Ramifications of Goodwin not playing players, that IMO deserved a better go. Disappointed to see him go, Goody can’t keep playing favourites

Sean Wight fyi, RIP.

Where did the Melksham and Hibberd contract extension rumour start? Cant see anything official.

Is Grundy the 2nd best ruck in the league though? He was 4 years ago. He's 29 in April coming off an injury riddled year and 5yrs to go on a contract. Who are the Cats and Swans ruckmen? For all the hype around Gawn, we don't dominate. I'd prefer to put the $700k towards a KPF. Theres no doubt Grundy will come now, but I don't see it improving us.

I'm 99% sure it's a 5yr deal.

Will be interesting to see if the Clarkson/Fagan situation has any effect on players moving to those clubs and others this trade period......

No surprise.

I might be on my own here but I generally think the ruckman position is an overrated one. For all of Gawns dominance and our midfield, we don't really dominate. Anyway, we shall see, I think the pick/coin could be used to better upgrade our forward-line with a proven KPF and elite ball users/real forwards inside 50. I dont see how getting Grundy is going to improve our forward issues, as thats where it's at. Its a waste of time dominating clearances and getting 70 i50's if we don't have forwards who can capitalise. Anyway, you know this BRFE, just my thoughts.

We've already witnessed lots of that in recent weeks for bugger all result. He's kicked 2 goals since round 12 and I think 13 for the season in what seems like a lot more time forward. One bad shank at goal for Max and it messes him up for ages.

I watched him play in the WAFL on the weekend and was very underwhelmed by what I saw tbh, for a big guy.

Relying on an injury free Grundy and Gawn to kick goals with his uncoordinated style is a recipe for disaster IMO.

I wonder if Dunstan will look elsewhere?

I could be wrong but by my calculations in 2022....A sub got 1 vote and another player who did an ACL in the second quarter also got 2 votes....don't even get me started. I'm out!

Like I said earlier....makes ya wonder doesn't it. Seeya Gil......

Theres a lot of errors IMO, I think Cripps has got 2 twice when he shouldn't have. Nick Daicos only 4 votes. I could go on but I'm sure we all feel the same, needs an overhaul.

Might be a reason he was let off....

A few Southport supporters on Facebook going off that we stacked the team with AFL players and cheated haha

The problem with ANB, despite all his gut running, is his disposal and decision making, I'm sure the rest of the team feel it's a real momentum killer also. He gets away with too much IMO.

I see this as a big issue, you need fresh blood, skilllsets and talent. If Goodwin goes with more of the same again, hes in for a rude wakeup call next year, especially if we get injuries.

Cats have so many players who are great overhead marks

When people refer to the age of players during trade period they mostly refer to what they'll be at the start of next season. He'll be 29 in April and has 5 years to run of his existing contract with injuries troubles this season.

Exactly.

Anyone going to request a trade to the Dees.....

He's gone mate, he ain't coming back. We get what we get
