If STK get one I’ll be furious. Didn’t they just come of 11-12 win seasons back to back? A blight on the game if they get it.

Just heard on SEN that Paul Gaff, father of Andrew is in hospital with heart issues. May sway him to move back to VIC and leave WCE.

Awesome, can't wait to smash my TV (again).

Ranked 18th in Total Inside 50s, 3rd in Total Goal Assists and 3rd in Goal Assists Per Game. Goalkicking is a bit off this year though with 5.12 Averaging 26 disposals @ 70% DE too. Is an explosive gun that's for sure and would be cheaper.

Ah yep, forgot about that one, that was disgusting.

Very observant there JR!

Off topic, but who's the better coach, Chris or Brad?

Is there actually any proof out there that we actually have? Or even interested in Gaff of late?

Gawn rates Lycett so will be an intriguing battle, Gawn must be quite sore, hopefully we make finals and he can rest over the bye, huge workload.

Free kicks v WCE in recent years at WA, favoring WCE 2017--- 27-16 2016--- 22-19

So if NO GAFF, what's plan B? Ed Langdon isn't the answer. We are definitely chasing at least 1 A grader, possibly 2 according to Mahoney earlier in the year.

I think you may have misread my post Dave, I did not say the team is concerned with what supporters demand, they're your words not mine, I was just making the point that our side is just happy to coast along. We have a soft underbelly as a football team and club and have for many decades and many supporters are just happy to accept honourable losses and mediocrity, just as the players have over many years. I want our club to be absolutely ruthless, we are nowhere near it. Look at the Fritsch incident last week, weak as [censored]. Time to be feared, not laughed at and beaten easily. I also think we'll beat WCE and I also think we can go all the way, but Goodwin needs some new tricks or should I say, common sense tactical changes.

Looking forward to see what Sam can do without Hogan there.

You say it much better haha

Doesn't he play cricket for England?

I also think another issue to the impatience and anxiety of supporters league wide is the success of the Western Bulldogs and Richmond out of nowhere, the "why not us" attitude is very prevalent. But even still, this list should be playing finals. But the above just fuels it to astronomical levels.

Interesting watching people's opinion change to now "I don't care if we dont make it." That's the soft underbelly attitude that has held this club back for decades. Show some ticker, be ruthless and don't accept mediocrity. This club should have made finals in 2017, we choked. They have just 2 games left to overcome this hurdle, the season has been frustrating and has this group "learnt from R23 last year.". If we don't make finals this year it's a massive failure as we would not have taken a scalp, not even a half decent scalp let alone a big scalp. No finals and there is massive pressure on Goodwin entering his last year, which is a problem we don't want or need. Win next 2 and confidence will be up, then sky is the limit. I have the faith we can go all the way, anyone that doesnt is just making up excuses for them. I agree with Dunstall/Wallace, Goodwin needs to stop the spin and start delivering, stop being stubborn and create his own opportunities by changing things up during game time. I was always shaky v a rebounding underdog Sydney but am very confident we will beat WCE. Go Dees.

I just want to see the anger on Chris Scott’s face. In fact it’d be almost better than a Dees win. If there is one overrated coach in the AFL its him, inherited a premiership side, topped up every year trying to win another, tried to buy a flag with Dangerflog and now they’re scraping the 8 with an A grade midfield and their best player is 34. They’re in serious trouble in the next few years, Ablett, Danger, Selwood, Taylor and probably Hawkins gone and no kids coming through. Apart from Henry, their list is a shambles.

Dermie was trying very hard not to say we are soft, made for awkward viewing really. Well get there eventually

The cook.... I mean chemist

Dermie on 360 said Goody is being too funky with the game plan, needs to simplify and Dunstall said Goodwin needs to start putting the heat on the players instead of being a softy basically. Other stuff mentioned and alluded to like not much mongrel.

Sunday 1:20pm WA 3:20pm VIC.

Hopefully a nice little wake up call for him, certainly won't hurt him and hopefully burns inside. He certainly has the talent, but like many demons before him, talent will only get you so far.
