is there anything in life as reliable as the Casey gale. 3 goal per quarter breeze by the looks of it.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
Would take a ridiculous offer. If they offer Jordan Dawson as part of the deal perhaps

@picket fence would know how to deal with this.

Cool light of day
During the finals campaign of 21 we were purring. Moving the ball with purpose and freedom and belief. What inspired that? Where has that gone? We play with too much fear now. The balance is slanted too much towards defence in my opinion. I don’t know if its in Goody’s make up or not but the players have to be allowed to express themselves sometimes. There’s a weight holding them down the last 2 seasons. It’s all system system system. And system is important, don’t get me wrong, but players need to be let play. I think the straight jacket is impacting our decision making. We take the safe option or wrong option too often. And I might just be talking through my hat. But if I’m a player I’d rather die with my boots on than be caught out playing the percentages over and over and losing in the same way.

What's needed in 2024
I don't think the captaincy would suit Trac at all. Reckon it would weight him down. Max is captain until he retires. Yes he missed kicks last night but he has never been a good kick. Maybe someone like Rivers in a couple of years could be a good option once he has more experience.

AFLW: Rd 03 vs Western Bulldogs
I'm looking forward to watching the girls play as well. I love how they go about it. Joy to watch. I love Maxy and the boys as well but watching them play is draining. It's almost suffocating. I think we'll win big again today. The doggies have really fallen away the last year or 2. Dees by 30+ points

What's needed in 2024
1. luck with injuries in particular Petty. He's injury prone which is a worry. 2. Find a KPF from somewhere. No idea where from. 3. freshen up the game plan. We play in a straight jacket. show some dash and dare. Rivers the only candidate in the team that shows any. 4. some new assistant coaches. We need some new ideas. 5. Trade up for GCs pick 4 and take our 2 high picks to the draft. Bring in some high-end talent. JT will work his magic for us.

Yet another wasted season?
I don't think we were good enough to win this year. a record of 16W and 9L clearly demonstrates that. We weren't beating Lions next week. Forward injures cruelled us. And our game plan needs to be freshened up. We have no dash or dare. JVR was great this year. As was McVee. We developed some good young players so there are positives. Can we find a KPF from somewhere to partner Petty and JVR? I hope so

The Steven May appreciation thread
I know today is depressing but I don’t want his performance forgotten about amidst the doom and gloom. Magnificent last night he can hold his head high. Keep his nerve when all around him was a collective clusterf. Curnow was a non factor thanks to him. Has been AA standard the past 4 years Wanted him as captain a couple of years back. We know he let himself down badly with that incident with Melks but boy he has turned it around. I think he’s the best traded in player we’ve ever had Will go down as a Dees legend come what may. I love your work Maysey. (mods: not sure if there's an old appreciation thread for May so feel free to merge if there is)

POSTGAME: SF vs Carlton
Selection can always be questioned and i don't think its the reason we lost. You can always talk up the potential performance of the player left out against the actual performance of the player that played. But the TMac selection just has to be questioned. He offered nothing. And not subbing in Schache. Bizarre decisions.

PODCAST: SF vs Carlton
Our game that is built for finals, can't win finals. Are we very close or very far, I'm not sure. Injuries to our forward line a big factor for sure but I'm with @rpfc. We need to freshen things up. some new faces around goody with fresh ideas. And gameplan wise take more risk. Keen to hear what the boys think.

Goody - Genius or insane?
There needs to be a shake up. Fresh faces with new ideas. but tonight is on the players. They flunked it big time.
