Fair question if the socials guy actually knows what a 'memorial trophy' is.

Hahahahaha our media team is something else.

The fact that we're still making a big show about announcing the role in prelim week when two of the coaches we're interviewing are still at a live team makes it hard to believe that this result hasn't already been decided.

Poor sod slept in. We've all been there.

I thought everyone interviewed today and yesterday?

Nothing article.

Yeah he really benefited from our 2018 all out attacking style where he got to cheat forward a tonne. Not surprising he looks good at a strong attacking side like the Crows. Still the same player though.

Not particularly fussed about last touch. Most kicks and handballs that go directly out of bounds get called deliberate anyway. Might see an uptick in corridor footy but think teams will still default to going down the boundary towards contests when the ground is covered. Even if you turn it over it's just far easier to defend from that position.

I'm not really sure what you are trying to say.

I don't think Goodwin was a bad coach at all, but I do think he was limited and slow to adapt. After 2018 our attacking gameplan no longer worked and we took two years to work out a new way. Same thing the past two years we've been playing catch up trying to play modern footy. It's just too much time in the wilderness with a pretty good list the whole way through. Also think that with everything that's happened over the past few years off the field the club really just needed a massive reset across the board. Goodwin will do well at any organisation that hires him though.

That was a Craig Jennings idea wasn't it?

Didn't you see the channel 7 footage? Looked like he couldn't drive away from the MCG quickly enough!

Weird, I reckon he's the most insightful voice in the media.

At Casey, Caufield or the MCG?

He is in a very awkward position in how publicly he is connected to the position. If he gets looked over for another assistant it's not great for his reputation, so better for him to be seen to not actually want the job in those circumstances. I think if he still wasn't really sure then he would have removed himself from the process himself.

Didn't Freo offer LJ more than we could in the end? McKay would have needed a decent carrot to leave. There's every chance Carlton would have gone for it but McKay wouldn't have too. Don't think we did ourselves many favours or capitalised on the flag to make us look like a reasonable destination unfortunately. The board room fights, rumours about Goodwin and cultural issues all started in 2022 and we allowed that all to fester for two more years.

Looking like a mess off-field, worst training ground in Victoria, and lack of cap space all would have contributed. Richmond were a big club, in a great location and were extremely well run, and then were able to offer Lynch a big contract albeit backloaded.

If we pick any of Skipworth, Kelly or King and Geelong and Collingwood make the granny it won't be during prelim week. Weird we put this timeline on it.

Will be very interesting to see what the candidates are for the board position.

I find it difficult to see any way Caufield gets done without government funding which means we're probably lobbying for it.

Yeah this is what confuses me about the cats conspiracies. Outside of Cameron, Smith, Stewart, and Dangerfield (who would now be sundowning) most of their players are just solid role players.

Haha ikr. So jealous.

Game over. What a performance from Geelong.

All their talls are rock solid too. Brick wall behind the ball.

Cats look insane. Hard to see anyone stopping them playing like this.
