Yes, but those are for the future. What about the now?

He had 2 off seasons to recruit a KPF, nothing happened.

I know I would expect better from my uncle.

Are you saying there are no ferals within the Carlton army? I have experienced both Carlton and Collingwood and are, in my view, at a similar level.

Does that mean we would have 75% odds to win the flag had we won last Thursday? Our way to a flag has gotten way harder, we had a chance to have one foot on GF day last Thursday.

I think he's got a point though, re the ferals. Carlton won't be an improvement on the Pies, probably worse. If I had a family with kids, I don't think I'd feel safe to bring them along.

Just a caveat, 2015 Fremantle really bottled that PF at home. 2020 is a bit of an outlier as a season (short quarters, playing in QLD).

Even worse to think his uncle was there sitting with those jerks (7 commentators) and he didn't defend his nephew.

Are you sure about this? I can only remember Hawthorn and Richmond in the last 10 years. And only once each.

You are right, It's not like JVR tried to punch him. It was just an amateur attempt to be physical, that ended up in a elbow to the chin collision. Medium impact as you pointed out.

Finishing top 4 has no value if we keep going out in straight sets. I'd rather be Melbourne in 2018, finish 5th but play a PF.

Never I used the word sack. I just said he would be under pressure. He's got a generational list so the expectations are high. The fact that we keep losing the same way since last year doesn't bode well for his coaching. Don't get me started on our lack of intensity in the first quarter.

And who do we have to replace him in our defence?

The tool even replied to the Deebrief TW account when they called him out for being a moron. He thinks he's so smart. Port and he can GF.

Wasn't he used by Beveridge to work on Alir Alir in 2021?

So are we comfortable with one Premiership out of this group? It's my view that GF or PF is the least we should expect from the talent this team has.

October 2021, Goodwin's record in finals 5 - 1 (1 premiership) September 2023, record is now 5 - 4 likely to become 5 - 5 (two straight sets in a row). Very dire outlook and who would've thought the team would be in this position back when we just won the premiership obliterating the opposition.

If the forwards are doing whatever they wish on the field, it would look very bad on the coaching group. So my first guess is that the players are being instructed to follow a flawed strategy, specially when we don't have a quality KPF.

They are following Ports handbook on Concussion Management.

Yes, it is a coaches job to be a motivational leaders just as much as the strategic leader.

I hope Goodwin is reading this. I am not very fond of the team naively taking the expected score stats as a "win" or an indication that things are OK and will sort themselves out.

Surely a mate that isn't a Collingwood supporter?

A magpie will do.

Any chance next week's banner has a dedicated message for Gus?

Surely Goodwin would be under pressure next year if this happens?
