Ahhh the ol slash and burn method...hilarious! So what you're saying is - the fact that they say that they are addressing issues, it isnt enough, clear the decks, start from scratch, that's the only way forward? Deliberate forensic analysis is what is required... only those on the inside know what the problems are and externally, have the skills to do it effectively.

@Dee-licious - sterling work! I looked to message you but couldnt - would love a link to your spreadsheet. well done and thanks very much.

Perhaps this club already knows what it is - deals with things privately, and allows things to run it's course....

Sounds like you came up with the initial concept of 'brand' @praha, or at least, hold on to it quite dearly. I know last year a new position was opened up at another club whereby said person in this position wrote team values/brand in the training area (actually got a graphic artist) - was outwardly and inwardly mocked by players... the team was knocked out in the finals last year and are finals bound this year (if not the favourite). Team branding/values are redundant... the team (anyteam) is already branded merely by wearing certain colours, and playing within the afl industry. Whether brands are worthy or not only work within a post hoc analysis sense if you(r) team is winning, otherwise all branding's/language around what we/the team stand for, doesn't stack up. Goodwin has repetedly said in his tenure that his way is about building from the contest out... typically we smash the contest and deliver into the 50 enough... this is the part that the entire club is working on now - not the contest anymore, the delivery, the two way running etc etc. The rationale behind this philosophy of course is because it is the way finals are played, people tighten up, people dont want to [censored] up , dont want to make errors, skills get worse etc... That's fair enough isn't it, to allow time for the building to continue?? Because that is what he and the other employee's will do. Personally, I am backing Goodwin and his philosophy - it's stage 2.5 of about 5.

most appropriate font size I have seen in a while.

How on earth have you come to that conclusion???

It is isn't it - it's as though people think Goodwin speaks in tongues or something??

"I actually haven't watched it again" reads quite differently to "I actually haven't really watched it again" I'd suggest.

FFS - these sorts of comments are ludicrous. I would suspect the recruiting team would also be after pace AS WELL as what other players can bring. Remind me how many list spots are available again ??

Is it a negative, or is it a positive - in that whilst we are performing poorly - , actually we are relatively so close score wise to our opponents throughout matches? ps: ripper thread....

He says, reaching for evidence 2 years ago.

Docklands is our fortress right! Right???

“Hey hey, you you, Get out of my dreams and get into my car?” postscript: I presume as the oracle of business acumen that you present yourself as, you have some strategies that you can put forward, rather than making broad statements about the personnel at the clubs ineptitude? Please post below sir.

interesting as in once you know this it's obvious not to pursue Yarra Park 'obvious'??

Is this like when Frawley was played forward to 'experiment' even though he was off to Hawthorn - and it aided us getting higher draft picks?

controversial!

So, what or whom would we likely give up for Ed?

Nah, surely it's someone with a personal connection to Ratten who is aiming to further his agenda (not that this site is Linkedin or Seek.com I suppose), why else would you put that stuff out there?

Are you Ratten's manager?

Ahh I spent the first 18years of my life in Portland - and played against Billy Pickens son Marcus up in Hamilton in U/16 U18’s when he got drafted. Not too many Melbourne supporters down that way - nor players - but I believe Ian ‘Tiger’ Ridley was from there originally. Anyway thanks to my old man, I’ve learned you cannot have any pleasure without a lot of pain.

Lever, May, Lewis...er MITCH CLARK?

stop making sense.
