Then we are asking a 31 year old who hasn’t played first ruck for two years to ramp up back to 5th gear…

We can hope.

If you have to ask, you’ll never know.

Says the man with 4 exclamation marks in a row…

Especially with those years he spent at San Quentin… maybe 5th rounder

Yes, I was at that game and he did do a good job in phases of that game. But it doesn’t come naturally to him. Jake is much better at it.

Sydney will be a show for a home final so they will be motivated. We won’t be motivated by the ladder unless two results surprise. It will have an impact. Turner is an odd one. They obviously rate him. Not sure if it is a berth in a QF but we will find out. Smells like a late out to me. The non-selections are telling but we can talk about that in another thread. Fritsch us to come straight back in - he is our best forward and can play taller than he is - I think (in fact I know) he gets lazy when he is the lone tall that is deep as he tries to hold ground and grapple and that is not his game. Get on your bike and turn your bloke around and keep him busy. Melksham being there is great for Fritsch because he is terrible as that negating forward against interceptors. All in all - I think it’s a weird team. I don’t think we will win and I don’t really care as long as we gear up for that QF in land of the gods with a forward line that tries to function on that small ground.

Goodwin has travelled through a river a [censored] to hopefully enjoy the last three years and the next three years - why he is he moving on after 10 years, to allow Yze to coach? I just don’t see any other coach this decade.

Ironically enough, both of their fans are, in fact, engaged. Beautiful story. Ugly set. But beautiful story.

Yes, you see Jackson it all started in 15th century BC and the invention of lying…

Some smart people AGAIN been taken in by the charlatan of all charlatans… I can laugh at the ridiculousness but for posterity:

He has coached 156 games for Melbourne and 1 for Essendon. He will be passing Neale with this contract extension. https://afltables.com/afl/stats/coaches/Simon_Goodwin.html

Yeah no worries

Mate, he has finished the last three years with at least a home semi in each year. We are not getting rid of him next year after one downer year, so why not extend? It’s brain dead unless you give credence to Mick Warners life work to discredit Goodwin and get him fired for being human.

On the blower to out west most likely

North down by in Tassie could take care of a tanking GC…

Laurie was a mid as junior and Woey a wing IIRC. Also we have ND4/5 coming our way - they need a spot to compete toward.

I would prefer we blood another midfielder with Jordan’s minutes. I don’t see anything elite in his game.

They are educated through the contacts she has with agents and footy depts. The guess part comes when, as @old55 would say, there is a bit of water yet to flow before October.

20 mins of bliss and tears. This club the last 3 years… like a Disney film… in that we had to remove a caricature of an individual to live happily ever after…

Speed forwards, Stafford mentions it all the time. Aren’t we supposed to listen to what the people club say?

If Pies are to tank, it would have to be heavy Soviet-era tank; Essendon are that bad.

Yeah, I agree, we have improvement in us but as a warning and a possible explainer for an impotent September, it’s important to note where we’re at. As for Rivers - it is so important we keep him free to ignite.

ND4 still on but the Reid deal is dead now. All good. Chucking a bonafide young talent into this team will be fantastic. They may dangle ND4 to get a star KPF and I would encourage that but it would have to be a game changer. McKay after a medical on his shoulders, Naughton after a medical on his knees, but I am naming those two without knowing what talent is there in U/18s.

I would tell them to lie down because I would have murdered them Dont give me hope like that DONT DO THAT TO ME
