44 to 12 means out if a finals I presume.

Rubbish He was not just for the money and the team played fine on many occasions in 2016 and 2015. He had no choice to develop defenders and competitiveness but what had happened NO FINISHING and PACE have really been recruited to add to the base he laid. 3 years was never going to complete the team and although 2017 and of course 2018 provided a lineal development path game changes and style of recruits have held our progress up to finish the team. Javk Watts is a finisher as is Hsrvey Bennell also Kossie but Goody is so one dimensional and confused his lack of clarity simple game plan and devrlopment of our players has stalled any progress. NOW we are back to about 2015 with some potential on our list to improve no doubt BUT we need a strong Team oriented coach and a tough one to harness our young bulls who think they can play but really not running AFL footy in 2020.

Didn't they have a map ? Ridiculous reason if a bye!! That's a weak pathetic comment with no base or truth and you know it!

Agree 3 Dee we are lacking any confidence and ability to play with any conviction and style that makes even a reasonable season possible at this moment. I tried to rationalise during the week fir this result by the thoughts that we ARE NOT in a premiership window. Too many players are not producing under pressure and that includes "stars" like Maxy Clarry Lever May Tommy Mac Jack V Melk and Gus. We have some future players like Kossie Jacko Rivers Harley Fritschy but they won't develop properly or experience success if our seasoned players continue to get away with their efforts like today continually. Trac was magnificent today a Lone Ranger with Fritta and fir a while Hibbo had a purple last half. That horrible pass from Clarry to Trac Summed it up A disaster of skill and carelessness and just plain football DUMBNESS. Also the last 2 goals of the game to the Tigers indicated " of the great divide in all our defenders" that exists and why we let goals sieve. The ability is there but no cohesion and training of how to back up your mate take a handpass to get out of trouble. Is it any Wonder Jay Lockhart May not survive this initiation period down back As Goody etc will lose patience as he tries to link up with his teammates in defending our goals. Rivers will survive as he is of the ability and temperament and class required to withstand our frailties. The blame is IMO On Goody and the FD. Our stars look past caring at times although seem to try but in truth the efforts are disjointed erratic and each day we play NO ONE knows what we will get in performance. Our best is not poised neither sustainable or realistic and is punctuated by skill errors in the attempt to msintain the standard. We need a Hard demanding task master with team ethos to improve each individual AND importantly get a GAME PLAN That reflects our ability in today's modern AFL world. Bartlett and Petty need to have a word to Goody and Josh M of the time is now to develop players and the team not necessarily to win a flag but set us up fir success in 2021 and beyond. After Glen Bartlett's interview last week I thought he was very honest and realistic.But others need to be reminded of the job at hand and urgency! If any one questions my opinion fine BUT try and name any player on our list that he has improved since 2018 other than TRAC. Msybe that's why we have slipped so alarmingly in the AFL Club pecking order. Any one got Ross Lyons phone no as he is tailor made for our Club despite many people's opinion and perhaps lack of respect Towards. That's not enough to not give him the reigns based upon his record at two previous BASKET CASE type Clubs Saints and Freo!

Sorry SPC you are right about dying! In fact we all will do that in good or quick time depending upon our age and health. Wherther you choose to barrack for the Dees Or not will have no bearing when! So it's your choice to continue or fade away in support for the Club. One thing appears certain that if and when we make Finals after playing well we find many many supporters Come back on board not necessarily participating in watching or going to games through the downturn 2018 proved that! Over to you and sorry about your Dad.

Best Tigers after Tommy Harry died when we were under Roosy please bring those days back we had a CoacH with an idea about team footy and selection.

Won't increase Dees chances of winning based upon 2019

I was staggered when many D/L and the Coaches gave Jack Viney votes last weekend. Two reasons 1. He fell over when clear about a half dozen times and didn't get the take away 2. I can't remember ANY of his kicks reaching a teammate. Oh and 3. The sample played by RossLyon in not handpassing when a teammate was clear. BTW Rods said he felt we are not far off just need to smarten our teamwork and decision making. No doubt we do not play as we train and ifGoody is to survive we need to improve our 1%ers and teamwork in the games. Reminds me of the Cwood of about 2 seasons ago Couldn't buy a goal then overcame that problem and have been a top team since. Ross Lyon for coach for the above reasons if Goody dies not succeed this year as we have ability no doubt.

Agreed Kozzie There would be a game plan and accountability

Yes Buck but a mid match switch like Smith forward would not be too revolutionary which is what I would have done at least at 3/4 time with maybe Melsham at HB and more game time fir Angus and ball tome for Harmesy.

