2023 keeps on getting worse

Cox kicking a goal. I feel sick

As always love the pod guys and looking forward to a cathartic listen! The season ended because we can't kick goals. Is this psychological? Lack of talent? Or are we missing the Burgess mental edge he bought to the team and how do we get this back?

A lot of the issues are psychological and that’s what Burgess was so good at. We need to finally plug that gap next year. Forward coach is a must. Stafford must go. Get an established coach and put BBB in a development role next to them too. The guy brings so much to the club.

This. Surely something needs to be done here.

Same here but M12 was flat

Need to also add our fans are shocking. So quiet and sitting there silent with arms crossed even when we kick goals (rare I know)… embarrassing when the entire Blues members erupts for a goal and we only have 6 people stand up!!

There’s a real unhealthy arrogance in our group. They all think they’re superstars but they are just mostly average footballers who prefer playing golf. The culture needs a massive shake-up. And goal kicking practice.

He’s insane

Harmes once again worst on ground

Allergic to goals

Need to spend more time on basic football skills than playing golf. We follow a bunch of elite golfers that get paid to play sub-par football!

It might not be all his fault but fitness was a key issue and that’s his area. We looked smashed.

This. Clearly he pushed them too far and I've heard that from inside the club too.

Saw this coming after the Sydney loss so I've been mentally prepared the whole week. Still gutted. It's been said a hundred times but it all comes down to one word - fitness. As frustrating as the game plan is to watch, if they execute it with elite fitness and mental buy-in then we would have won every game including this one. This is what Goody is counting on. The problem is firmly with Selwyn Griffith. Despite him following in Burgess' footsteps, I've heard he has absolutely smashed them this year and it shows. He is also clearly missing the mental fitness edge too. Hopefully he learns from this and fast. Bring on 23!

First time poster, long time listener. Love the pod! Question I'd love your thoughts on that's driving me crazy... What is it about the MCG this year? It cannot be a coincidence we win almost every away game and feels like we've lost almost every home game at the G (the Carlton win was hardly convincing). Is it the Melbourne weather given nearly all the MCG games have been cold & drizzly which leads to the frustrating fumbling we keep seeing? Do we need the warmer conditions to execute cleaner? Keep up the good work & go dees!
