Roos, Pert, Lyon - Fitzroy connection?

You would think and hope those extra years are performance based with triggers, quite clearly missed this one in a big way.

Wonder if Goody feels nervous now.

Goodwin is absolutely clueless in the box, you can see he’s not up to it

So many rule changes and changes in general yet they can't even get the umpiring or look of the game right, Gil must go, the current standard is the worst I've ever seen. This will just make it more uneven IMO.

Funny you mention this, on On the Couch I think they said WCE are 18th in contested possessions and Richmond 16th. Hmmmm, why do we bash our players around while other teams laugh at us.

We also rushed around last year to sign our players up on stupidly longer deals and earlier than needed, just to keep the list together, maybe they’re happy collecting their paycheque and Goodwin has lost them already, bad scenario for the club I’m starting to think. They also rushed Goodwins extension which is just plain dumb.

I agree with everything Goody has said, however he really needs to take some ownership also. Like for eg, playing OMAC ahead of Hore this week is just mind boggling, team selections, positional moves (Fritsch in defence, Lewis/Brayshaw/Lewis on wings etc), lack of game day nous, he is seriously a poor coach and easily outcoached atm. We started this current rebuild late 2013, how have we still not got enough talent is beyond me, the constant need and over recruiting of inside mids is also on him.

I thought Jokovich played tennis, shows how much I know....

Goodwin: We’re certainly not overhauling our game - I find this actually alarming and it actually explains this year to a tee.

Ffs

I guess that’s my point, season is over, build and plan for the future, I don’t care if he doesn’t play forward. He’s very hit and miss as a forward tbh, maybe even overrated

He’s a gun when he goes in there, would live to see more of it. That gametime would revolve around how crap our forward line is I assume. His hands are clean and he’s strong around the hips

Put him in the midfield for the rest of the year until his legs go like jelly and he can’t walk. Buildeth the tanketh

I would not be against Gawn as Captain and Jetta plus Lever VCs. Just need them injury free. Nev has shown great leadership in recent times and never gives up.

Personally I feel like we need a change in leadership anyway, Jones is nearing the end and if he has one more season then its the perfect time to hand over the reigns and I agree re Viney, hes never been a good kick. I wonder what it does to players' mindsets seeing leaders butcher it. Anyhow I'd get Ellis, even for depth and I'd look into Tigers' list to stock ours up also. I thought we'd have a crack at Townsend for a goal sneak but unsure why we didn't.

I absolutely disagree chookrat, anyway perhaps I should have used an emoji. Enjoy your day mate

Should replace Jones beautifully then.

Viney on SEN just now said he likes the co-captaincy.

The way he is playing, it's hard to imagine him having a full pre-season this one, or forever really. I think he'll be a managed player for the rest of his career sadly. He's clearly playing sore atm, I just wish the club would send all these NQRs away now and get their surgeries done, rest and ready for day one of pre-season. Goodwin is absolutely stupid for trying to drive them all into the ground with nothing to gain this year, there are a few who clearly are sore.

Melbourne 34.....

Thanks for that, but that wasn't the interview. Cheers

It was on SEN earlier in the year from memory, maybe with Maher. It's not my job to look, feel free yourself though, I already know what I heard. You're a Jones fan and that's OK too.

Watch what? It was on radio muppet

Nathan needs to be honest with himself, earlier this year he gobsmackingly said he could play for another 5-6 years. He doesn't look to be enjoying his footy as much either, but losing would do that also. Hopefully someone like Sparrow develops into the "current" Jones role.
