Only if we send Petraca or Oliver to Tullamarine.

Do you seriously think that people are fed up with Goodwin just for today? I would ask you to go and read comments here in Demonland from 2023 and 2024.

He inherited a functioning list full of young stars. Got very lucky.

The nightmare continues, thanks Simon. After all the hard work during the off season to steady the ship and shut all the vitriol and rumours around the club, now Simon comes out and in 20 seconds reignites the pille on from the media. Bravo 👏🏻!!

Goodwin is an expert in saying a lot of nothing, can't stomach his pressers specially after a loss.

You're right Essendon will now tank hard. Is this year's draft list deep?

Funny you think we have ANY chance for top 4 this year. We'll be lucky not to give Essendon a top 5 pick.

But that requires a change in coach ... ,🤔

Not so much fluke, but everything worked perfectly for us. Unlikely to happen again. Our list became worse YOY, no idea why we were not able to attract top talent FA for the last 3 years. Besides Grundy who we dismissed after one season.

You are entitled to your opinion. Hard for me to see us compete (i.e win a final, which we haven't done since September 2021). I think we are in the cross roads of a potential rebuild. Which is not so bad considering the talent we have collected in the draft the last 3 years.

I did not say retire Gawn. I want to really think what are we going to do with our veteran players. Wether you like it or not they won't play forever. Are we rebuilding? Do we think we have even a remote chance to compete in the next 3 season?

Simpson reeks of Goodwin 2.0, it's a no for me. Should be more bold and try a new guy like Hawthorn did.

Our problem is that we won't move forward, like with Goodwin. That includes the playing list, as hard the decision may be.

Let's discuss Max more in depth. Do you think he's got the speed and stamina require for the current style of footy? Unless you make him a more permanent piece in our fwd line, don't see him being good come next year. He's been a great ruckman and thanks for your service but we need to move forward.

Wondering how Harvey Langford is feeling right now? Another great decision by Goodwin. Make him a sub then drop him. Bravo.

Play Langford, [censored] it.

Maybe some of our vets should also end their careers this season along with Goodwin? I can't see Max next year, he is not to the standard of the game anymore. Too slow. May ditto.

Chandler? You got to be kidding, he may have the desire but his executions ... 🤦🏻

We have McVee, Rivers can be good. Start building with the youngsters trade most of the vets, whoever has any value.

Greene must be swift tonight 🤞🏻

Skills are putrid, the same as 2023 and 2024 nothing has changed.

Never seen a team give up in Rd2. Season over. Essendon will get a top 5 pick.

Who would you like to see as our next coach? Any exciting young coach available? Discuss. Cheers.

The club has been expecting Goodwin to be a different coach, clearly won't change at all never.
