I worry we might scare off the likes of Longmuir. It's not a stable setup at the moment. We had better pull our finger out quick and start presenting as a competent leadership team, in order to land the coach or coaches we want. I think it has to be an experienced coach as well. Or at the very least an experienced assistant to guide things. Throwing an untried coach in there as his first job feels way too risky with how unstable we are at the moment.

Even though many of us wanted change, it doesn't not make it a sad day. Can't imagine how the players feel. Thanks for everything, Goody.

Wow. I'm shocked. I honestly thought things would continue as per usual until the end of the season. I'm excited for change, but also sad to see the end of an era. Goodwin leaves the club having delivered us a drought-breaking premiership. A legend of the club.

Well done Culley. Played a good game on debut for his boyhood club. Great to see Windsor in the middle as well. Fritta continuing good form. Nice to see Petty clunk a few marks, and would like to see Trac spend more time at HF too.

Summed things up perfectly. No leadership at the top and the club is suffering.

Pop the champagne! 🍾 What a huge moment in the direction of this club. Kozzy on his way to legend status at The Dees, and so excited to see him run around for the red and blue for years to come!

Cracking win! Clarry back to his dangerous best in the thick of it. Kozzy unbelievable. Dan Turner has to stay down back. All the young talent. And just so many players beating their man and working selflessly all over the ground. What a turnaround by this team.

Go the Dees!!!!!

Yeah it really seems like all he's lacking is to get his hands on the footy a bit more. Such a young kid, coming off an injury, and then to try and play a small forward is a tough ask. Has barely played any footy, so wouldn't be opposed to him getting a game at Casey. Just feels like it's not too far away before it all clicks into gear for him. Side note: who else celebrates every goal by a teammate as much as Kolt does. What a great team player.

I wonder if a spell down back has been what has ignited his form. I've really loved seeing him play defence lately. He's looked really solid, but obviously his three goals might push him forward again.

Three in a row, but also a win against the worst team in the comp. McGovern going off injured. Still relying too much on Max. Proper test against the Hawks next week

It's relentless. Give the guy a goddamn break. I think some of these low-life media guys forget that these are actually real people.

I agree. I know it's slightly different because he's had a career at the Saints already, but it's a bit like Billings. He shows flashes and often gets talked up in preseason, but can't seem to play consistently at the level.

I hope the media and the football world can just leave Oliver alone this week, and get on with the business of the games and players involved. I'm sure there'll be plenty to talk about. Hopefully one of those things is 3 in a row for the Dees.

So good to see Kolt out there again. Had a real presence.

It's funny, it's like the air suddenly smells sweeter. I can birds chirping. Even food tastes better.

Seems so easy! And yet..

It just all feels a bit sad really. This team is a shell of what it used to be. Not sure where we go from here. Goody keeps talking about the band being back together. Feels like the band has stayed together for one too many albums.

Yep. Stark contrast between the two teams.

Pathetic, embarrassing performance. I don't know what happened to the team from round one but we deserved to get raked over the coals for this.

Was just thinking about these three. Now that Windsor is out, we're missing a bit of leg speed this week. Can't wait to see them all out there together.

I'm moving from Perth over to Melbourne in a few months, so along with my wife, there's an extra two to add to the mix. Hopefully that should shut Caro and the rest of the media up.

I was waiting for this to show up! I think it's fair to say this will be a fairly popular meme for a few years to come.

Six debutants!! Crikey! Very excited to see them all run out Sunday. Loved the announcement video as well. Good fun.

Thanks for the training reports, folks. Loving your work 👌
