I think that even Kennedy could come out of retirement and do a better job than BBB, that's the sad reality.

All I am going to say is that I can't believe we couldn't get one decent KPF in the last two off seasons. It's been a clear hole in our list even after 2021. Isn't our team attractive enough? Surely we had some cap space to pay a decent 600k or so.

Viney is 29 Petracca 28 Oliver 27 Oliver has never been the most athletic player. Trac and Viney are bulls, but that means they don't really have speed so can get exposed on open field. It would be sad if at their age they are in their decline (I don't believe it),but it also begs the question on the development and training by the coaching staff.

There is not much we can do. Oliver a shell of his former self. Brayshaw forced to retire. Sparrow not the arrival we were promised. No more JJ or Harmsey. What else do we have? On top of that Petracca has to spend half the game in our fwd line because we can't generate goals.

That would be more a straight exit for Goodwin 🤭

It boggles the mind how a premiership team couldn't attract a half decent KPF two years in a row. I thought we had a chance with Georgiades or McKay, maybe a King brother. Nothing... Just Grundy and Petty to show for.

What players do you have in mind? Can we get Reid please 😅

Oliver and his off the field issues. Brayshaw retired. Sparrow not up to the level. We are short playing off JV and Petracca. And we need Petracca forward because our fwd line sucks.

I wish the podcast was live right now. Need something cathartic. Should we start contemplating a mini rebuild? We've got some great young guns but also a lot of veterans that are past it. Premiership window looks closed. We need also a revamp of the coaching staff, specially forward coach.

This, and the only * season was 2020. But of course all those supportes from other clubs trying to disregard our premiership year, are just jealous and wish they had won it themselves.

I understand that, and sorry you had to endure the dark years. But with this list straight sets exits two years in a row is mediocre tbh. GWS and Carlton have better weapons up forward unfortunately. And I am afraid that maybe even better coaching.

Come on a real contender doesn't lose this bad against a rebuilding team. It's not the loss as much as it is the way we lost, which started at selection.

Woewodin - heart and soul

Stop the asterisk BS please, I already have to hear it everyday from filth supporters. The flag was won fair and square, full Qtr and played in front of crowds. We should do a small rebuild this year, and again I would ask if we really want Goodwin to lead the new team from 2025 onwards? It'll be 8 years. Good years 2017, 2018, 2021 Bad years 2019, 2020 So-so years 2022, 2023 2024 is looking like it will fall in a So-so at best.

But we can't complain about the coach 😶

He doesn't look 100% fit and he will be 34 next year. Of course he will still dominate in some games but, how much longer can we expect him to keep going?

It may be time to rethink and plan ahead. Use this season to develop the team of the future. That includes what are we doing with our coaching staff (starting with the Ruckman who is training our forwards). I have some hope in our yourn guns like JVR, Taj, Windsor, McVee, Kozzy, Rivers. Maybe it's just the end of the road for our 2021 players like TMac, BBB, Petty (if his head is already in Adelaide), Salem. We could use some young talent in the midfield. Max is also starting to look past it, and understandably so, he's carried this team since 2015. It's gonna be a long season.

Goodwin's favourite

I loved his spoil running from 20 mts away from a certain mark inside our 50.

Worst is that he won't play next week, I wouldn't be surprised if we lose against St Kilda. Based on the performance today, and we'll have the excuse of the long flight to WA. You just know it.

Serious questions need to be asked to the premiership coach. For some here, he is untouchable though. Salem favourite son, goes in despite haven't player a full season in 2 years. McAdam not ready, gets selected.

Narrm record 1 - 4, surely time to stop using the name? 😅 Or find a different name.

BBB has to retire this season.

TV off, was enough of this BS for one day. Already had to watch my NBA team lose today. I'll just get Cosy, it's a frigid long night ahead.

Taj for Billings please, no more of him in our 22.
