The problem is, it’s only Tom who’s expected to do that.
-
Gee, he looks very good there
-
It won a flag 4 years ago, we celebrate it and we have to evolve. If you don’t believe Viney and Clarry are a large part of the current problem, I’d like to hear what is?
-
No chance this is true, would have been a throw away line to back up some other agenda
-
He also played the exact way Viney/Clarry do, that’s not what we want coached
-
Undoubtedly, the next evolution will be a defence based game but this current style of game was created to open up our gamelan - very effectively, I might add. It’s all cyclical. No matter what we try and do, we need better skills across the park to be able to execute the very thing that wins games, kicking the ball through the big sticks more than the opposition.

A tall flanker that plays like a forward would be spectacular, where do we sign?
-
He has to be given a chance, purely because he’s got some confidence up. Neither of JVR & Fritta are attacking the ball in a way that suggests they think they will mark it. Goody’s stubbornness at selection could well be the thing that undoes him.
-
So as everyone is suggesting/seeing, the tail is wagging the dog. Appreciate you responding
-
An interesting little tidbit from Goody’s post match presser, he mentioned we went to Geelong and tried to take away ‘some of their game’. The pile on around the uncontested marks will come all week, deservedly so. Of all teams, Geelong is not the one you hand the ball to at will. Has a coaching group ever got something so wrong, tactically?
-
Top 5 ball winners today for GWS, wouldn’t be many wasted possessions between them - what a glorious luxury.
-
@goodwindees seeing you often have good mail, what’s the mood like behind the scenes with the on ball group. Seems like they are very resistant to change
-
I don’t know what’s going on behind closed doors but we are absolutely devoid of confidence and this was evident from Round 1. Track watchers were praising the dare and dash displayed all summer and yet we’ve barely made it to the start gate. We are witnessing one of the greatest falls from grace in sporting history
-
Not a lot of desire here, seems like we are in honourable loss territory
-
What are the odds of Kossie being a little over-enthusiastic and getting suspended again? I can feel it happening
-
What was true in Under 10’s is still true now, it is not conducive to performance to be sitting around waiting, particularly when it’s cold
-
Pretty tough ask to sit in the cold and watch for 3/4 and then have an impact?
-
They also clearly believe in where they are going and what it takes to get there, that is enormous. The efforts from our leaders in 2025 suggest there is a very serious disconnect, this isn’t about poor form it’s a complete lack of buy in
-
There’s been numerous comments (possibly @Pennant St Dee ) About his knees being absolutely shot.
-
I can absolutely see the merit of it from a purely competitive position but contest and defence is the least sexy thing in AFL. A very large portion of this board is died on supporters lamenting our boring and negative style.
-
I doubt the Pies care about that. They have been ‘too old’ for years and it’s not stopped them yet We are in danger of becoming very St Kilda like
-
I think the Pies could bottom out and quickly skip back past us. They never have trouble attracting players and will forever be a destination club. If we go full rebuild mode, it could well be the death of the club. With an aging supporter base and a gameplan that is not attractive for the next generation, things could get very dark, very quickly. To win games now and in the foreseeable future, we are more reliant than ever on Trac/Gawn/May being fit and heavily involved. By the end of 2027 I doubt we have any of those three playing, without even considering Clarry & Pickett.
