Because we keep selling the farm for injury prone fatties. Those two players coming in on big coin would have to have upset the apple cart IMO. It hurts to see the Dogs pups or Port with Burton, Rozee, Duursma, Butters etc. Meanwhile we overrate our list. I've been a big fan of Mahoney in the past, but I seriously think he should hang his head in shame, Viney and Taylor also.

For the best part of the year we've had Jetta, May, Hibberd, Lever out while Lewis has done other roles. Only way I understand going after Keath (hopefully not big $$$) is they will utilise May forward with TMAC. Just a thought.

You could be right mate

The bloke who invented flannels and flannelette tops

Maybe drinking bong water instead of bath water then.

He is our Sachin Tendulkar 2010-2013

I haven’t seen too many of their games mate but I actually think he’s done pretty well with what he’s got on hand? They started the season well from memory

I just wonder what the players think about May coming in for $800k after his pre season/season issues? Wonder if it’s upset a few at the club. I kind of thought early last year the same thing with Lever. Would have to affect the culture?

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.......
