I do miss JJ. Granted his ceiling was low but he was a very consistent performer and his floor was good enough to be a starting player. He could've helped us so much this season in the midfield.

Fagan might be if he continues to fail in September. His list is ageing, specially in the fwd and backline.

North and Richmond

Were those players veterans? I have seen nothing but good character in our young brigade.

Goodwin probably will become an assistant after his tenure with us is done. As I mentioned before if we don't make a GF in the next two years, he shouldn't be offered a new contract. 2021 will be a distant memory in season 2026

Why wouldn't your mob let us get McKay? I am surprised he wanted to stay under Curnows Shadow. He could've been our star forward and Premiership player in 2023.

Cap space is more than good enough, I think he is a top 10 salary in our list. Anything else is just extra, late draft pick most likely.

What's with the MFC and KPF? We can't get one or have issues when we have one (Hogan). JVR please be the one 🤞🏻

I tend to think that we missed on McKay in 2022. I was begging for us to throw a massive deal in front of him. I guess I'll never know.

Too much money too soon?

I would try to trade Salem and/or Sparrow.

We also need to be ruthless in big decisions about some veteran players: BBB - retire Shache - delisted Hunter - delisted Salem - trade Sparrow - not sure what to do with him McAdam - same as above Tommo - gone to a new club

He shouldn't continue past his current two year contract unless we AT LEAST make a GF again.

@binman was still doubting we were done last week. Hopefully we can now focus on season 2025.

Some hope remains The best of Trac, Oliver, Petty, Lever, JVR, Fritsch, Kozzy, Rivers, McVee, Windsor, Langdon (he must re-sign) can still see us compete next year. Need two key players to be recruited in the offseason.

@picket fence screaming from the roof tops! 😆

We look soulless

Starting with that guy with the funny last name that is coaching our mids. I wonder if Yze would be interested to come back? We can give the other guy back to Richmond.

Just get 14th on the ladder. Still possible.

Our recruiting since 2022 has been putrid. McAdam not even ready for VFL. Hunter is a semi retired player. I hope we don't screw it this year or we'll be in a world of pain for a long time.

Though his kick was a bit poor, barely made the distance.

Yep I was dumbfounded when I saw TMAc fwd. Make it make sense.

Max and May can't play anymore after today. Need to conserve their bodies for one last season. Petty should play in the back moving forward. Turner and JVR in our Fwd line. Debut couple more kids in the next 4 rounds. Use wisely our draft pick this year, and need a 2018 like impact trading season.

Very disheartening looking at our player faces. They know the season is cooked and hard to be motivated to keep playing for 4 more weeks.

I have said it before, his failures in 2019 and 2020 after making it to a PF were telling. 2021 we had the perfect season, including injuries. 0-4 in finals since the premiership. All those finals played at the MCG. Goodwin's credit is well spent IMV.
