Why do people think the these 'habits' will disappear. Where's the evidence? These guys have been playing football for 15+ years. Goodwins been coach for 3 years+. But suddenly, theyll become good decision makers by coaching in july 2020? At what point do you admit its just not in their dna (which has other great attributes). Rightly, the coaching emphasis is on 'foward connection', but if you're not an instinctive excellent decision maker like pendlebury etc players end up getting confused, nervous, in two minds. Which we're starting to see a lot of. Simply must change the coach, the game plan or the personnel if we dont see results by year end.

Our list needs a quality key forward. This game illustrates it yet again. And we need to sacrifice a contested midfielder. Dominating inside 50s and contested possessions is a game plan that is not working with the current list

We have only one guy on our list who has kicked more than 35 goals in a season. Once. We have abundance of contested mids. Viney + 1st rounder for jeremy cameron (via essedon etc) has to be a year end consideration. Fwiw, in 2018 we were 9-6 without jv. He's a fantastic player but if there's one team in the afl that can give up an inside mid for a key forward to correctly balance their list, its mfc.
