Goody has definitely got better at press conferences. He doesn't scratch his leg obsessively anymore and he does sound confident trouble is saying it and the players hearing it are 2 totally different things looks to me like the messaging just isn't getting through anymore. I know change doesn't happen overnight, but this game plan was worked on last year and this pre season. If it hasn't come together at this stage, the likelihood of everything clicking is far less. Time for change

3rd quarter of 2021 granny. It was legendary

Relating to Tracs injury i've been seeing a sports physician recently. He happens to be a pies supporter but has worked with AFL teams previously. We got talking about the trac injury. He said there was no way the dees medics on the day could have known of the severity of the injury. He also laughed at the notion the pies players could have known. He said they would have had no idea. It was a terrible freak injury Trac sustained. Perhaps our comms with trac and his parents could have been better but my bet any investigation will exonerate our medics.

Clarry is also a manchild

She’s a disgruntled employee. Her parting left a sour taste for many of the list apparently.

don't know

he's out of contract end of the season. no sign of the doggies offering him a new one

Player agents are full of [censored]. I pay zero attention to what they say.

i'm not sure recycling former head coach's is the way to go. Voss has flamed out at Carlton and i can't remember too many recent examples that have failed in the role originally but succeeded a second time. I reckon Leppistch is a great assistant but not what we should be looking for in the head role.

he's been on the board for 5 years. he deserves his share of the blame

i'm not sold. the doggies have never finished in the top 4 despite the list they've had including a rolls royce midfield i would prefer a fresh up and comer

and i hope he's taught how to dispose of the footy properly

No he hasn't his form is well down for sure but he has definitely not been coasting.

its not just Goodwin. the board have been negligent as well.

We are where we are because of complacency. Hard decisions by the people entrusted to run the club should have been made but weren't. Last year was alarm bells but i thought Goody deserved another season to try to turn it around. Turns out i was wrong. The people who should have known went with the easy option and retained the coach. made easy decisions like bring in a plainly unqualified Nat Jones to coach our midfield. Ran an external review for optics purposes. Poor decisions in hindsight. We need a CEO asap and we need to start the search for a new coach yesterday. And we need to try to manage Goody's exit in a dignified and respectful manner. He's been a great coach for us but the game has passed him by.

Any idea who it is

Words won't sooth or assuage anybody. no matter what he says people won;t be happy. The only way to respond is on the field. Sadly, i have no faith that our performances can turn around. Our method is shot, our players confidence on the floor and a coaching team devoid of ideas. i expect the next major comms will be around kings birthday for Goody's farewell game.

Thankfully i'll be in flight heading back to the old country for a stint so will miss this game. and the next 3-4 i'll also miss the rest of the clown show election campaign silver linings

I couldn't care less about his extra marital activities. I want him for his footy nous not to preach about morality.

hawks have limited the percentage damage well. might even get to within 15 points or so

not even the saints are that stupid a late first rounder and paying some of his salary is the best we can hope for

Seeing the arrogant hawks get pumped is a lovely end to the weekend

i hope Port can keep this up and beat the snot out the hawks

performative ranting rab. it's to attract clicks do you look any of the EPL fan channels? they're toxic and make DL look like the height of politeness

steven smith needs to get to grips with the situation pronto (i'm sure he is behind the scenes) caretaker coach to try and lift the veil of despondency that has settled on the playing group make sure new CEO is in situ july / august so he/she can get a sense of the place, maybe even run a proper external review this time. getting ready for the trade and draft period is the challenge. not sure we can get everyone in and aligned before then
