58er

If you have been following this matter of importance over recent times you would have been aware of that fact. For various reasons most candidates were ensconced in comfortable and well suited positions and not fit a long time previously. I don’t regard a person of this standing as being the successful candidate as less suited to the CEO role than the many others previously touted. Like with Gary Pert who I Maintain despite his Clarry look around was an extremely positive influence on our club. Many will say he left a mess but the previous majority of years were successful both on and off the field. Some will disagree that’s fine but if you go into detail given our last 60 years that’s beyond dispute. Paul Guerra looks a fine positive and knowledgeable Senior CEO with great business and administration skills. Let’s give him our full support in his journey to raise our level back to near the top.

Really what question marks have you really got on Harvey? Too slow, no right side, disposal not perfect, doesn’t take enough marks above his head? well if they are it then you are nit picking for an 18 yo in his sixth game who is already showing huge promise. If it’s Kolt yes he has not as vividly shown the his potential in his first 15 games. But think about it he has had two longer injuries in the one and a third seasons and not many recruits can match The Duke or X or Harvey in their first half a dozen games. Caleb is showing still good skills but I don’t think we need him at half back even in this new era of our game plan. Bowey Rivers ( who still will make it when he reverts back to midfield) Judd Salo Howes AMW can all attack. Lindsay is versatile and very skilful plus composed which is a great plus. We are very lucky have the choice for half back and even some on a wing instead. Lindsay fits that bill beautifully. Congrats Xavier keep it up you have adapted very well in view of your injury.

Thst statement is so true. Ox would have been a better all round player than the North great. Maybe we might have broken our drought sst in 98 or 2000 ( not really Dons a generational team for ONE year). So much ability a class.

Comment please Gwriter????

Shorter break???? We played on 28 deg heat in middle of day. Tigers played under roof which may have been very humid and were goaless in last quarter. Prey please tell Me which team was affected by both playing on same day. Please check facts before parroting other posters. Oxdee you of similar style name to Old Dee. Please don’t get his negativity as a basis for posting He has already written about half our team off and we play with about a dozen players each week. No one is allowed more than ONE game before he writes them off. Watch out Culley Sesto Pup Brown Adams Mentha I say!!!

Sparrow ?? Too often ONE misses outJoeboy but I love your segment. Long may it continue !! Disappointing game again by Caleb. I haven’t seen one reason to say he can play half back anywhere near McVee Bowey Rivers Salem and maybe the potential of Seston and also don’t forget AMW next season. We are missing out on our best and most accomplished runner and user confining him to defensive duties. His game has not expanded as Goofy and his skill missing from the centreline is hitting our potential aggressive and skilled approach. Yes I want the Duke in the centre not on the wing to become an elite player in our reset and for him to grow his talent he undoubtedly has. Have seen him regress as a player and please I do understand he has had an unfortunate injury which has hampered him. Another older rushed back under Goody’s pickem they are available policy. Spargo says hi also!!I

Why not?

Great comment OD Some never satisfied. Perfection to be aimed at but hard to produce;

Maybe you needed to be at the MCG to feel the full effect of the result and effort put in by all the players coaches and a very loud and enthusiastic crowd that all will back up again on Thursday with hopefully another 20,000 Dees fans and 30/25 Tigers as well. After Last night the game deserves 60/65,000 plus now. PS Picket Whatever were you thinking going to Casey and not the G? Almost too afraid to see us lose in another Freo onslaught? Really get some b….s Ypu handle those snakes well what about adversity? Sorry you got what you deserved missing out on one of our better wins under Goody and maybe an era changing day for the future of the Vlub plus Kossie Maxy JV and all others put in to the new plan.

Correction WAS good enough for today and with May Lever Judd and Turner ( last half off) it has plenty of room for improvement. Bowser Howes and Salem all were brilliant solid and handy in that order plus Max helped and Lingers and Rivers back to near his best.

Yes maybe Kolt in time can be Angus’s replacement. Let’s not rush but a lot of Angus traits. Does the little things is completely team orientated and is a versatile player who kicks on both feet. And he cares so much about the other players and the Club.

That’s why Tmac is playing so well now he is reasonably lighter than last season. Long may it continue.

Windsor is taking time after his injury but I have wanted Caleb on the middle as a centre player and nothing I have seen has me changing my opinion. If Goody wants to maximise our run and game plan it’s a no brainer Duke for centreman and the sooner the better.

