TracWhack

This reminds me of West coast in 2006-2008. Won premiership, straight sets exit next year , rumoured issues at the club, their best player disgruntled and wanting a trade (Chris Judd). Bad News: Judd left and they finish last three years later Good News: they got Josh Kennedy their greatest ever fwd from the Judd trade.

I always compare our list to West Coast list of 2005-2008 Generational Rucks : Cox (WCE) vs Gawn (MFC) Generational Midfield : Judd, Kerr, Cousins, Embley,Fletcher (WCE) vs Trac, Clarry, Viney, Brayshaw, Langdon (MFC) AA Backs : Glass , Hunter (WCE) vs May, Lever (MFC) both very average fwds line. Both had 3 years at in the top 4 (with 1 premieship to show for it) albeit Eagles got to 2nd grand final (more than we did) ) . Eagles then fell away bad and up going bottom couple years later.. I wonders if history will repeat.

Goody has been a decent coach but his game plan and our list isn't built for modern transition based footy. (Especially our poor skills). He needs to work on to adapt to new game styles with the player he has... I'd give next year and we review and end of the season. New assistant coaches are needed and new conditioning staff.. I just don't think this list was generational to have Dynasty. We just didn't have any notable key fwds either to level or fit for post 2021. Dynasties have gun key fwds to bail them out of trouble Lions (Lynch/Brown/Bradshaw) Cats(Mooney/Podisadly/Hawkins) Hawks (Buddy/Roughead/Gunston) TIgers (Riewoldt/Lynch) We had Tmac and BBB and when they played together we were very good (last half of 2021/start 2022) before Tmac cooked his foot and BBB knee got worse. . Since then they barely played together if at all. And to be honest they don't hold a candle to other key fwds in sides I mentioned . In fact we haven't had key fwd that has kicked 35+ a season since 2018 Our only gun fwd was med fwd in Fritta and a young up commers with Kosi and JVR I think he done more than decent job with the cattle.
