Well many on here wanted her gone so you’ve got your wish. A female premiership president is how she’ll depart. Her exit doesn’t solve our on field issues and cultural problems. All the best KR.

The problems are....has this scared away any potential recruits, I reckon it has. Plus many issues still remain, including leadership and on field and off field issues. None of this has gone away just because he's signed. I know you know that but I think a fair bit of damage has been done now

@Demonland can check when he was last online. Hope he's OK, but can you blame him currently?

Theres your answer to your previous question haha. Operation: Raid GC

Could be a late diamond however I wasn't too impressed with his stats in the WAFL before recruited IIRC. Recruiters must think there is enough to work with though.

Well that's how it's looking, would you agree? As for a trade, until we know who he wants to go to, it's just a guess. Have we ever seen a MEGA trade?

Need more than her, like I mentioned, she is not responsible for all of the other issues. Petracca is gone, and I'd doubt Roffey is why.

I think people need to calm the farm a bit. Roffey spoke poorly & should resign, but getting rid of her does not solve club culture, we won't start playing electric football again, she isn't responsible for our terrible recruiting, nor off field antics of players, Petracca won't stay if she leaves either, we have bigger issues throughout. It doesn't just end with her gone, we need a whole club clean out/direction and buy in.

We won a flag 3 years ago....time for people to move on. I did not mention anything about being the worst performing club, however we did finish 5th last....After we lost 10 of the last 15 games and 5 of the last 6, including 4 games around 8-9 goal losing margin from around round 17. Our club on many occasions this year did not turn up to play. You clearly have rose coloured glasses on if you don't see we have many issues onfield. Some of our stats this year are up there with the worst in the comp. We also finished 5th and 7th the previous 2yrs, as we folded and went out in straight sets..... I however do agree that we are awful off field as well, but our onfield has nothing to do with Roffey.

Not just Melbourne players, but I wonder how many players across the AFL just say "they're homesick" just to keep the peace, rather than rag their clubs? I'd imagine there would be a fair amount.

So what you're saying is, Goodwin and Roffey must go?

I don't like her, but it's not her fault the players continually dish up rubbish and lack of effort on field.

I think it would be naive to just give Goodwin a tick, there are a large range of issues on and off the field that Goodwin is responsible for, he is not in the clear by a long shot and I personally believe the current issues relate to Goodwin and the coaching group. It also feels like Pert and Roffey should be given marching orders, but that is just a guess as I'm not all over board issues (nor want to be).

It’s not all rainbows and unicorns…. it just covers over cracks beating a hapless GC. I don’t have to watch the game to know there are major issues, blind Freddy can see that. Enjoy the win, gosh people are overly sensitive and emotional on this site.

Haven’t seen the game yet and probably won’t this week but I’ll tame my excitement, we beat up a hapless Gold Coast who’d lost to WCE and North in recent weeks. We still have a look of work to do. As a whole club, from coaching to player retention and beyond.

Yep WCE at Optus for me. What I saw wasnt good

Give what a rest?! and wasn’t that my point…..

How the hell is that belittling the players? Sheesh.

Funny how we see it differently. Looks nervous and could hear it in his voice. Petracca and Oliver are contracted, of course the club would say this. Both have made comments within 12 months though. Still silence from Petracca. Looked just the usual spin to me.

Another great clubman gone, always gave the jumper his best.

I'd definitely do this, invest in the kids, right now is the best time to do this. Give them a taste and make them hungry for next year.

Yet Goodwin has said only Salem was a potential injury, hamstring. You'd think he would have remembered mentioning Kolt, who he subbed off very early..... I mean he may be injured, however looked like a good old fashioned dragging to me.

What I'm saying OD is, we don't want another Jack Watts scenario.....

I'd be happy to try him, however we need to choose the right opponent

And he’ll do it in what looks a lot worse of a side too
