I was there too when he kicked 10 against the Doggies. Saw many of his games, he was elite and a wonderful captain. Congratulations on your induction Garry, long overdue.

Clarrie played at his peak capacity in that 3rd quarter but obviously can’t sustain that level of intensity for 4 quarters atmo. This must have something to do with his lack of fitness and why he’s spending more time on the bench. The coaches would absolutely know where he’s at and what he is capable of right now. Whether he reaches his former stellar performance levels remains to be seen. Perhaps we have seen the very best of Clarrie but his next best is still better than most mids in the comp. His current handball to kick ratio in his last 2 games indicates he is trying to execute the revised game plan.

Goodwin should never have been handed the contract extension at 1M per at the time by Roffey & Pert. IMO it has hurt the club both on field & financially. Even if he were sacked & paid out where is the club going to find that sort of coin ? Whether Goody thinks he has papered over the cracks with 2 wins remains to be seen. The next 2 weeks will tell the tale I believe. Both games are winnable but if we slip back to the atrocious level of play the team shows in the first 5 weeks then game over imo. Our ex members have voted with their feet & not renewed. We are just on 10,000 members down on the same time last year. That is a million dollar hit to our bottom line right there & that is money that our club can ill afford to lose. And I don’t blame anyone not parting with their hard earned and not wanting to watch the dismal stuff the team dished up for 5 weeks. The scintillating start to our first half against Freo has given me hope that it can be turned around with the proviso that we start winning fourth quarters . We haven’t won a single one this season which does shine a spotlight on team fitness. Remember how we used to run over teams in last quarters when Burgess was in charge ?
That is gold ! If looks could kill….
He has improved so much over the last couple of years. His leg speed would have been invaluable for us. GWS are a quick side , I hope we can match them.
He’s quick, an excellent kick for goal and sticks tackles. Cost us nothing and adds to our depleted small forward stocks. What’s not to like. We wish him well.
A magnificent accolade for Neale and his family for their tireless work in raising money, and most importantly, awareness of this dreadful disease. I have lost two of my closest friends to MND and seen its devastating effect. Am so happy the Rev has been recognised in his lifetime. He will leave a brilliant and lasting legacy. Inspirational!
Some great ideas there
Can’t see Max, Clarry or Jack in your first team.
Just shows how far off the pace we are with our kicking skills compared to the Lions, and a game plan that is as ineffective as it is boring to watch. Lot of work to do in the pre season. The Lions played a daring and brave corridor game to perfection slicing up the Swans with their elite kicking and fast release handball.
Well said Binman. Totally agree.
