he hit up Fritta on the other side of the camera/ ground. He seemed to have no options and with an opponent breathing down his neck he still took a bounce and ran and then delivered it pinpoint to Fritta. I'm a looking and I'm a liking. We could do well with another non fwd kicking a couple of goals each game. This is something we have missed dramatically since 2021. Then again it would be interesting to see him play at CHF with licence to go wherever he wants. There's something special about players who do an acl early in their playing days. It gives them a sense of determination. Eagles were mad to.let this bloke go. And also poor in respect to looking after their players. One injury and they show him the door. Their loss for sure.

Where does Jai play. He's described as a midfielder but he's 194 cm I think. And he has a decent leap. ???

The not 15m calls when the ball is still halfway in the air and the player is running after it, kills me. Just wait a few seconds before calling it.

Surely we will.make a statement today and kick 140.

Should be ok from here given we had the last quarter off in last week's game

Today's performance is why Goodwin had clearly stuck with Petty. Bit of bet my house that it's an outlier. I wish it weren't.

And only a week ago id be smug and smiling with a ten goal lead at the final break. Those days are forever gone.

Sorry Jaded. Nice sentiment but I'd wait until the final siren.

Petty's marking has definitely improved

Viney is supreme with his tackling. Not just the number but they are rarely shaken. He and Max are still our best.

Let's get rid of the coach by a ten goal lead at three quarter time.

This is just triggering the pstd from last week.

Good to see Petty looking so lively.

Almost there at 38 points.

Without a ten goal buffer at three quarter time...eagles will sniff a win here. Then again records are made to be broken. Simon.must be nervous. If we lose today the noise for his head will get a lot louder.

Has a decent leap.

Yippee JC. Get around him.

Surely we could give Turner a trial up forward full time a for the rest of the year. With Petts or Roo to swap. Your going to coach yourself out of a job Simon.

Chin continues on from last week.

They certainly cost us a lot.

If only Roo could hold some.more marks He gets to the contest. Leaps and contests well but they just don't stick He's also a decent kick at goal. He's strong and athletic but this is a massive issue in his game and one that will probably see him go the way of Sam Weideman if he can't change it. On the otherhand if he does solve it he could be a very reliable forward. Not to the degree we were all hoping but a good one nonetheless. Here's still hoping. Petty with six touches and a goal has met his game quota in only a half and his best game for the year. But that's not exciting ,unfortunately . Just nice to say something positive about him for a change. Apart from the fact he's one of our best defenders. Max..still a superstar of the game.
