Roost it far

I’ve always been in the I’ll believe it when I see it camp. The business case was due now and I see that’s changed to end of year. Not happy Jan!

He also walks directly toward the right point post. It’s amateurish, walk straight toward the target, hold the ball steady and kick through it. It ain’t that hard particularly from 30m

I’m just pointing out that it’s not all bad. Incredibly disappointing that we have gone backwards at goal kicking and the same problems still exist but they are absolutely fixable. I’m leaning toward new coach but think that’s unlikely this year.

The funny thing is if we kicked for goal to the AFL average we’d be 8-5 so we’re really not as far away as you think

The land is currently completely wasted. They should be welcoming us with open arms. I’m an occasional dog walker there and it’s amazing that in the middle of a housing crisis we have a huge amount of vacant land surrounded by amenities and zero development. Who’s getting paid?

This is certainly the most likely. Will we be aggressive at the trade table, that is the question.

It’s so not a contentious space. It’s disused paddocks with a few dog walkers. The only reason we don’t get our home up is if Kanga has pocketed some cash and someone else is going to develop it. This is wasted space on all levels. A couple of ovals wouldn’t use half the available land. Get it done!!

Whether Goodwin is coaching us or not his salary remains in the soft cap until the end of his contract meaning we'd have to back end any new coaches salary out of next year so we could attract some new assistants. Replacing Richardson is a no brainer, can't imagine Goodwin taking that role but would solve the salary issue. Williams has to go because he's in charge of kicking straight, he's failed, see ya! I'd want the very best and most experienced assistant in the game. I don't want Simpson or Longmire, fatigue will set in quick with those 2, we need an 8-10 year coach. Goodwin will struggle to survive I'd of thought but who knows. A part of me thinks we signed up Kozz before we moved Goodwin on.

Our prime movers have terrible disposal and no ability to steady before disposing of the ball. Our entire game falls down because of this. We can’t go into next year with Petracca, Oliver and Viney all in the team. That’s the reality even I didn’t want to face. You can’t execute a game plan that requires good disposal with these 3 running around in the middle.

It’s because we need cleaner ball use at half back and as a mid he just bombs it like the rest of our experienced mids. It’s a huge concern.

Can’t disagree. That was schoolboy stuff today. In the end though if we kick straight in the third we probably win that.

Whilst I don’t think it will happen you simply can’t employ a coach who has this list bottom 4-6 2 years running. It’s simply not acceptable

Do they not eat in the White household?

What’s with our defence today?

If Kozz plays with us till the end of this contract we will be massive winners and

Rivers would get you a late first round pick in a weak draft so we'd instantly be worse off and then we'd double down and trade Spargo for a speculative third round pick and continue to be worse off. Do you even know how drafting and trading works because you ain't showing it. I'm not against trading anyone but it has to make us better.

Do we play him as a forward/ruck as hasn’t he largely been developed down back?

When ordering a burger with frozen fish it’s best to set expectations very low.

For Christ’s sake spare us all. Just stick to this weeks team.

Get out of bed on the other side Kev.

Kev, I think you’re missing what’s going on. Both Oliver and Petracca were top 2-5 in comp when we signed them. We paid them what they were worth and protected our assets with the length of contract. It hasn’t worked out perfectly but they remain very very good players. Pickett was being courted heavily by Fremantle. I’d agree that the contract is probably too long but I think the money is spot on, he’s an absolute jet. If down the track he still really wants to leave we hold the cards. He’s ours as are Petracca and Oliver. I think all 3 make us closer to a Flag than further away and to me that’s all that matters.
