58er

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.

Well OD you still are writing off YOUNG players OFF too early in their career. You expect players never to be given opportunities in other positions or are so impatient for success for some. Joe many of our current players have you written OFF ? About 25/20!! Will never make it Ate not AFL standard after 5/6 games !! Doesn’t show any thing to be a senior player ( after less than 10 games) Players need encouragement and time and patience and you don’t want to give them that. Yes we can make predictions but unrealistic chance of a fair go is not the answer. 2/3/4years is often necessary for proper player development. Far too negative and rushed with your opinions for an AFL Club yo develop it’s list.Msybe we need to trade a bit more fit ready made stars!!

That’s why he should play in the CENTRE While he won’t solve ALL the problems his pace and kicking and skills will help the connectivity with the forward line,

Agree

But he cameoed at CHF or FF some times. Time to get OUTSIDE help Seek advice from Brownie Lloyd Schwarta Neta Tom Hawkins Jack Reiwolt and brother Nick. Intrrbiew them and give them the rest of the season to coach the forwards individually and as a team. Simon has NO IDEA and the midfield coach should Be involved for connectivity issues.

Your humour is about as good as a politician’s in Canberra ie humourless

Is it possible that Howes Bowey Laurie and Woe are all being played out of position. Surely Bowey and Howes could be tried on the wing or half forward line! ? Could turn Woe into a tagged? And Laurie is he an on baller or elsewhere?

While I don’t agree Werridee with your comment re Clarry you can’t say with any confidence that Clarry won’t get back to his best. He was not a match winner on Sunday but clearly stood out as most competitive and tried hardest. Kossie should be asked to cut out the Frie socials [censored] and concentrate on his footy. I have no doubts we would have won Round 1 and it is quite conceivable we would have been level at 3/4 time on Sunday if he was playing. I know I challenged BBP on Kossie being missing being crucial in the results but we have not had or selected half forwards that have played well or are up to the task. Leaving Langford out of the 23 was another strange decision IMO. We are now really under the pump on Saturday and ALL will need to torn their attitude and form around to provide a stop to being 0-3.

Speaking of people returning under anew name. While it wasn’t a ban it’s a self enforced lay off with a similar return under a different name and the same autocratic style. Nothing has changed at all but the title !!!

2018 we did 4th.
