58er

Good summary and realistic potential can be realised by a Trac approach to his footy.

It is quite clear that Weid is aNo 2 taking the second defender with Brown/Mihocek as1 and Jacko as a floating forward causing confusion with the other forwards Fritta Kossie Charlie Melk Trac and if he ever gets a go firward Joel Smith.

Agree like Brown but Mihocek is the medium who plays tall and still good on the ground that would be best now I tjink about it I also believe just now we should make a play for Shane Edwards Who has the Outside run, footy smarts and the experience That our mids need to be as good as A group that their ability promises.

Time fir a few home truths then from Goody PS this is being Ruthless!!!9

OD that's not what Perty said in the email. We are self sufficient and don't want or need AFL help. Yes we are not a Big Club in Victoria like We were in the 50/60's In our glory days. BUT we have the potential at the G to have blockbusters as in 2016/17/18 more than the Roos Dogs Saints. What this complaint is really small change snd I would rather the Club concentrate on the Footy side to get that better and other issues like headquarters, etc. 2021 is vital in all areas but nonesofar as how many wins and Finals participation to get the Turnstiles and fans up and about.

Well HFF when have these reports been and where? An announcement on the 46 Tram to Coburg by a Melb masked staffer ??? what Radio tv or other news item did you glean your information? Interestingly I dont think you reported this prior to his decision snd no other D/L ers have heard or stated what you are now claiming and what if we are paying Say $50,000 over 5 years ie $10,000 more is that a crime? Many of Geelong's aging recruits have wanted and indicated prior to negotiations that they want to go there (without knowing exactly their salary ) ie just wanted to go to a successful Club ( as with Hawks) . By your post you obviously don't want Jack in 2021 as no indication of the potential carnage and morale damage is on your radar! What I said in my post is what Jack has basically said re team play and no matter what We think about say Goody there is already hope of greater vision and creativity in the Box on Match Day. Time will tell Re Jack and our results but you have not established any credibility that your post has much truth or fear that we have committed a crucial sin in retaining our most passionate, fiery and brutal competitor to play Most of his career out seeking redemption for over 50 years Of frustration and mediocrity.

Well Jack chose US, How go you know he is getting more $$$ here than at Cats? Presumption I imagine. Jack did what he shoul do test the market and not surprisingly decided to stay. As all loyal Dees fans we should rejoice Jacks vision still for success here and just think about the ramifications if he had deserted us. And no matter what we say about his ability there is no doubt we are a better team With Jack in it. Its up to Goody and the Coaches yo get him to select the first option and kick more right foot BUT overall to get all our midfield stars and assistants playing as a team which maximises our ability. Do that and you/we will Not talk about the above issues. Much easier than trying to recruit a replacement however if we do that may I suggest Shane Edwards of the Tigers might be open and gettable is at a fair price fir ability etc.

And your remark about Hill in finals wasn't a bit (silly) You obviously forget his Hawthorn heroics For about 4/5 years in the big games!!!

Maybe not our No 1 choice ( Cameron preferred) but Brown is better than not at all. Its all about the number of sideshows you can get into Sideshow Alley ie Weid Kosi Fritta Trac Jacko Charlie Baker Maxy Tommy AND Brown. That makes us More unpredictable and harder to play against.

They weren't the best at the time he left but I have no sympathy for Bucks.

Sorry Deanox it is ! How come Burgess has to pick out that he should gain 3 steps and kick The ball. He has looked much better attempting that Since midway through the season. Part of the issue is the connection between all parties in the centre and to be frank our clearances with such players is underwhelming and needs to be improved fir us to go to the next level BTW I love Clarry but he still has another level to go to if we are to be in the premiership race from 2021 on.

If it's that simple why aren't we doing it now? Your plan sounds simple and straightforward UB but it seems To ignore that there are opposition players out there as well.

And who would you replace him with AF ? Brown ??? We are short of key position players that's why we need Brown as well. And Petty to play!

Still haven't answered my question PF What is the bite going to be ? Tell us all Why are you predicting doom because of this ONE decision that if not completed NOW would have set our future 5 years Back irreparably and the momentum gained in 2021 ( more than many are finding in their reviews ) especially with our IMO elite draftees Riv Dogga and Kossie, and youth eg Lockhart Fritsch plus Sparrow etc. Our development of players is far more a worry than you classifying one of our true legends resigning fir 5 years a disaster !!! Mark my words this will be a filip fir all if you really look at the counter side of Jack not recommitting. But prey tell WHY it will be so Biting for us??? PF

Now is not the time to Be weak in trade dealings We need to be creative as our list needs Polec and Brown so we may have to give something up For both.$

Clearly he does what the Coaches want and we don't see it DJ We need a 25% lift from Jack Gus and Harmesy and Swallow given some extra opportunities to blend in fir our midfield to reach its capacity and flag potential ability.

It's not logic it's just lazy approach No mid needs to go to from Melb We just need better coaches with our players to utilise our talents .

So you are saying this time next year we will all be wanting Jack to leave PF? Only your opinion but I admit we have to sort out his style of play and our mids link with and take proper advantage of Maxy's ruck work. Need new midfield coach to bring fresh approach.

No one needs to leave We need 6 or 7 good mids not 4 or 5!!

Great work Dees well done Jack fir life!! appArently you are Turning into a right foot kick just to conFuse tacklers. Make it a great 5 years wth some flags to bootJack.

Sorry SF don't share your misplaced cynicism about Charlie. Who FWIW has improved This seasonand I expect Further more and rapid standard in 2021 and beyond. Charlie is a very clever player with good/great disposal skills Yes he could get more use of the ball some times but I have faith in him (and the Coaches) That he is in a linear path in form and development. The boy is Nearly a Man and watch out in future. Definitely deserves a contract fir 2021 and maybe 2022.

Well we have Max Trac Clarry May snd a very stubborn coach !!!

Why take risk if Brown is available

If he isn't an outside runner I haven't seen one . Brilliant and breaks lines and is a lovely kick or pass. Different runner to Ed who goes more around corners some times but Jarrad is full bore fir the goals or a pass to a firward. Great get just his attitude may need a little reshaping That's why players change Clubs yo improve in a different environment. Saw him years ago when played for Lions snd still has that lethal run and left foot plus a good mark fir his size. Absolute no brainer fir Jarrad forget Isaac Smith as he has 5/6 years still not 2!

Spargo deserves the time as he is a clever footballer who uses the ball and generally tackles well. Does need to be more consistent but I believe his upside is good enough in his 4 th year to give him this year to improve further. 10 disposals from him are more useful than the same fir Hannan AVB ANB ( different style of player admittedly ) and Bedford ( at this stage). Kossie is of course the pick of the smalls.
