Firmly tongue in cheek comment

I wouldn’t mind seeing watts again as a rookie after port drops him

Deceiving title for an Mfcss sufferer, but yep he’s killing it. Just what we needed too.

Sounds about right TBH. Nev a little stiff to miss. Full seasons to Tmac and Brayshaw and I reckon they may have got the nod

We don't necessarily need the picks - but first round picks are great currency to trade into getting the finishing touches we actually need in other parts of the ground, i.e an established, classy outside mid. And that's my point - if the Weed is deemed suitable to be our #1 target up forward at the end of the season, then why not at least consider trading Hogan for picks, and then trading those picks to fill gaps elsewhere? It's all just food for thought at the moment, I'm certainly not in the "we must trade hogan" camp, but if there's a chance trading him will put us in a net better position then I'd certainly give it thought. Let's see if the Weed shows signs he can be that guy first though. Then the convo is worth actually having.

It's probably too early to make this call. If the weed plays out of his skin and shows us to be what we all hope him to be in the finals, then I see no issue making inquiries re: getting 2 first rounders for Jesse. Jesse is no doubt a great player, but he's not worth more than 2 first rounders in a super draft if the weed holds his own in September.

As someone who fought this battle as a teenager and won, I sincerely hope he can break through. Problem is, it appears he doesn't even want to, so what can you do really. Maybe the media could give it a rest and let him kill himself in peace perhaps.

unsure what a 34 year old from an average club would do for us. huge no for mine.

I think Oliver is a given. It's like saying the sun is hot.

If he doesn't already, its only just around the corner: James Harmes

Dare I say it, possibly Bugg for Spargo

Came very close

Never in doubt. New leaders have emerged before our very eyes.

A small part of me is believing for some reason today. We need to start breathing fire from the first bounce. We need to hurt them physically and mentally with a huge 1st quarter. We’ve done it before. Please boys, get it done.

Remove hogan from that equation I think as he has seriously struggled to have any impact whatsoever against good teams this year

Love a good armchair expert comment like this. Get your hand off it mate - playing top level sport is never easy for anyone.

It's really hard to reconcile your username with that last sentence

Can't argue with that mate. I guess there's a fine line between having faith in your system and game plan and being dynamic when required. I'm just hopefully Goody finds that balance sooner than later.

I liked Goody's presser today. Although his game day coaching hasn't been great, I feel he is getting better at being more dynamic and identifying issues as they happen. It's only his second year with with the reigns after all. When we lose as many games as we have this year by a couple of kicks, it's really just up to the players at that point. We're closer than ever before, and I'm backing Goody in as he seems to have the respect and buy-in from the playing group. That's one of the most important aspects of being the head coach in my opinion, the rest can and will improve in time.

Thank you sir

Dunn would be nice to have right now!

Second this. I can't figure out how a statement like that could be inferred from this interview.

Come to the realization that we are perhaps better off without Hogan ...

Not taking anything personally, just calling out the rubbish comment about how people should feel ashamed for being critical of Hogan simply because he has now become injured

Yes. Yes you are.
