Roost it far

Why not try Adam’s, Howes will get smashed, this could get ugly quickly

In I think we’ll get beat by 65 points and I feel that’s being kind.

No they were all inside 50 but the kids nor the parents could find them. Turned out they were all out of bounds in the forward pocket.

Things I'll be putting on the whiteboard pregame Effort 2 way running from the HF's, HB's and mids, we simply have to get back to help the defence otherwise we're toast. Tackling and Pressure not to fall below 180 and regularly pushing 200, I want gang tackles, I want the occasional free against because we went too hard. Forwards leading Oliver, Petracca, Rivers and Viney looking for a forward or inside handball. Oliver and Viney banned from kicking. Petty to make Treacy earn every touch, like really earn it. RUN, RUN, RUN. Give me that and I'll cop a loss but it'll be close.

It’s not like he works so hard he’d be tired 🤓

The Pies aren’t that fast they just move the ball quickly. Constant movement forward then if they cough it up they get back and force the opponent down the line. They work incredibly hard.

Take it as a sign.

After watching Collingwood dismantle Brisbane, nothing about football excites me.

Get it forward, our run and out compete the opposition.

It's not just Goodwin, we need change across the entire club I think.

I'm offering the fitness guru at Collingwood a contract, at least one assistant from each of Geelong, Collingwood, Sydney and Brisbane a contract and one of them can replace Goodwin. It's not about the players right now it's become a coaching issue, settle that first. Watching Collingwood last night made me realise how far off it we are currently.

One of the reasons he's become such a good player who's long been underrated is he knows his role in the team. I'd bet my last dollar if JVR played for Collingwood he'd be a 60 plus goal kicker right now. That's the issue with our club atm, we're starting to destroy careers. Bar Chandler and Bowey everyone else has gone backwards. Even Windsor barely gets a touch atm. Rivers has fallen off a cliff, Turner barely gets to the seniors, Petty is a shadow of the past player, Fritsch won't go near it, the list goes on. These are the guys who should be leading our club right now, instead we're hoping Gawn, who can no longer jump, will last forever, that May will suddenly recapture form we haven't seen since 23 and Lever is injured as usual. We need to turn this around fast. We are miles off the good sides and even further behind if you look at the club as a whole. Yes I'm despondent. I love watching footy and I expected we'd maintain a standard as Geelong and others have done. The template is there. We didn't evolve, we didn't keep adding better and better people, we tried to stick with the 21 model which was dead at the end of the 23 season. Time for some change is probably now but I hope we're looking at assistants and managers from Geelong, Sydney, Collingwood and GWS.

It's really sad that it's come to this. They run so hard both ways and just get the ball forward with handballs and kicks that aren't always perfect but they are just always about in numbers. Hope to hell they fall over at some point.

Neeld?

We’ve had one high in 57 years!

We need some Collingwood people at the club

If we finish second bottom and the Pies win the flag I’m giving up.

So McVee is playing at Casey yet Tholstrup is playing one’s. I’d play them both.

This doesn’t make sense nor does dropping him against Fremantle

Highly likely it’s going to be ugly. The best we can hope for is we flood back and stop them scoring

It’s not always about who replaces them. Viney doesn’t warrant a game atm, that’s the statement I’d make. Give Culley a run.

We’re going to get fair dinkum belted. How did the coaches manage to kill this team?

Chris Scott has one of the most, if not the most, professional organisation at his back. Look what Goodwin has. It’s been the bane of Melbourne coaches since the 60’s. We remained amateurs and it’s showing again.

I’d love Davis at the club but think he’s pretty settled in Sydney

Apparently Nigel Lappin is also good but Leppitsch is the one we want as assistant.
