Most coaches do some sort of apprenticeship before coaching at AFL. Even just going to another club to be exposed to different cultures, thinking, strategies etc is really important. It was a very strange choice but fits in with "the love boat theme"

For sure, I was watching the huge difference in ball movement between ourselves and GC. Turnover in our forward line meant instant running in packs into attack by GC When we got control on our half back line through marks etc, we would always just stop, prop and then kick over the mark to a bunch of players not really moving at all. We looked like witches hats on the few long views I could see via the TV when we had possession. Our lack of movement and hard running in waves must have looked horrific for those at the game.

A wet game where both teams just pushed the ball forward. I reckon we should play under sprinklers for home games so our lack of skills and turnovers don't impact so much.

Lube? Talking about next week's game?

That comment has madey night. Gold

I think he knows what might be on the line if there's another big loss. If they truly do love their coach which they seem to , they're playing him straight towards a cliff. It's pretty horrible for all involved I'd imagine. I just can't see us turning things around anytime soon.

Surely next week has to be the coach killer. Why wasn't Langford been playing from round 1? AJ and Sharp combined well for a goal when we really needed it and then both benched.

Are you sure you can take kids. I thought after last week's effort the AFL rated our game style MA15 😜

I reckon he'll run the first quarter out strongly. Billings should snag a few too if he's taking shots from within the goal square

I tend to agree with this. Anyone in any job where they've implemented a new process and all it does is create mistakes, frustration and chaos most of the time, tend to throw their hands in the air and not give it their all when it's obvious it's just not working. It's human nature. That's what I saw after half time. the players love Goody and that's a foundation stone for the team and that's great. What I don't know and what most of us probably don't know completely is.... Is it the right system? Can we execute it properly with enough practice? Do we have the right skills to execute? Do we have the right players to execute? What worries me most is the first two questions. If the system / process works, the belief, enthusiasm and effort grows amongst the playing group. When it doesn't, they drop their heads. JVR looked completely disillusioned by half time. Playing soccer instead of drilling drop punts from 40 metres out at 45 degrees (not trick shots from the boundary in their spare time)? The f50 entry process has been busted for three years now. Seriously, this worries me. This is not one match this is 3 seasons of failure. Spreading hard and fast through the corridor from the contest and keeping possession? (I love Jonsey but was is he the right coach to teach this style?) Defending the counter attack when turn overs occur? We may not have the perfect squad but I suspect the system we're trying to transform into is well and truly broken. That's how a club loses players.

That's the thing right. Casey blew the game against North in the VFL through really bad conversion. It is and has been so bloody obvious for so many years. Ultimately Goody is responsible for the coaching team he puts around him, the training and skills development and the game plan. The players look completely lost and 5 wins from the last 17 spells a complete crisis. It's all very sad

JVR was thoroughly dejected by half time. Jesse Hogan V2 at this rate. Boundary line running all day was so depressing to watch today

Not as much as Clarry

That was some impressive jogging around in circles by Fritta then

He's really melted down today. Got the body language of a young Jessie Hogan. He'll come good once he's elsewhere

Forward 50 entries are just nauseating

Might be best to put him in a cupboard until this game has finished.

Sparrow blind handball over the head when we're charging forward. Stand up in the tackle and look mate.

The selfish bugger needs to dish it off. He had a team mate off to his left with a paddock then. Gawn is not a goal kicker and keeps fancying himself that he is. Not good leadership

Gawn had a free player to his left. Kicked it oof instead. Why does he keep thinking he's a goal kicker. Selfish

That was such a simple set shot

It's like he's had a gummy before playing today

Interesting read in the Casey thread about our atrocious kicking for goal there today too. A couple of people saying that there's no structured goal kicking at as part of training. Just players having pings at goal in their own time. A little bewildering if true.
