Goodwins appointment was also because Dew didn’t come, he was second choice.

I'm sure Mahoney will sell the farm for him, seeya later pick 2 lol. The other week he had 30 odd disposals with only 8 being effective if I read right, he should slot in nicely with our meat and potato butchers

We already basically know this, seeing as he is a part of their NGA. It's a feel good story, but he doesn't seem to be setting the world on fire either so no great loss.

We also should have beaten WCE in Perth and Adel in Darwin, form is better, execution is not, but that happens with no depth.

It seems misson was also maybe just filling up his Super fund, I'm not sure who overseas his role within the club. I'm normally critical but I'm realistic too, club got ahead of themselves no doubt. Goodwin needs better assistants for a start, I'm still sceptical about him but until he is surrounded by a good team then he won't achieve squat. We will know by round 4 next year.

Yes but we had a huge amount of surgeries to best 22 players, it was out of control. My expectations after those surgeries were that we'd never make finals this year, it was unrealistic tbh. We need to really improve our depth, players are starting to come back now, they'll be ready to go for a full preseason. I think this year has been a huge positive, nothing wrong with a down year and it will teach everyone throughout the club, to never get ahead of themselves ever again. Geelong, Hawthorn, Richmond all went through and came out the other side, so will we.

No it won't be wasted as the club will recognise our depth issues, currently we have nobody knocking the door down. Fitness dropped off due to surgeries and injuries. It will all be OK

Everything will be OK, just relax. The internal review will say better assistants, better high performance staff, better injury rates and the club will inject more depth again after getting ahead of themselves. Next year will be nothing like this, frustrating - yes, but if you don't get a full preseason in these days, you can write the year off. Things can change quickly, see Cats after their trade period. If anything, we overachieved last year and people got their hopes up. We will be right up there next year, enjoy life while you can peeps.

I like Brayshaw but something seems amiss with him, maybe he tries to show off too much on his left and I actually think hes a sooky type of person. He speaks well and seems professional though, I'm unsure about picks but I'd seriously consider it for Brad Hill, not Langdon though. Half of Brayshaws issues seem to be coaching related also, for eg he came third in a brownlow as a midfielder yet Goodwin does stupid things like play Lewis as a mid and Brayshaw on a wing. I wouldn't be surprised if Angus was currently disgruntled.

I have taken a spell this year LN, for my own mental health so am not across it totally but I'd look to pluck a few from the top sides, GWS, Tigers and Cats for a start and go hard at any free agents. I just feel like we have far too many flaky meat and potato types (always have). I'd be going harder for Hill than I would Langdon for eg.

Overrated butcher, don't want or need him....higher skilled players welcome please.

The only loser attitude around here is yours, you constantly spam this forum with rubbish and conspiracies since the 1960’s ffs. You might understand psychology old boy, but you have a poor understanding of football clubs.

We matched them in the second half of the prelim only being -4pts. 8.5.53 - 7.7.49..... the problem isn't the prelim, its surgeries, injuries and coaching.

I've been banging on about it for two years also, we've beaten nobody....

No issue with May, about time we showed a bit of hardness instead of being nice, good teams of recent times were all hard on each other, STK GEEL HAW, more of it please, stop being [censored].

Goodwin really does talk a lot of club spin, it’s actually sickening, I’m still not convinced he is a good game day coach, but at least he says nice things. Pressure is on, and you can see that.

Well at least we have an answer after many years of bickering. With two coaches going back into development roles, it is clearly development, not recruiting.......

Wasn't he meant to take on a director of coaching with us, then left......wonder why?

Hahahaha. Made my day thanks mate

He was standing a couple of weeks ago when he had to leave the presser in similar viewing.

Goodwin looks NQR, very nervous and upset looking, I wonder what the issues are? Health or pressure? Hope he's OK.

Or Magpie or Swan

I'd rather see us put games into the kids to be honest (Petty, Baker, Lockhart etc), his form has been putrid anyway and his lack of discipline throughout, including the momentum sapping pre lim should see him retire or stay at Casey. He's way too slow and fumbly for the senior side now, if he wants to continue on then let him train Sparrow, Chandler, Jordan, Bedford up at Casey so they're equipped for senior footy.

Beyond that OD, after all of surgeries last year I didn't think we'd make the 8 anyway, plus we have the exact same issues so whats the point.