About bloody time 5 years on !!!

So Clarry is still overweight you say Gator. Rubbish he is just not running like most of our players. From 450 to 290 meters gain in 25/30 possessions is only because of choice not fitness. Time for some outside runners to be used specifically and only like that role. Clarry was ignored in a replay on the weekend in a similar role play to his bang bang bang goal so it’s our own selfish and negative play under Dimon that has crept in. Time for another coach to start putting up a rocket under their lazy and fractured potentially group. It’s not fitness I don’t believe but the will yo run and create.

Up until the first side is proved selfish and untenable for goal scoring. The second side of the story should be introduced for 3:/ 4 matches and I’d not successful with wins and greater goals then Goody should be thanked lauded and John Longmire appointed immediately. Either way ability to bring in new assistants and whatever required to get the place moving again. Let’s do something from left field and don’t waste the year as we won’t have any players supporters or hope if the change is not made. Any player who resists team instructions is out and cleared at the end of the season. And what about appointing a proper six player leadership team. Our current arrangement is spineless and should have had publicly known meetings to solve the friction and team disharmony that is there. Teams can’t go from where we have and be happy. And it’s clear that confusion and frustration are rife among the natives. Selection is a joke also and if any one suggests that all is well and the place will blow up if Goody is replaced then go out in sympathy with him please. Nothing really successful has happened in 2023 since the finals started. It has been steadily down hill and the stubbornness of the FD and Coaches is mostly responsible. we need a more positive attitude and game plan to attract players and fans alike. Don’t don’t is at our peril and we will go back to 2007 to 2014 as a Club.

That’s the way that it worked up until now. But it may be that the Pandoras Box has opened with Allen and Sam Mitchell getting outed in public. Don’t blame the agents this is what the AFL would like still.

Yes let’s just get players of the standard if your nickname and stay down the bottom of the ladder!!! Great idea Not!!

Yes there is we have X (Lindsay) so what do you say now!

Wrong way round. Our drafting is fine but after 2021 our trading horrible. Too many average players and VFL standard recruits and no stars.

This quote was directed at Dee Spencer for his post.

Have you forgotten to mention that all picks are pushed further down the list purely because of the way NGA and Fatherson selections are factored in the draft. Those b players can’t be counted and you are trying to m sad kenout our policy is counterproductive. Let’s spoil a bad story with an inaccurate mistruth.

Done be so stupid.

Good summary LH which really is another way of saying that Goody is at the end of his tether with this group of players unless there us a tougher approach to players who don’t follow coaches instructions. BUT why can’t we get it right ? Other teams do it right every week either under pressure or to change games when challenged. Players like Trac Clarry and Gawny plus JV must know they are contributing to our demise and their 50% or slightly more disposal figures reveal the truth ALL the time. Unfortunately for the Club the ONE component ALL ALONG is Simon who has presided over a pressure and defence mantra now for 3 years to no avail. It has ruined our approach to footy aggression and challenge as we go it for a small period but fall and lapse back into our binning and same same forward thrusts through poor connectivity and forwards who don’t lead. End result is also bad goal kicking that eroded confidence and leads to further pressure on each shot fo goal. I am certain that the players are tired of the same mistakes and plans even different this year from the same source. The opinion that Goody has lost the players MUST HAVE some credence for our 2021 heroes. The excuses blown up that Goody is liked/loved by all of them is not compelling enough to NOT make a change if we are not successful. If we could get John Longmire to a 3 year deal with new assistants it would save a crisis that will further potentially send the club back to the old days of losing. I don’t understand any supporter not wanying us to be a winning Club and by not making a change when clearly it is necessary. GW is fixated with love for Goody by players well they better start proving it by changing the game plan and making it successful in a hurry or we won’t have fans putting up with the same same issues each season. Maybe it’s got to be player lead for any change even the lovers who are smitten can surely see their folly as they trudge off the field after another repeat performance of like the third quarter. BTW why can’t the centre bounce players make changes on the run when they are out of touch like in the last quarter. Thats why we need Campbell or Johnson in the 23. That’s another coaching fault NO PLAN B or C. when we are challenged. Thats another reason GW for Goody to be replaced. Same same again!! Change or perish I think.
