PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
I’d be more than happy for the club to throw the 💩 and boycott next week

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
Windsor needs to play and on a wing. Disappointed Sestan is injured, he would have been worth a go at this stage. I would t be disappointed if Adam’s was given a go and replaced Howes. His form has been inconsistent but give him a look at AFL level and it wouldnt hurt the club. Lever’s body is shot, is too slow and his disposal is below average. He needs a rest to get himself right for next year. JVR is an obvious one.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Inclusions will be TMac, JVR, Lever and Laurie. I’m not anticipating any surprises or anything different.

It’s over - if you’re CEO, what’s the fix?
The inside word I received prior to the season was Kozzie was leaving to WA and Goody will go at seasons end if we don’t make finals. Take it as you will as Kozzie is a demon for life (overjoyed by this). But at the time I do believe Kozzie was looking elsewhere and informed the club late last year. If Goody stays it will be more about his payout than wanting to keep him as coach. His win loss record over the last 50 games is not good. Last year’s review recognised that the club had a favourable draw and finals was a minimal pass mark. I will be forever thankful for Goody and the premiership he gave us all, but it seems he has lost his way and the club should bring in someone new at a reduced pay to stay within the cap in the first year and increase it in later years. (Back loading the contract). Alan Richardson was seen as a weak Football Manager from the review and he needs to be replaced at minimum at years end. Who knows how the new CEO and President will views things. Their job is to build a strong performing club which includes the football department.

Further to my previous post, the club should be keeping an eye on Corey Enright. A Bartel and Enright combo could be a winner.

Bring in new people with a vision. Start with Bartel as General Manager of football. A new coach from a successful football club and program who brings with them people who can implement a game plan. Possibly replace Lamb to bring in players who compliment the new vision and new coaches philosophy. Our list runs thin and new recruits (from the draft) are asked to do too much in their first year. Look at the fitness program. The injury list is impressive, but players cramping in the 3rd quarter today is a worry. So is watching Langford and Lindsay struggling form a long season.

My 3 word player analysis V GC
Harsh in Lindsay. No growth on a young man who had a limited pre-season is not fair. He was not seen today, but his growth has been impressive. Salem - runs on a treadmill.

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
On a positive note; we have the talent at the top end. Lack the talent on the middle, and some young guys who could turn out to be good/very good We are a team deft of system and confidence. We need a change our coach, method and system

Gawn is not perfect Chook. 3 goals 13 behinds this year says it so. But, he is damn good/great

It looked aggressive when the rest of the team were extremely passive.

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Max is a fantastic leader of our club. He has been forced to bunker down for our club when the 💩 was hitting the fan. Still is and will always be doing so. If Max is your point of reference for that first quarter, I suggest you look to others.

Trying is heart out, as usual….. 🤔

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
you can cancel out the first quarter. No one was getting a possession in the forward line

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast
Viney has lifted this quarter. He has been impressive
