I think an organisation of any type would be sensitive to health of an employee and the stress it places on a family. Add to this the role of an Italian family and the way they work as a family. It was a workplace incident. We need to move past this idea that footy is a ‘man’s’ game and everyone should toughen the F up. If Trac was my family, I’d ask a few questions and lose trust in the club and its medical staff. im sure the club has invited the family into the rooms and facilities and encouraged them to play a role over the years. You can’t have it both ways…

I hope we get him for cheap RTG. If the potential is there. You would know more than me. I’m going of what is said on DL

Have to agree with you GW. Bub surfaces every time the club has an issue. He is consistent at least 🥴

I would like a discussion about list management. I look at the Casey/MFC listed players and I’m placing my hopes on players like Fullarton. Btw, I believe he should be given a chance given our forward issues, but I don’t believe we have the players underneath to make a real impact. Has the club faltered with its draft strategy of giving away mid draft picks focussing on high end picks only? I believe the high end picks will be good players, but our depth is poor and who do we bring in as a glimmer of hope?

True that, but my employer never had my health on a knife edge either. If they did balls that up my family would be asking questions (at least)

Good, come to us as a Rookie.😳

Or, family is an important element and factor. Mine is.

It will our Gotcha. I worry the Hawks will come back and win the game 😳

Port have some big talent and are playing a good brand of football. This is making me feel even worse about our situation.

Goodwin has had months to turn things around. He has the opportunity to reward good form in the VFL by providing opportunities to Fullarton. He has had history to inform him playing Spargo unfit does not work. Players look very unhappy playing. I support the club as well. Massive thanks to Goodwin for giving me a bucket list moment I will always treasure, but he isn’t our next premiership coach. Change is needed.

Roos would not have come to the club without the AFL backing. The USA and retirement was his passion at the time. We can argue semantics here. Agree to disagree!

You are asking the wrong persons You Little, but I will say it is definitely not from those who have fat wallets as the only factor. Roos was completely driven by the AFL.

I think we are Bub. I’m reading from the posters who come out of the woodwork consistently when the chips are down to attack the club/personnel as per usual. What is surprising me, is many who don’t have a propensity to attack the club speaking out and calling out for change asap.

Allow those who have an idea run the club. Coterie’s do not have knowledge, they have money. Change should be in the hands of professionals, not dictated by those with money. Your theory would take the club back to the dark days of the 70’s, 80’s, etc. Btw, the AFL was the main factor in getting Roos and Jackson.

We are almost the worst team in the comp with Trac, Oliver, Gawn, May, Langdon and co. We have talent such as Windsor, Lindsay, Langford and JVR. That’s half a team. I wanted to add Fritta to this list as well. At his best he is AA. Change is what is needed. Goody plus others. No point in waiting IMO. start with the coach, others at season end.

You miss the point here You Little. A voice and influence have different meanings. A big part of our poor history has been due being handcuffed to Coterie groups with money. I’d rather be handcuffed by skill and knowledge, not money. #MAGA 🥴

Gotta love the timing here. Koz has stated he wants to leave the club late last year (to the club). Media = Vultures 🦅

Great. Go back to the days when the Coterie’s have too much say in how the club runs itself. Bring back Neeld as well 🥴

I’ll always be thankful to Goody for our recent run but he is stubborn and won’t try new things. He needs to go I want to see Casey players given a chance to play seniors and see if they are up to the level. Give Fullarton, Sestan, Adam’s, Brown, Verrall and Jeffo a good run at AFL at different times. See players in different positions. Petts and Turner as a genuine swing men. Howes as a mid/fwd. Allow Lever an extended period off to get his body right. Play Spargo at Casey until he can get his fitness levels to an AFL standard. Etc etc etc. We need someone who is willing to shake things up and try new things. This season is gone already.

Absolute agree on team selection. Spargo being picked without being able to train for the last 18 months is mind blowing. His 10 possessions per game are not game changing. Not an attack on Spargo, more on the clubs ability to kill the confidence of players. Fullarton should have warranted selection last night. Now watch him lose confidence at Casey knowing he won’t have a job in 2026… Doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Insanity.

Must have been a looooong dinner. 🥱🥱

Werribee should stick to his day job (chairman of selectors, Demonland Pty Ltd) Possibly take some leave to calm his farm tho. 🤨

The good thing about modern day rucking and their value to the team is, unless you are a Max, being serviceable and playing to the team structures is enough to have an impact. Tom is a team player and will be of good service if/when needed.

Campbell is at his fourth club and is 33 year old. Ripping bloke, good footballer, but not best 23 imo.

I disagree Campbell is best 23. He is serviceable and plan B to Max getting injured. His ‘journey man’ status informs us he has great qualities, but not as a best 23 man in any team.
