  1. Because Salem and others were 'untouchable'. One of the worst things this season was our coaching staff seemingly rewarding players down on form or hampered with injuries based on their 2021 output.
  2. I know it works both ways, but still a bit stiff for the clubs (any club nor just the MFC). I guess we shouldn't draft anyone from interstate or with ties to Geelong then 🤷🏻‍♂️
  3. It looks like many second and third year players are leaving their clubs. I sometimes wonder, what's the point of the draft then? You invest in a prospect, develop that prospect only to lose it to an interstate competitor? It really sucks to lose Jackson at age 21,; if you ask me, it can't be good for the league What if we lose a flag playing against the team that poached a potential star like Jackson? In our case we took the risk with Jackson and now another team will reap the rewards of having Jackson on their list.
  4. I guess it's not always the same ... You'd have to look at the context of the situation to be able to determine when a player has done wrong by the club. I believe the issue with Jackson is that we drafted him and it's been just 3 years, hard not to feel angry about the situation
  5. One really annoying and IMO unfair thing is this AFL's draft system. Specially when I look at th NBA's or NFL's systems. Like this example, top talent is drafted by a club and the only guarantee you have is the initial 2 year contract? That's a load of crap for mine! (just like what we are experiencing with Jackson) What's the point of having good draft picks? Can't we have at least 5 years guaranteed for round 1 picks? Meanwhile the Cats can poach talent from around the league as they please... 🤮🤮
  6. Grundy is a big risk, and we would be doing a favour to the filth. Wouldn't it be better to transform Weideman into the second ruckman? Use the assets we get from LJ to look for some other much needed positions? Say a CHF or small forward?
  7. Hunt to the wing? Between Langdon and Hunt we should be pretty quick and explosive on the outside. Use Bowey as a link as well, Trac is explosive from the middle of the ground and kozzy plus Bedford in HF
  8. He's got a defensive mindset, kick to a packed pocket so there is less of a chance for opposition to hurt you with turnovers
  9. It may be a slow start but I hope and expect that if the team shows the high level intensity from 2021 and we have a good start of the season, supporters will come and join!
  10. I know there is no greater award than the Demonland player of the year, but please let this year be Clarry's first Brownlow 🤞🏻
  11. Senior players at the game, gotta love that! I think even Dogga is there?
  12. I've been pondering... Hunt and Langdon to the wings, Gus back at Half Back with Bowey, roll of a dice for the third HB between Rivers and Salem. 🤔
  13. Let's see how tough and proud they are next week when Geelong thrashes them!
  14. He's a nut job like his pal Zorko
  15. More like 3 out of 6. It's just my view, you may trust him blindly I just think he needs to improve a lot. He's got a generational list to not make finals every year.
  16. JVR what a big unit! Love his marking ability!
  17. Should the club go big on Harry McKay? He's out of contract next year I believe. He could have been ours, but instead we used our draft pick on Weideman... 😩
  18. I am not dwelling in the past, just laying out what Goodwin's tenure has been. I leave it to each supporter to make their own judgement.
  19. Yep, Goodwin is too inconsistent for mine. 2017 - Failure 2018 - Great but bumpy road to the finals and garbage PF (which he didn't bother to review) 2019 - Huge Failure 2020 - Failure (felt like 2017 again) 2021 - Perfect! But, was it more the coaches around him that made him improve? 2022 - all things considered.. it is another Failure Not sure what it is but I don't think we can say he is a top 5 coach yet he has a top 5 list. I would like to be proven wrong next year...
  20. I didn't go last night, because I couldn't afford it. I did go last week against Sydney, oh and to 90% to our home games in the H&A , so I shouldn't say a word or complain about the way we played in this finals? Don't be too rushed to criticise your fellow supporters.
  21. GF or bust ! At the very minimum PF. Anything else is utterly failure for this list of players.
  22. I haven't followed the VFL team much but heard good things of Woewodin, there's Bedford, Bowey... Hopefully the coach staff is braver next year and bring the kids in!
  23. If in 2023 with our current list, we don't make finals. Would you consider Goodwin being back in the chopping board? I just can't stop thinking how inconsistent the teams results have been in his tenure. And for mine, the list is too good to be wasted...
