You need to consider Goody has had issues before with stress/anxiety in relation to Press conferences previously. I was surprised by what he said, but Max is fine with it, so we just move on and hope the family member's health battle remains positive.

I guess the ideal strategy would be like the below, but a few injuries/suspensions may have changed the plan 1) Casey Game/s 2) Starting Sub 3) 3/4 Game 4) Full game Guess internally they rate a half-fit Spargoat over Laurie

poor form in 2023 but in 2022 and 2021 he was very serviceable. he may have some 'average' attributes overall but I do feel like he is an important cog in the team if he can get back to his best.

Delayed onset of a virus caught from the Cats from the 2021 Preliminary Final

Happy for Spargo to remain in the team, he'll get his legs back this way and his kicking will help us. It is a risky strategy as we saw last week though as the sub/interchange for AFL is a unique beast with only one option etc. I wonder if there was any plan/idea to give him 3/4 of a game and then sub him out but the early Jeffo injury ruined that plan.

Sparrow’s career average for kicking efficiency is 59%, so I’m just saying it’s quite a bit down at present

Was speaking in generalities on modern day football contracts, not saying you said anything sorry. I can't see Goody doing that, but a lot can change in 2 years, even the coach.

Looking at North on the weekend they had Darling and Parker both 32 playing at new clubs etc. Just because they have a contract doesn't mean they'll end their careers here - we'd love it but its no certainty.

Assume these fellas are safe until McVee and the Kolt are back. Made a post in the other thread about the bombing in I know its only round 2, but I'm looking at the Kicking Efficiency % season average so far Viney - 44.8% Petracca - 40% Sparrow - 38.5% All 3 are quite high in the metres gained component - is it just the long bomb or do we have too many butchers?

Agree there have been some questionable decisions but think our depth has improved this season, just have some key absentees through injury and suspension. It's hard to get a well rounded list with depth, look at some of the fellas running around for Carlton this year.

Not a Goody post but the Flagmantle facebook page having a melt about Justin Longmuir and wanting him fired, he's on a unique contract set up isn't he? Who would they go for in the event he's fired?

In 2024 at the end of Round 3 we were sitting ok with 3 wins and 1 Loss. Brisbane were 0-3 at that stage. We finished 14th and they won the flag. We should have won Round 1 - yesterday was insipid, but the knives should stay in the drawer for now

Late in the 3rd we had a chance to make it a 6 point game but fluffed it and they rebounded and scored at the other end, big swing hurt us and then we were slaughtered early in the 4th

If they want Trac forward should we be getting minutes into Langford? How’d he go today?

Will take some attention off how putrid we were

Not ideal but as other poster referenced, XL looks the goods so not too fussed here

Think comms said they scored 7 goals straight from the centre bounce. Unforgivable

Chandler gets a bad rep on here, think 25 disposals and 3 goals should be praised. Especially when people say he doesn’t score enough etc

Didn’t make the game as I’m sick. If I was healthy the game would have made me sick. Good effort from Chandler and clarry. not many positives to get out of this game, GC now a huge game. Get on down and support the lads

Far too many broken tackles today. More inside 50s and losing by 10 goals is something.

Do you need both Sharp and Langdon on the smaller ground? Maybe Sharp the sub?

The MFC/MCC Premium option has this at a cost Three game guest pass into MCC Reserve for specific matches outlined below GWS Suns Freo Hawks Sydney North Bulldogs Obviously its a bit of a jump from Exclusive ($89) to Premium ($239), I just consider it a donation Also get GA Access to all home games and a free junior membership etc. Which you can share with pals or what not.

Reminds me of this Video - from Captain's day and they were trying to rank the captains by followers on instagram. Danger makes a dumb remark about our supporters being at the snow and Maxy says most of our supporters are 60 and don't have instagram, and he'd be higher on the list if it was facebook etc. Link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG2iXSpSJ6J/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

Maybe a mod can chuck an "a" before pathetic, less hostile thread lol
