Sorry kids

I feel JV has been praised and encouraged for his tremendous endeavour all his footy career but because of his courage hasnt learned a lot about other players and the flow of the team game. And then being made Captain which tells a young person he is well on his way to being a complete player has been damaging to his development

The players are scarred and it is going to be a massive job to fix. Some wont get over it, others will get sick of it. Standby for big offers coming our star players way. Max and Oliver in particular.

On ignore

I woud have kept playing Preuss with strict instruction to run run run. Get him match conditioned this year.

lever is well, well ahead of himself.

Saints had good players out too. You are talking schoolyard stuff and not looking at the issues

Lever. Ordinar good player.

Would it have hurt to have continued Preuss footy development for the rest of the season.

he is part of Goodys SA crew though.

Hype about new fitness bloke means little. Around the 5 minute to go mark, Brayshaw then Harmes, then Frost handed the ball back to the Saints from defence to attack transition. Nothing to do with fitmess. All to do with skill, gameplan, temperament and lack of fear of the coachs reaction.

Do you have a go at people when they barrack at the footy. This is not an English class.

I wish this blioke all the best and expect to see improvement. but not seeing how his record stacks up against the hype. Has any side he has had control over had ultimate success.

Just watched Goodys press Conference of today. Not a criticism of him personally because it clearly is a personal trait/compulsion but has anyone else noticed how he learns to the left and touches his left leg when questioned. He did it eight times in todays conference. It makes him look fidgety and nervous.

Wish him success. Comes well qualifiedd with a query over his previous length of stay at other Clubs. Another South Australian connection for Goody, Mahoney and Viney, interesting.

Fancy a coffee after school.

Likely Scenario in search for a new ground. A couple of officials of the MFC are warching training. An errant kick goes out on the full at the south end of Goschs Paddock and bounces end on end towards the freeway and river. In an instant one official says to another. There is our future. I can see it,. world class facilities up against a freeway and bordering probably the busiest Rd in Melbourne. Only at MFC was the one of answers we settle on right before their eyes all along

True, and there is no plan by Melbourne Victory to move there Senior training base.. Just wishful or fanciful thinking.

I do not think we can be seen doing that, but not against the occasional and timely run there to add a spark.

Yes I suppose it does, unless....... no I will not go there.

Yes, it makes it sound like they are all doing us a favour, not as a job requirement. What bothers me about the it will all rectify itself next year mob is that our players live in a real world not cotton wool. We could have injuries in the last games or over the pre season. There could be drama over the pre season with player behaviour, mental issues or dozens of other things. Every other side will review their 2019 season and adjust their game style and lists. We can not be planning for a clean slate for the opening round next year.

Lyon has stoked the fires The team and Goody are under the microscope Saints are qquietly panning away Big, big game coming up. For me the thing to watch will be the subtle changes to the game plan and playing styles based on the opponent in front of us.. Recently our answer to getting beaten is to charge at the ball even harder a bit like a kid thinking he can knock a wall down and if he does it a bit harder next time it just might fall.we still now have lots to play for.

Cheers Macca. As a kid I was in the cheersquad, then during my teen years as friends dropped off so I would often go on my own in the outer or with my Dad who was a kangas supporter.. When my kids came along we sat in the AFL members for many years. So I have always had my own views away from the insider view of the Club. Over 55 long years I feel i have got a feel for how we are traveling, I had it most strongly with Northey, a fair bit but a little less so with Danahier Maybe I am right maybe I am wrong but while we have to be somewhat patient especially with player development we are in a race against time to set the Club up for the next few decades. And decades may go slowly in our work and family lives but not so in the world of AFL footy where it is easy to lose a decade or two.

This is fair from a friendly site. So I feel sorry for the girls out there. No one gets a welcome when they first post. Actually I think the opposite happens. Some of the old time posters jump on the new posters while ignoring the same or similiar posts from more senior members. Some want to argue the toss with everything said, others are the type who take large scorebooks to the cricket and pencil in every ball, you see it by the way they jump on any thing they is not written in stone and could be opoen to interpretation. And now we have another crisis brewing that some of us saw coming with one of our favorite sons calling the Club out.

Not clear on why you took issue with my comments.
