Too many rubbish winners, Neale a two-time winner while Bont hasn’t got one? Give me a spell.

Saved them from his own poor decision making on a couple of occasions, and also didn’t. Might’ve technically hit the target 82% but put his teammates under the pump with most of those. He’s been good but that wasn’t his best, most of this year hasn’t been his best.

On the flip side that would also mean Zorko gets to lift the cup 🤮. Swans for me..

Everyone bags us for not recruiting a key forward, how many years have the cats scraped by without a ruckman? Lions’ ruck had his arm fall off and the cats still couldn’t get the ball out of the middle in the second half.. Scott is good, but his main game is have a bunch of guns and let them do their work. Unfortunately yesterday he backed Stewart who was woeful apart from one tackle, Danger also not great. Should’ve picked De Konig.

It was Weightman, grabbed Pickett’s arm and tried to milk a high contact/holding the man free - correctly not paid to the little con artist

Are you charging by the post for this campaign work @Hawk the Demon? Hopefully it’s not a success fee for getting the Lawrence ticket up at the AGM cos I’m getting the sense popularity is going backwards each time you recycle the same material on here..

Where is this documented may I ask? Depends on a number of factors, wait and see what is announced I’d say

Definitely bit off more than we could chew a lot in the second and third, don’t have the skills to be trying to hit 30m kicks into the corridor so no idea why they kept trying it. Paxy has the strength but I don’t think they have the speed anymore to get their hands on it in the middle, gets left behind a fair bit.

And we only get one of the current bottom 3 this year. Unlucky..

Stick to your tedious posts about court transcripts, if you’re suggesting we only won the flag (by 74 points mind you) because of the bulldogs travel schedule and covid you can FRO

Goodwin overall % 2013-24 57.10% behind of the current coaches: McRae 68.92 (only 2 years), C Scott 68.32, Longmire 62.99, Hinkley 60.29, Kingsley 60.00 (1 and a bit years), Fagan 57.80% Goodwin finals % 50.00% Behind Mitchell 100 (1 final), McRae 66.67, Hardwick 62.50, Clarkson 61.54, Simpson 58.33, Beveridge 53.85 Equal with Longmire, Kingsley, Longmuir, B Scott, Voss 50% Ahead of C Scott 48.28, Fagan 46.15, Lyon 45.24, Hinkley 38.46 Record stacks up, we weren’t far off in 2023. This year was a downer for a number of reasons but we reset and go again with some tweaks to the coaching structure, some trades and pick 5, some fresher players. And not least importantly, the Robbo the slob doesn’t get to pick when we change coaches, he can get stuffed.

Perhaps you just made that fantasy up? Don’t be obtuse, just because the 3 of them are doing the review doesn’t mean they are joined together like Siamese triplets for the whole time.

You can be such a bore… yeah?

There are independent eyes, but there are also people who are responsible and accountable for running the club. Complete independence is also complete lack of accountability. I do understand the word external. And hypothetically if the Bombers go another 20 years without winning a final what happens to McCartney, Lewis and EY? Zip. Green and Pert are responsible for running the club, the buck stops with them. If improvement doesn’t come they will be out.

President and CEO doing their jobs and reviewing the operations of the club they manage, with external advice from selected experts in the field. Seems pretty reasonable to me. Alternatively don’t have a review at all, just ask you as you seem to know it all already..

If anyone knows how to stop our run of straight sets finals exits… it ain’t Ken! No thanks.

Now now, don’t go thinking about these things in a sensible way, demonlanders want blood and lots of it no matter how counter productive

Wtf are you talking about? Did you read the post?

I don’t think 200 games with the aints qualifies him to conduct an external review of our club

Not going to leap to their defence, but I’d suggest if you want to give them a piece of your mind get down to the AGM and give em hell. Cancelling the membership is a very indirect and ineffective way to communicate a specific grievance with how the club is run but very effective at harming the club.

I’m certain they know things aren’t great. But every member we get proves our value to sponsors, and provides weight when talking to the afl about fixturing and all other matters. Missing finals will already have an impact but those of us than can afford to stick fat should do so for the longer term good of the club.

Best of luck HT. As I said above I don’t begrudge anyone who has to make choices to balance the books. No shame in downgrading to an armchair/3-game membership either though if you can stretch things to that.

Write them an email, send them a lette, start a petition, mount a board challenge (just don’t take the club to court ffs). Do what you like but costing the club financially is counterproductive and will not result in greater success in any way. Yes. So what? Should I laugh and celebrate my own clubs troubles?

Anyone not renewing because they’re unhappy with board or management or a particular player is weak as [censored]. Financial reasons I can understand (although I would suggest downgrading to cheaper options rather than cancelling) but punishing the club as a [censored] protest against any individual(s) is childish and self-defeating.

That’s one option. Another is that they think they can create the story by piling on the pressure. If they can drive an external review that gets them a whole bunch of stories about the review, who’s conducting the review, what are the potential outcomes etc. Even better if they can get a sacking or two then there’s more clicks to be had. They smell blood alright and are going to keep going until they get something to happen, or someone else shows signs of becoming a live target.
