A few years is an eternity in football. A bit presumptuous to think the job will be automatically his by then.

Starting to feel like we got hoodwinked by this review and have opened the door to a bunch of quacks. The players have training, what three days a week? And on at least two of those days the players are just bludging and messing around. At least the players are learning how to accept losing as we'll be doing a lot of that this season.

Seems like our wins aren't in public view either!

Any chance of us practicing the gameplan we're apparently trying to learn?

I feel like this is just semantics. He's a short term president who has taken on the job until Smith is ready in a years time. It's the definition of interim.

Some of the vision we're seeing of our efforts over the past couple of weeks is truly damning and screams of a team who don't believe in their coach, system or teammates. Realstically Goodwin has two months to turn this around before the club will be forced to make a decision. I don't see a way for Goodwin to resolve this with his current all positive lovey-dovey approach. At some point you need to give the players some hard truths.

Goodwin has a horrible record at our home ground pretty sure it's below 50% Conversely he's had a much better record on the road than any other coach in my lifetime, but that record isn't going to look as flattering by years end.

It was completely made up by Kane Cornes.

Would seriously look at Leppitsch

Absolutely no synergy in the team at the moment. Players either haven't bought into the new gameplan, don't understand it or simply cant execute it.

Do you think that we're playing to the level we're capable of? Personally I feel the players look completely lost right now and have very little belief in what they're doing. So much [censored] has happened over the past few years on and off the field. I really just think the club needs a fresh start and some clear air.

Pressure to perform will always be there. It's part of the job.

I seriously can't work out what we're trying to do with our forwardline. They all seem to hover around in their starting positions rather than creating any actual space or movement. We have shown a desire to take the corridor more but it's all in vain as we get to our front half the half forwards are all flat-footed and too close to the midfielders and so we just boot it to the same spot that's easy to defend. You watch other sides and they'll have some of their forward push up closer to the contest, a couple sit deep and then hold a shape that will allow them to lead into space or at least compete in a one on one. Our forwards just seem to hold their position then when the ball comes in they all try and jump for the same ball and run into each other as a result. It shouldn't be as hard as we make it look.

Favourite quote of the night was "Even when you're losing you're winning."

So basically Open Mike

It makes me wonder if potential CEOs don't want to be left carrying the can for Caufield not getting up.

Well that's not ideal.

Twitter really died when they introduced editing posts.

"Simin"

The fact that we can only win if we dominate clearances and contested ball and all our best players are on fire is absolutely a coaching issue. It shows that we're winning off star factor rather than structure.

The calls to drop Fritsch amuse me. Like it's going to make any difference if we're kicking high up-and-unders to the top of Fullarton's head instead of Fritsch. Fritsch is a player that thrives on being isolated deep and sharking the ball off a spoil in space. Our appalling forward structure and entries absolutely kill him.

This is pretty much the reaction I've seen from the majority of people in the media? Goodwin was well intentioned but made an error putting the spotlight on Gawn's personal issues.

Our membership steadily increased over the 2010s when we were horrible. I think 2013 was the only year it went backwards. Personally think that the style of football we play is just not something that gets people on board unless we're winning. Club needs to offer supporters hope and excitement again.

Maybe it's not the line coaches who are the issue when we have all the exact same issues that we did in years gone by with different coaches.

The Viney contract really was completely unnecessary, he still had another year to go.
