And please please while you are at it, can someone plan to bring a true KPF sooner than later? Doesn't have to be Curnow or Hogan but someone proven and reliable.

Wouldn't it be better for the long run to instead focus on the future? For example bring in Kalani and develop him under the tutorship of Max.

We certainly don't look like we get a goal for every 5 entries in our fwd 50.

Goodwin IS NOT in our next premiership window. That also includes several senior players.

Maybe a symptom of the MFCSS?

Same from me, Spargo is not the answer and don't know if we can still use him effectively. Realistically he can only play at HF.

How are we going to cover the end of May and TMac careers? I think he can still be a May replacement down back. With Disco and hopefully an in form Lever.

Most of our forward are regressing in the last 18 months. JVR, Fritsch, Petty. The only exception is Disco.

Get the Dodoro special 😅

Hope is all we have 😅

But that stat kind of sugar coats on our ineptitude to convert goals. It would be more helpful to check our numbers per inside 50 entries. Don't be fooled by the behinds/goals ratio. For example the goal per inside 50 entry average in the AFL is around 24%. Meaning AFL teams get a goal for every 4 entries to their fwd 50. I am pretty sure we are not anywhere near that.

Oliver to Essendon, and pray we can get our pick back?

We may be in danger of losing some of our young crop if we insist in keeping Simon. If 2026 is just a repeat of 2025, under Simon, I can see names like XL or Langford starting to doubt their long term commitment to this club. If nothing more, a new coach may be enough to get those players excited about the future.

Viney won't be traded. It will be one of Oliver or Petraca

We are no longer in the "win now" situation. We must move on from the 2021 premiership window.

And Viney will be there too. And probably One of Petraca or Oliver. Can't see how we could transfer both of them at the same time.

One more stat to add to our misery. We are at 14% conversion ratio per inside 50 for the season. The AFL average is 24%. Awful awful awful.

No Petraca instead of Oliver as a trade option?

Send him to Collingwood. He was happy to hug and laugh with that #4 thug that plays in the white and black.

Don't forget Oliver's kick, can't even travel 15 m. Can't be gone soon enough for me.

Don't forget Oliver's kick, can't even travel 15 m.

Time to be ruthless and overhaul the midfield. We clearly don't/can't have 3 of Viney, Petraca and Oliver moving forward. We just simply can't water the young and talented core we have. Who btw are much more skilled than those 3 already mentioned.

Time to let this thread die.

Surely it will be same broken record at the presser by Goodwin. 🤢

So it looks like out putrid performance in goal Kicking has no father, so to speak. We hear from the HC they keep working on that, but nothing changes. Surely someone's position in the FD of Coaching staff should be shaky? Whose fault is this?
