Because for those down on goal kicking form, it might be between the ears and not a technical issue. Repetition at training isn’t always the solution. They all know how to kick a goal. Ruthlessness is a mindset, not at technique.

High impact is probably easy to argue. His season is over, that's for sure.

For anyone thinking Collingwood are a flag chance - pump the brakes. The way they are playing now looks great and is clearly getting results, but the reality is finals is a very different game all together and they will be liable to more turnovers from the extra pressure. I’m predicting they will be scored against on turnover in big numbers come September. Also keep in mind we kept our absolute best footy for finals last year - and so far we’re the only team in contention that has proven in recent history that can find new levels in September. The stats we posted on Friday night wins finals games 100% of the time. Anyone writing us off at this point is flirting with extreme danger in my opinion.

Rediscover our forward pressure and suddenly we’re looking fantastic. Too many knee jerk threads and DL these days

So we just need to do exactly what we did last year then

So I'm not the only one who still has irons 3-4 in my bag. Nice

Sentiment won't be a factor, this is his career we're talking about. All the best ooze, and good luck at the Giant's

Nice to see some here have a concept of data analysis. People need to realize it's entirely possible to be a subject matter expert (i.e. an ex player) without having any of the skills required to analyze and interpret datasets Great post mate

How could any team that hasn’t won a flag in 10 years be possibly labelled as a dynasty?

Look, if having him on the list costs virtually nothing with a low value extension then sure, he’s the depth we always need in that part of the ground. But if another team offers us anything for him, and we can trade into a player of similar size the I say take the bloody deal and be done with it. Watching Cumberland last night makes me really keen to see JVR soon, I dare say he’s our answer to this problem right now.

Nice call on the smashing of freo @binman

Kozzie ain’t going anywhere. And you can take that to the bank. AFL journalism has become so contrived and meaningless that I really can’t follow any of it anymore.

Flagmantle 😂😂😂

Pretty confident today. Reckon Brayshaw will play his [censored] off. Dee’s by plenty

How are all the panic merchants who assured us he was on the way out doing today?

We saved our absolute best for September last year. Why can't we do that again this year?

I fully expect us to start hitting our straps and getting back to our best footy starting very soon. We all but have our best 22 on the park now excluding Tmac. Hopefuly it starts on Saturday. I think its very likely we've gone through some sort of uplift in training loads at some point recently, and it will serve us well this September as it did last year.

May has been fine. Salem and Gawn definitely

Might be time to accept that Goody does not share your view of significantly changing our forward structure pre finals

Not sure why people have an issue with Tommo out. He played very well last week but Petty is an upgrade no matter what way you look at it.

Don't think this would get in the way of someone's career aspirations to be a senior coach ...

Took the 4 in a trot really. Let’s build on it boys

I don’t get why people think Gus is out the door? What is that based on? Purely a delayed contract negotiation or am I missing something?

This is such a horrible take …
