Roost it far

I thought Windsor was due back today and now Petty’s absent.

He’s a fill in before the very likely takeover by Smith, someone who should bring a great deal of stability and hopefully transparency and progress. His role on the board was clear and other than being on the board I can’t see his fingerprints on any of the past turmoil.

For those demanding training reports stop it, that’s my role on this platform.

I really hope the club comes out and spanks Freo. That would bring me great joy. Has a club who has achieved nothing ever been so cocksure it’s time is close. A couple of injuries, a drop in form and they’re out. We know that they know that they are no certainty to play finals.

Are we even bothering to train now the house is down?

Disagree. Ed can run all day. As a mid alongside Rivers he could well inject some serious run into a sometimes stagnant midfield. We also have Bowey, Spargo, Windsor, Billing’s, Sparrow, Laurie and Lindsay who can cover and possibly excel on his wing. Just because we’re exploring it and may experiment with it doesn’t mean we have to persist if it fails.

Please no

I think it’s a stretch to blame Brad Green for those matters. He was bought as a link between board and FD, he ain’t no kingmaker

Cornes isn’t that bigger clown

We could get Jono Brown down

King’s onto us

Oh no they’re on to us

$10 million covers you for life with standard money management, take a few risks with a portion and cover your great grandkids life as well. Play for the Dee’s on the G, priceless 😂

Or we take Hogan and win 3 flags on the go. Thats the Bang Bang Bang we need

Because who would seriously want to go to the Saints

I’d be chasing TDK with a massive offer 7 years $10million

For 2025 Great Win Today That’s 9 on the trot and 2 games clear on top

B: Lever May Salem HB: Windsor Petty McVee W: Sharp Viney Bowey HF: Langford Turner McAdam F: Fritsch Van Rooyen Chandler R: Gawn Petracca Oliver I: Rivers Sparrow Laurie Johnson Langdon S: Lindsay if this forms the bulk of our team for the bulk of the year and we hit September fit then the Flag is a distinct possibility. I’ve bonded those that can either go through the middle or can run all day or both.

Would have been magnificent to get him back and in the form he currently is. I'd take him over Ben Brown any day of the week and I'm surprised we passed if we had the opportunity to take him.

Still no word

Brayshaw isn't the player we should be chasing. I'd be looking at Fullbacks, Ruckmen and elite disposers of the ball with some pace.

Another day and no news. This is really tough.

Let’s just say that he’d decided to stick to the more attacking gameplan which he candidly admits would likely have been the best option. We’d just been absolutely flogged by Freo, then the next week lost Petracca. 2 things that would unsettle the best of coaches. He didn’t want to see us get opened up like that again and we switched back to an our trusted form. In the end we missed finals by a couple of wins after taking some very close losses to finalists in the last weeks of the season. He’s admitted fault but one thing I take you up on is this idea that our contest and defence gameplan is out of date. We built that plan around a defence with a fully fit May, Lever and Salem, we had none of those things for most of last year. We also had Spargo, Brayshaw and Ben Brown, 3 more players we missed. We also had a fit Oliver and Petracca for the whole season. There’s not a game plan on the planet that would sustain those losses and on top of that if you added those players back to our squad fully fit we would go very close to a flag playing our contest and defence game plan. It was never the game plan it was our personnel, we didn’t have the team nor the fitness to threaten last year. On top of this the club has since drafted to improve our ability to adapt our game plan. So what exactly are we beating on Goodwin for? I say that as someone who holds reservations about some of his decisions but seriously?

I can tell you for a fact that playing Spargo didn’t make his injury any worse. He had a chronic Achilles issue that required surgery. Charlie wanted to avoid surgery and believed his was right to play. He’s now had surgery and is progressing well in his recovery.
