If a podcast does happen. Is there a rule that stops AFL clubs from appointing and having a President and CEO start mid season. Because I am disgusted that Brad Green has been left to see out the season while the two new guys are on holidays. The club is rudderless and we are meant to be happy for the new guys to come in after the season ends?

Don't listen to the presser! soft [censored] journos allowed him off with easy answers and deflect.

A lot less activity on here than I thought there would be. Probably shows the fact there are people like me who were smiling when they kicked the winner. If Goodwin's here next year, I won't be wasting my time watching.

Kolt needs to be told unless we get a load of injuries, he is staying in the VFL for the rest of the year and he needs to meet targets for a chance at Round 1 next year.

The move of putting Bowey to half forward will be talked about for at least 7 minutes on the podcast this week as a reason for Goodwin to get an extension.

How'd he go today, anyone know?

Careful, a few posters around here will think the media is biased against when they see you posting this...

If the board was actually giving Goodwin the chance to adapt the game plan over this year and next, then why wouldn't they say it? Have they said it anywhere? am I missing something? Many people on this very forum said we would bounce back this year and that last year was the aberration. Trading out our future 1st round picks and refusing to trade anyone of currency in the last trade period tells me the club believed it could compete this season. Yet, we are worse than last year, and everyone is another year older. If you're right, it's a major [censored] up. We have lost thousands of membership renewals, back to low crowds, and have lost many of our PT slots due to the poor form. Goodwin knows this is a result industry. He was lucky he survived until 21. 21 he did the thing, he got the result. Now he should know rounding out from the 4th season following the flag with nothing but back to back straight set exits and 2 bottom 6 finishes that his job is gone.

You always see these threads when we are [censored]. Get over it. Half the [censored] you talk about doesn't even happen or it just happens for everyone.

You have to look at the likes of Longmire, Bartel etc. to take over from Richardson. Coach wise, unless you go to Longmire, I think you can only go for a fresh face. Whoever interviews best I guess, but importantly the interview must be done after our new Football Boss comes in. I'd move Tim Lamb on. Congrats on giving Kozzy a load of money to keep him at the club. A simpleton could've done that. Who have we recruited that's worth a damn since we won the flag? He has underperformed in his role. So bye-bye. Is it time for Choco to go as well? I remember when we had that patch where we shot the lights out, everyone was quick to sing his praise. We've been [censored] for years at goal kicking and general disposal. So, bye-bye or move into another role.

48-49 W/L 48-39* since the flag. 9-18 since Round 11 last year. With several 50+ point defeats. Still people will defend the coaches.

Why is Turner running back and not going to the bench ffs. You gave us no chance to defend that play.

All I do is hold people accountable. Goody, the board, the players. Kolt and other 1st and 2nd year players can't get a pass for being [censored].

What is Sparrow doing if Rioli can take an uncontested mark on him

Is Kolt the biggest personality who has done sweet [censored] all as a player?

Because Fullarton is the only tall forward we've been able to bring in. My main point is that I accept we are looking, but it's been an utter failure to not bring in anyone for 5 years.

He has had bad luck with injuries... Let me just check Fullarton's stats in comparison.

I agree we have been looking and those who say otherwise are 'nuffies'. However, we haven't landed anything. That's not good enough. If you believe reports, Ben King will be a pie. If that does happen that would mean Collingwood would have brought in McStay and King in 5 years. Us? Fullarton (does he count)?

I really think May's actions show a difference in how people like to receive feedback themselves and how they think feedback should be delivered. Phil Davis spoke about this on radio earlier, he acknowledged it's not a nice look, but if it gets a response then you circle back and say that was great leadership. Now I don't think we will circle back to this in the coming weeks, it's just a storm in a teacup in my opinion. All I can say is if I was on the field and in May's position I would've reacted in a similar way, as I did sitting in my chair at home. It's not a personal attack on Max, nor does it spoil my image of him as a champion of our club and our captain. It's just frustration on losing the game. You can also be damn sure I would be giving feedback to Clarry, Christian, Bayley and Kozzy for their last quarter brain farts that cost us as well.

Goodwin saying this now, after 9 rounds when any fan could've pointed this out after round 3 is akin to him saying 'no comment' to the question. Since Burgess left we've not been the same physically. Yet no changes have been made.

No May.... Howes in. Not like it makes much difference at the moment.

Talk about pressure on XL to perform..

Another to add to the large bucket of small forwards who can't score goals consistently. Can't have 4 of them in your team every week.

If Brad's statement stopped at the first paragraph and started again at the i want to thanks the members part then you could argue this is an acceptable/nothing statement. In totality, what has been sent out, is a load of [censored] and an insult to the intelligence of our fan base.

You know what.. the haters were right, fair play to the haters.
