They have competed about the same so far.

Time to go Goody?
If he had the ability to do so, he would have "fixed this" by now. Or at least we would see positive signs. He is just not up to it, and should be shown the door. The bloke and his outdated snooze-fest tactics/Gameplan are killing our club, and he has undone our past 6-7 year revival IMO. I actually think it would be better for him personally too. It cant be good for anyone having this much pressure and stress hanging over you whilst you try to fumble your way to success in a role that you are not capable of.

The only thing that will "shut people up" is winning. We lose this week, it all gets worse.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 5th February 2025
Thanks for the report mate! This really worries me, it doesn't sound like much has changed in our gameplan. Which if true, will be extremely disappointing. Doesn't matter who we add or remove from the best 23 if the gameplan is still as ineffective, boring and predictable as it has been the past few years..... I guess the practice matches will be our real fist chance to see how we have evolved, but have any of the regular track watchers noticed a substantial shift in the way we attack/move with the ball?

The Go Home Factor
My original statement..... " I don't mean completely ignore them(interstate draftees), but we should be prioritizing Vic kids IMO" Your responses: You are both wither intentionally straw manning me or both need to invest in a dictionary and look up the word PRIORITISE. Either way, I stand by my views on how we should approach our list management moving forward.

The Go Home Factor
Limiting the chances of players wanting to go home is not "being Insular" is called being pragmatic and objective as to address an issue. With all the talk of Kozzi wanting to go home I would be shocked if these discussions are not happening internally with the list management team at the club.

The Go Home Factor
Neither of those lines contradict what I said. 'draft for talent, trade for need' - Ok, but prioritize drafting Vic Talent whenever possible.... And by doing so are we not "managing" the chances of go home factor?

The Go Home Factor
I feel like we need to start avoiding interstate players whenever possible. I don't mean completely ignore them, but we should be prioritizing Vic kids IMO. Especially top end picks. The constant speculation surrounding our club and players going home hurts us in so many ways. And for those who think "it goes both ways"....It really doesn't. If a top end talent wants to come back to VIC, we are competing against another 10 clubs to attract them and as much as it hurts to say... we are at the bottom lists when it comes to desired destinations. Even when we wont the flag we were not very desirable. If you take your Dees glasses off, why would a player pick the Dees over the Pies, Carlton, Cats etc. The bigger clubs are better place to hold onto interstate players too. Player movement is only going to increase as it has for the past 10 seasons or so, And an increase in trading doesn't help us in the slightest. We should be doing what the interstate clubs do and prioritize local talent.

Oliver Trade Rumours
I'll get shot down for this I'm sure, but if the Dees Trade Oliver to Geelong, I'll be done with this club. This is the first time in my 20 years as a member that I have even considered such a thing.

Trade Targets
He can certainly play! Would love him in the red a blue if possible. Not sure 5 years is necessary but maybe a 3+2 option deal....I would much rather chase players like this than old past it delisted players like Seb Ross, jack martin etc.