Agree Jam

I like Locky and Think he is part of our future backline with Rivers BUT to not address his failure in being caught twice (not once) then laughing would be irresponsible. To day he didn't cost us the game is not correct but at least 5 Geelong goals were soft in my opinion. Lockys 2 frees No defender on goal line and Duncan left alone At CHF both in the first quarter, are ALL match losing goals. Our defence has potential but I believe that O Mac as goalkeeper plus May at CHB and Lever floating and intercepting with Rivers on HB flanks and Lockhart with either Jets or Hibbo or Salem should be our best team defence.On occSions Joel May be better than one if the talls (Oscar ) for mobility. I think Salem is ok but is not an urgent footballer and elsewhere his skills may be best suited. The forward line is something else and a work in progress but it resembles a crowded marketplace or the Champs Élysées with about 8 roads meeting together Cant believe how Goody etc didn't look at Carlton separation of forwards that enabled one on ones with their Cats opponents and nullified their team football from the back. Seriously what input does Alan Richo A Goody and the defence coach (not sure who ) but we are so devoid of and plans to minimise our opponents it is so obvious it's disgraceful. The whole team plays dumb football Because there is no innovation by the Coaches. BTW I would have switched Smith to the forward line in the 3rd quarter or at least at 3/4 time to provide more spark and marking strength. Harmes full time back and more minutes from Angus and Trac on the ball. You have to Make things happen at times And Goody is footy brain dead basically on game day !

He isstill living Melb and it was half half jumper! Don't fret

Didn't he have a Rob too and Adelaide bottom on the jumper ?

Fritsch takes one on ones and Hanna took one in the third quarter just before 3/4 time in the semi vs Hawks in 2018 and late vs Saints at the G in 2017 from memory!!!

Agree about Viney to Selwood and perhaps Harmesy to Danger

My explanation for Harley is that his program management was already mapped out for a 2:1 play and miss at this stage. And this may be the plan fir the next block of three games till later in The season or occur fir the the whole season! Last weeks intraclub was matchlike In time And tberefore he has played 2 games and now needs a rest in his 2020 program. Liken it to a horse having a very serious track gallop if th races are cancelled and is on a schedule fir the major Cup races. The plan in fitness is not altered. I don't have any doubt what Goody said and it has proved truthful. Why doubt it Picket???and etc!!! Kossie Angus Jacko and Lockhart (or Jonesy for Jacko) I expect to be the changes. Nev is off the boil but will come back Smithy is very lucky but FD and Goody seem determined to give him a favourable run. Time will tell but I also hope he has to switched forward during the match. Maybe to win the game. We need to play well and be competitive vs Cats after last year and to get our season really started seriously. Win the rucks and mids go to town with pressure and ball carry so their defence is under pressure all day. Pace is one of the keys and ball movement essential and Kossie and Jay and Angus plus the wingers must play boldly. Lets see it will be fascinating. Go Dees

What hub? We won't be in another probably as we have already done 5 away games West Coast Carlton Essendon Sydney and Freo at a max there are 4 more away games maybe 3 so either 6 or 7 games will be at home MCG fir the rest of the season. They will qualify fir the $180/200 rebate from the MCC which is a godsend. Hopefully the Tigers Pies Hawks and even Saints games and maybe a crowd can come but unless over 25,000 forget any profit.Maybe Port at Alice Springs a good result ! It is a season they we must start by showing we are up and about and Sunday would be an ideal start. A win over the Cats puts them 1_3 and we are 2-1. Freo Sydney and Cats plus Dogs is a 3-1 Chance. Let's get our act together Dees in 2020 and show we are serious.

Stupid comment Hsving 3 teams share the one Venue ? Imagine if one player got the virus? Its Essendon by THREE with all the drama Thsts why we are singly alone at Casey!

Seriously what a bunch of negative nellies D/L has providing posts. like in life nothing was meant to be easy that's with fighting for. Hss anyone questioned the war years and flags then? Last time I checked flags counted as the same as in non war years and the Clubs didn't discriminate nor due the record books. It is what it is! HAve the attitude that we play any where any time and give everything because some Clubs may not And should care if you win it whatever happens. Afterwards don't devalue or Discriminate the Effort of the eventual premier!!! Oh and please don't bore the pages of social media with post after post of hard luck stories of inequality and Favouritism or chances lost due to fate!

Dies nit surprise me He has appeared as a bit if a loose cannon as a person and player He is also homesick and not a great decision maker obviously. Deserves 3/4 weeks out.

He had played 3/4 games prior then vs Swans WCE and GWS and maybe Suns
